This interview contains spoilers for the end of Marvel’s Daredevil Season 3, which is now streaming on Netflix.

The ending of Daredevil Season 3 hints that Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter is right on target (sorry) for a transformation into Bullseye in a potential Season 4 of the Netflix drama, with the final shot of the season evoking Bullseye’s iconic symbol of concentric circles through a reflection in Dex’s eye.

Some fans have speculated that this shot means that the surgeons operating on the villain are imbuing Dex with special powers in addition to reinforcing his spine with cogmium steel, but showrunner Erik Oleson clarified the moment for IGN in a recent interview, which you can watch above.

In a month where Netflix released 52 original films and series–including massive flagship series like Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Daredevil–it’s not surprising that you might’ve missed some of the new offerings from the streaming service. But hidden amongst the Halloween tie-ins and superhero serials is one of the most searing, brutal, and great action films of recent years. Timo Tjahjanto’s The Night Comes For Us is a martial arts movie wrapped in a horror film dipped in some serious action pedigree with the violence and gore turned up to 11.

It was announced this morning that WarnerMedia is going to be discontinuing FilmStruck – the streaming service devoted to the best in classic, international, and art cinema – on November 29 of this year. That gives us just over a month to view as much of their carefully curated collection as we can before the library is, effectively, scattered to the winds.

This news is, of course, a great blow to fans of classic and international film. When FilmStruck was first announced back in 2016, cinephiles everywhere were elated. No longer would those seeking great movies have to deal with the fickle, ever-mutating online catalogues of services like Netflix that filled up their archives with a spate of brand new original releases and, often, unknown B-movies of dubious quality (not that there is anything wrong with said original programming, or even with unknown B-movies, but when on the prowl for classic cinema, it did tend to get in the way). Now we could simply subscribe to a service that offered the best of the Criterion Collection and Turner Classic Movies instantly. FilmStruck was essentially delivering on the promise that online streaming services originally made: complete, easy, instant access to a collection of the best movies in the world.

Following the controversy surrounding the character Apu in The Simpsons, it appears Fox is reportedly set to drop the character from the long running show.

Speaking to IndieWire, producer Adi Shankar said that he got some “disheartening news” and claimed Apu will not be a part of the show he joined all the way back in 1990 during its first season.

“I got some disheartening news back, that I’ve verified from multiple sources now: They’re going to drop the Apu character altogether,” said Shankar. “They aren’t going to make a big deal out of it, or anything like that, but they’ll drop him altogether just to avoid the controversy.”

Now that Netflix has unleashed Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on us mere mortals, introducing a wild witching world, it’s clear that this is a unique take on horror. Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has taken everything he learned from making Riverdale–and his horror comics set in the Archie universe–to construct a timeless world that’s as haunting as it is campy.

Of course, Aguirre-Sacasa and the Chilling Adventures team didn’t do it alone. Everywhere you look on the series, there are nods to iconic horror films. In fact, the first episode opens with a discussion about George Romero’s zombie films between Sabrina Spellman and her friends. What you might not have noticed, though, is all of the visual tributes to the horror world.

During a visit to the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina set, GameSpot and a few other outlets were lucky enough to take a tour with production designer Lisa Soper. While walking around, Soper pointed out several nods that are easy to miss if you don’t know what you’re looking for, from hidden posters to outright replicas of set pieces from a number of films.

Check out all of the photos we took on the tour, including one where the set from a popular horror TV show is actually reconfigured to create something new for Chilling Adventures. Then let us know what we missed! With so much horror history for the show to draw from, there’s no telling where else the Chilling Adventures team hid a special homage to another film or TV show.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is streaming on Netflix now.

1. Original art by Clive Barker

As GameSpot previously reported, one of the biggest homages to the horror genre in Chilling Adventures isn’t to any specific movie, but rather to the master of horror himself, Clive Barker. The halls of the Academy of Unseen Arts are adorned with a variety of original paintings by Barker. In all, the production has borrowed over 150 pieces from the director of Hellraiser, allowing a number of combinations to make each room in the academy feel unique.

2. Tiles from the Cotton house in Hellraiser

As one way of thanking Barker for his contributions, there are a number of Hellraiser Easter eggs scattered throughout the series–with many of them appearing in the home of Madam Satan (Michelle Gomez). In fact, they start as soon as you walk in. The tiles in the entryway of her home is a recreation of the tiles seen in the Cotton House in Hellraiser.

3. Wallpaper from the Cotton house in Hellraiser

Additionally, the wallpaper in Madam Satan’s house was inspired by wallpaper seen in Hellraiser.

4. Stained glass inspired by Hellraiser

Even the stained glass windows in the main room of Madam Satan’s home are a shoutout to Hellraiser. In the film, a very similar window is featured in the front door of the Cotton house and throughout the abode.

5. Doors from Suspiria

In the Academy of Unseen Arts, there is a massive nod to Suspiria, the Dario Argento classic horror film, in Father Blackwood’s office. The doors to the room, while not exact replicas, were made to heavily resemble a pair of doors featured in Suspiria.

6. Accent table designed like Hellraiser puzzle cube

Meanwhile, Blackwood’s office also includes another homage to Hellraiser. An accent table in the room is designed to resemble the puzzle cube from Barker’s film.

7. The Spellman house is is inspired by the House of Seven Gables

The design of Sabrina’s home itself is a reference to the gothic novel The House of Seven Gables–as well as the actual House of Seven Gables in Salem. Soper pointed out the red door, in particular, which is made to look like the original, but with a “Sabrina edge.”

