Fun With Horror

John Horn talks with director Roxanne Benjamin about her work on Shudder's new anthology series, "Creepshow." The show is a re-imagining of the classic 1982 horror movie of the same name and features short form segments written by Stephen King and others. Benjamin talks about working with practical effects master Greg Nicotero ("The Walking Dead") for the show and why she thinks horror is undervalued as a genre.

Everclear Frontman Goes Solo

One of the punk-pop stars of the ’90s is back with a solo album. Art Alexakis, the frontman of Everclear, has a lot of heavy things on his mind: white supremacists, cyberbullies, and living with a scary disease. But as he explained to The Frame contributor Tim Greiving, this might be his sunniest album yet.

Variety's Todd Spangler talks with John Horn about what might be next for the mega popular video game Fortnite, which seemed to disappear into a black hole over the weekend.
