The Final Girls Appears to Being Doing The Horror Spoof Right

In 1996 Wes Craven gave us one of the greatest horror satires of all time with Scream. It was hip and scary and filled with big names. Scream helped shape my formative years, giving me a real appreciation for the genre.

Sherlock Releases Trailer for Impending 19th Century Christmas Special

Nothing made me. I made me.

Arguably the smartest, most well-written show in the world, BBC’s Sherlock is coming back – way back. The upcoming Christmas special (no premiere date yet) will take place in the 19th century, and will provide us with the first new episode of the show since January of 2014, and only the tenth since the show began in summer of 2010.

The show tackled serious issues like war, prejudice, sexual assault and addiction, which allowed Sam to act as the voice of modern society railing against the common injustices of antiquated eras. The writing was often heartfelt and nostalgic, and for those reasons seemed to echo a sincere bond between the audience and the fictional time traveling Dr. Beckett.  What follows is a look back at ten of the most memorable leaps that Sam experienced after he stepped into the Quantum Leap Accelerator and vanished…
