WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It’s crazy to think that birds have never been too far when it comes to horror in both films and literature. Take The Birds for example directed by Alfred Hitchcock or The Raven written by Edgar Allen Poe. Even Stephen King used sparrows in Dark Half as a symbol …
Jean Grey AKA Sophie Turner
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’m going to try not to be overly critical of Sophie Turner when it comes to her role as, let’s be accurate, the young Jean Grey but it was hard for me to look on her taking the role approvingly. Obviously I have grown up with Famke Janssen playing …
Music of the Night
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Listen to the children of the night, what beautiful music they make…or whatever Dracula once said.

Flame Boy AKA Michael B Jordan
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Now, as many of you know – Michael B Jordan is one of a few to play two Marvel characters, in Killmonger and Flame Boy.

Singer to Actress: Billie Piper
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It’s funny to think that I was only 5 years old when Billie Piper released her debut single Because We Want To back in 1998!

Singer to Actor: Frank Sinatra
