Video on Bringing Classic Horror to the MCU

Image: Marvel StudiosNext week, Marvel Studios debuts its first ever holiday special in the form of Werewolf by Night.

Crawl was one mighty exception to the rule, though, and it deserved all the love that it got.

That’s the…

5 classic Coolio songs that aren’t “Gangsta’s Paradise”

Artis Leon Ivey Jr., better known as Grammy Award-winning rapper, actor and producer Coolio, may have been born in Pennsylvania, but throughout his career, he always claimed Compton as his home turf.
