Published

One summer can change everything.

Ahead of Season 3’s arrival on July 4th, “Stranger Things” are currently happening at Baskin Robbins, with select stores being turned into Scoops Ahoy shops for a limited time!

Scoops Ahoy is the faux ice cream shop that’ll be featured inside the Starcourt Mall in the third season of Netflix’s series, and Baskin has gone all out to make you feel like you’ve literally stepped inside the ’80s ice cream shop. From stickers and decorations to employees decked out in blue Scoops Ahoy t-shirts, it’s truly one of the coolest promotions I’ve ever come across.

Of course, several “Stranger Things”-themed treats are being offered up inside “Scoops Ahoy,” including the Demogorgon Sundae, the Elevenade Freeze, the Upside Down Sundae and pre-packed quarts of U.S.S. Butterscotch. The flavors Upside Down Pralines and Eleven’s Heaven can also be purchased, available in cones/cups as well as take-home containers.

There’s even a “Polar Pizza” made with a chocolate chip cookie crust and Snickers ice cream that uses strings of fudge and M&Ms to make Byers-house style Christmas lights!

Additionally, exclusive merchandise like a Baskin Robbins Exclusive Funko POP! toy of Steve, Scoops Ahoy t-shirts, stickers, magnets and collectible ice cream containers are available.

You can check out the full line of goodies over on Baskin’s website.

Below you’ll find some photos I took at my local Baskin Robbins today. It’s so awesome to see the place going so all-in for “Stranger Things,” so definitely pay your local shop a visit ASAP!

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation

I'm the Grim Reaper

The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.

The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”

The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”

Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.

The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.

Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
