[Video] If You’re Not Watching “The Terror,” You Missed This Gruesome Creature Kill

Published

“This place wants us dead.”

With so much great horror on television right now, we realize it’s becoming nearly impossible to watch everything you want to be watching on a weekly basis. “The Walking Dead” and “Ash vs. Evil Dead” have been the two main staples in my own weekly rotation these last several weeks, and I recently added AMC’s new series “The Terror” to the mix.

In “The Terror,” produced by Ridley Scott, “The crew of a Royal Naval expedition searching for the Arctic’s treacherous Northwest Passage discovers instead a monstrous predator.”

As of this past Monday, three episodes of “The Terror” have thus far aired, effectively building up the suspense of precisely *what* is hunting the men aboard the two expedition ships. As if the harsh winter elements weren’t enough of a horror to endure, they’re being killed off by *something*… something we haven’t yet glimpsed in full.

The series was wonderfully restrained in its first two episodes, but oh boy did things get bloody and nasty in Episode 3, “The Ladder.” Shockingly, main character John Franklin (played by Ciarán Hinds) was attacked and brutally killed off by the mysterious beast, which first tore his leg clean off and then pushed him down into an icy death pit.

And it all started with another man getting his head ripped in two.

If you love winter-set horror stories, you NEED to be watching “The Terror.”

Thandiwe Newton Joins the Cast of “Wednesday” Season 2

Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.

Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.

Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.

“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…

“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.

We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.

“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
