Ok, look. Most of us have still not recovered from David Bowie's sudden departure from this planet last week, and even before his untimely passing, we probably would have said that Labyrinth does not need a reboot. In fact, the day before the news of his death broke, I was discussing the possibility of a Labyrinth reboot with friends, and when someone asked, "Well, who would play Jareth?" I replied, "David Bowie would just play him again, duh!" Because as we all know, David Bowie is and was a timeless presence, the perfectly dangerous, seductive Goblin King, and it is my firm belief that absolutely no one can replace him. Alas, this decision is not up to me, and a new Labyrinth movie is in fact on. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tri-Star has closed a deal with the Jim Henson Co. for a new film, with a script by Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel writer Nicole Perlman. And while we are frankly devastated at the thought of a remake, we do love Nicole Perlman. And it's

Thanks to the fine folks at Entertainment Earth, there are Cthulhu-inspired Monopoly and Yahtzee games we can play with! I've gotta say, I never thought I'd see Monopoly or Yahtzee go the Cthulhu route. But here it is, and it's awesome! Here are the details on Cthulhu Monopoly, which you can buy her…

In this Aeon Interview, Noël Carrol offers a few explanations. From the psychoanalytic angle, liking horror could be the id's way of controlling the superego. Alternatively, horror could satiate our epistemological thirst for the unknown or unthinkable. ow.ly/SJ3QH
