Derry, Maine, is not normal. It looks like your average small town, the kind of place that is replicated and dots the landscape all over the U.S. New England district. In some ways, the town looks almost like a picture postcard. However, looks can be deceiving. For instance, the locals are known...

Why do we like to be scared? I think that question is important. If we can explore why people are drawn to the Horror genre, then we’ll be tackling some of the most sophisticated material the imagination has to offer.

Well, that was a train wreck. Novelist Stephen King once described himself as a “brand-name author”. There’s no doubt that he has a wide name recognition in pop culture.

Some movies have been referred to as emotional rollercoasters. For “The Book of Henry,” it would be described as an emotional Apollo mission, or in other words a testament of every element coming together and pulling of something excellent. Henry (Jaeden Lieberher) is a boy genius. Not only does...
