Influencers Try to Cancel Leatherface in Trailer for Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Watch

Undeterred, the mass murderer revs up his signature chainsaw and takes out each person on the party bus one by one. The 2022 Texas Chainsaw Massacre marks the direct sequel to the original 1974 horror classic and centers around the idea of young people revitalizing a ghost town in Texas. Naturally, bratty teens along for the ride aren’t happy about the idea in the first place, and their hesitance is proven to be right when a certain chainsaw-wielding m...

Netflix Announces Semi-Improv Comedy Series Murderville Starring Will Arnett
This isn’t your mother’s murder mystery. Today, Netflix has announced Murderville, a six-episode comedy series starring Will Arnett as Terry Seattle, a senior homicide detective who enlists the help of some celebrity guests. The catch?