8. Stained glass ceiling inspired by Suspiria

The ceiling of the Spellman Mortuary sitting room might look a bit familiar. The massive stained glass piece is a replica of one that was crashed through in Suspiria. Hopefully, Chilling Adventures is a bit more careful with it than Suspiria was.8. Stained glass ceiling inspired by Suspiria

9. Baby Venus flytrap inspired by Little Shop of Horrors

Feed me, Seymour! In the Spellman greenhouse, there is one particular plant that should catch some eyes. Among the various flowers and greenery is a baby Venus flytrap, designed to look like Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors.

10. Haxan poster and art inspired by Friday the 13th

In addition to set pieces that look like they were pulled from a variety of films, there are also a number of horror movie posters scattered around Chilling Adventures–especially in Sabrina’s room. One that pops up in a few places is for Haxan, a 1922 silent film. In this particular shot, you can also see a piece of Sabrina’s original artwork, which looks a lot like Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th franchise. According to Soper, Sabrina has a habit of drawing haunting images on top of the photos in her room.

11. Village of the Damned poster

Sabrina’s room also includes a poster from the 1960 version of Village of the Damned.

12. Wait Until Dark poster

One last horror poster in Sabrina’s room is for the 1967 film Wait Until Dark, which stars Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin.

13. Wood reclaimed from the set of Bates Motel

It’s not just replicas and posters shown in Chilling Adventures. The attic bedroom of Sabrina’s cousin Ambrose is made of wood reclaimed from the set of Bates Motel, which–like Chilling Adventures–filmed in Vancouver, Canada. There’s something creepy about Ambrose having a room made out of the remains of Norman Bates’ home.

14. Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? poster

In his room, Ambrose pays tribute to Bette Davis and Joan Crawford with a poster of the 1962 thriller Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?

15. One Exciting Night poster

Like Sabrina, he also has a poster for a classic silent film. DW Griffith’s One Exciting Night is featured on a poster.

16. Fearless Vampire Killers poster

One last poster in his room is for Fearless Vampire Killers, the Roman Polanski horror film that starred Sharon Tate.

18. A strange connection to real-life horrors

It’s just not the sets and props that connect to evil, though. In the fourth episode, while trying out for the choir at the Academy of Unseen Arts, Sabrina sings a song called “I’ll Never Say Never to Always.” The track is originally written by none other than Charles Manson, the now-deceased former cult leader and mastermind behind the Manson Family murders in the ’60s/

Red Dead Redemption 2 offers a bounty of goodies for pre-orders and its two special editions, but you’ll have to wait before claiming many of them. The game’s first chapter sets up many of the mechanics and story information you’ll need, so you’ll have to progress past at least that point before you can start to access your extras.

Keep in mind that in each of these cases, you’ll also need to enter a code to enable the bonuses. Those codes can be found on slips included with your game disc. Even after entering the codes, though, the bonuses won’t necessarily be accessible immediately. In case you’re wondering where to find your loot, we’ve compiled a list of the goodies below.

War Horse — The War Horse bonus is included with all pre-orders of Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s accessible once you’ve progressed through the story mode enough to browse the available horses in the Stables.

Dappled Black Thoroughbred — This special horse is included in Special and Ultimate editions. Like the War Horse, it’s accessible once you can browse the Stables.

Eagle Talon Talisman and Iguana Scale Trinket — Both of these bonuses are included in all Special and Ultimate editions, and they can be equipped at the start of Chapter 2. The Eagle Talon Talisman can be found in the Wardrobe and the Iguana Scale Trinket is in the Satchel under the Kit tab.

Nuevo Paraiso Gunslinger Outfit — This outfit is included in Special and Ultimate editions. You can access it through your Wardrobe after completing Chapter 1.

Volcanic Pistol, Pump Action Shotgun, and Lancaster Varmint Rifle — These specialty guns are included with Special and Ultimate Editions. They can be picked up for free at any Gunsmith after completing Chapter 1.

Bank Robbery Mission and Gang Hideout — These are both available for Special and Ultimate editions. The Del Lobos gang hideout can be found in the world during story progression. The Bank Robbery Mission will also be available through story progression, and the game will notify you when it becomes available. If you miss the opportunity, you can find it in the Story menu to replay it.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has released, and along with it comes the mobile companion app. The app links up with your copy of the game and helps you keep track of your location with an interactive map, along with a handful of other features so you can take the Old West with you around in your pocket.

The map lets you set waypoints and track your position in real-time. Aside from that handy widget, you can also view the game journal, shop for clothing, check your game progress, and read the game manual. It also links up with Rockstar’s Social Club. The app itself is free on both iOS and Android, but both versions offer a $10 in-app purchase of the official strategy guide. The social club integration may be a boon to your gang of outlaws when Red Dead Online launches next month.

To get started on the right foot, check out our list of essential tips for beginners, and refresh yourself on the story from the first game. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a massive and ambitious game, and as noted in our review, it stands on its own even without knowing the details of John Marston’s story.

“While Red Dead Redemption was mostly focused on John Marston’s story, Red Dead 2 is about the entire Van der Linde gang–as a community, as an idea, and as the death rattle of the Wild West. It is about Arthur, too, but as the lens through which you view the gang, his very personal, very messy story supports a larger tale,” wrote critic Kallie Plagge. “Some frustrating systems and a predictable mission structure end up serving that story well, though it does take patience to get through them and understand why. Red Dead Redemption 2 is an excellent prequel, but it’s also an emotional, thought-provoking story in its own right, and it’s a world that is hard to leave when it’s done.”
