In the world of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, being a member of the McPoyle family means you’re a terrifying inbred weirdo. Yet, even in the sea of nauseating McPoyles, a good candidate for the most offensively strange is the deaf-mute Margaret McPoyle.

Played by Thesy Surface (who has neither her character’s trademark mustache nor unibrow Irl), Margaret McPoyle first appears briefly in Season Two when her brother compliments her “top-notch boobies.” She tailgates with the rest of her family early in Season Three, before wielding a shotgun at the behest of her brothers in “The Gang Gets Held Hostage.” She also first has sex with a member of The Gang, Dennis, during the same episode. Her next sexual conquest is Mac in Season Six’s “Who Got Dee Pregnant?” before making her final appearances in Seasons Eight and Eleven.

We haven’t, though, seen Margaret McPoyle in...

The 1980s may have been the decade of the slasher flick, but fans of vampires and werewolves had plenty to enjoy, too -- the classic creatures were having their biggest moment since the '30s and '40s heyday of Universal monster movies. Although bloodsuckers just about edged it in terms of quality and variety, there was some really good lycanthrope action around, most notably John Landis's "An American Werewolf in London" and Joe Dante's "The Howling." Elsewhere, you had Michael J. Fox's slam-dunking furball in "Teen Wolf;" Neil Jordan's dark take on Little Red Riding Hood in "The Company of Wolves;" and the Wolf Man teaming up with his old Universal buddies again in "The Monster Squad." Somewhat lost in the mix was "Silver Bullet," a creepy and underrated tale from the pen of Stephen King.

The author from Maine was just about everywhere in the mid-'80s.

The 1980s werewolf movie Silver Bullet was panned as a complete howler by many critics on its release, but fans of the cult classic werewolf movie starring Gary Busey and Corey Haim from the mind of Stephen King can now stream the movie for free. The horror film from 1985 is now part of Tubi's extensive library of scary movies, although the scares in this one are admittedly few and far between. However, that doesn't mean Silver Buller isn't worth a rewatch.

Other horror titles arriving on Tubi include four Insidious movies, both Grindhouse movies by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, the zombie feature starring Brad Pitt, World War Z, and the "alligators act like sharks" movie, Crawl, among others. However, if you're in for a Stephen King marathon, Tubi also offers adaptations like Children of the Corn, two Carrie movies, the author's directorial effort Maximum Overdrive, and Creepshow 2.

Lynne Marie Stewart, best known for playing Miss Yvonne on Pee-wee’s Playhouse and her recurring role on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, has passed away at the age of 78.

There are plenty of movie and TV moments that fans have quoted so many times that even people who haven't seen them know the reference. However, few have been iconic enough in popular culture to transcend their original context and reach internet immortalization as a meme.

While FX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has created countless opportunities for such fame with its absurd episode premises and comically degenerate characters, one stands out above the rest in terms of digital celebrity. Charlie's (Charlie Day) Pepe Silvia conspiracy meme has been shared by millions of users across social media platforms, making it one of the most recognizable moments from the series as well as establishing it as an ever-evolving expression of humor beyond the small-screen.

As altered images and GIFs of a crazed Charlie smoking in front of a nonsensical evidence board have flooded the internet, they have since taken a life of their own.

Sitcoms are a staple of American culture and television. So many incredible stories have been told through the comedic weekly lens of life all over the world. Fans have grown accustomed to falling in love with their favorite characters and hoping for their success.

On top of those iconic characters, there are also iconic characters that have only needed one episode to stand out. Although it's rare to have guest appearances on great sitcoms that only run for a single episode, some of them have withstood the test of time.

Since 2005, Grey's Anatomy has produced a hoard of amazing characters. From incredible surgeons like Richard Webber to swoon-worthy doctors like Derek Shepherd, all of these characters work to make this show a success. So, even with a variety of intense medical cases, many long-term fans would agree that the show is a hit because of its diverse range of characters.

But with so many faces to choose from, it's evident that not everyone is going to be a fan favorite. Some characters are just too obnoxious for their own good, and occasionally, a certain character will just take things too far. As such, for every good Grey's Anatomy character, there seems to be plenty that are just plain annoying.

The allure of the werewolf has persisted for centuries, rooted in mythology that speaks to our darkest fears and primal instincts. Representing a loss of control and a descent into savagery, werewolves embody the tension between humanity and beast. In cinema, these themes have been explored in a variety of ways, from tragic tales to gory thrill rides.

With the release of Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man (2025) today, the werewolf genre has received a modern update that honors its roots while exploring the emotional depths of family, sacrifice, and monstrous transformation. To celebrate, we’ve compiled the ultimate list of the best werewolf films ever made, ranked by acclaim and legacy.

An episode of television that takes place almost entirely in one location is referred to as a 'bottle episode.' This trope originated as a way for shows to save money on sets, but it has become a beloved tradition. The limitation creates a unique set of challenges for writers, often resulting in innovative and memorable episodes of TV.

While bottle episodes can be found across all genres of television, they're particularly effective when it comes to sitcoms, which often find outlandish ways to confine their entire cast in one room. The format creates the perfect formula for savvy sitcoms to plant jokes they can call back to throughout the episode, while providing the opportunity to lean into atypical character pairings. Clever comedies also introduce a mounting sense of pressure that pushes their characters to the most heightened version of themselves.

While the werewolf is one of the coolest creatures ever imagined, there seems to be a belief that there hasn’t been many good werewolf movies. So we here at Arrow in the Head decided to take a look back at the films that have been made over the decades and compile a list of the Best Werewolf Movies. Check out our picks below, and leave a comment letting us know what your favorite werewolf movies are!

Wolf (1994)

Wolf is generally not a highly regarded movie, which is kind of shocking when you take into account that it was directed by Mike Nichols, started off as an idea from Legends of the Fall writer Jim Harrison, and has a cast packed with Oscar winners and nominees. Well, it is rather dull for large stretches of its overly long 125 minute running time and there’s way too much about the lead...

House successfully pushed against many of the medical dramas seen at the time, focusing on the most rare and unusual cases the world had ever seen. While shows like E.R. were dependent on scary events like crashes or accidents, House worked to transform the most ordinary examples into some of the most gripping television ever shown. As such, even 12 years after its finale, it's still regarded as one of the most intense dramas in history.

But, with so many weird and whacky cases, it can be hard for fans to wrap their heads around a lot of the terminology. Plus, since a lot of these medical cases are accompanied by a ton of obscure symptoms, it makes it even more difficult for viewers to understand the severity of the situation. Thus, it's important that fans uncover the weirdest cases so that they can really understand just how unique this show is.

Hulu’s Tell Me Lies, the streamer’s sexiest series, returns for season two on September 4, 2024. The new season kicks off with the release of the first two episodes, followed by new episodes of the eight-episode season on Wednesdays.

Hulu offered this description of season two: “Tell Me Lies season two picks up as Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White) return to college, not speaking after their dramatic breakup at the start of the summer. Yet while very much at odds, they find themselves in a new version of their addictive dynamic – which is as infuriating as it is inescapable.

Memorable and underutilized supporting characters in television history. Examples include Gail the Snail in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Mona Lisa Saperstein in Parks and Recreation. Some characters had potential for further development, while others were important to main characters' storylines but disappeared.

Ive always felt some of the best sitcom characters were often the most underutilized, and there were plenty of hilarious characters Id love to have seen more of. While I agree, theres some merit to the idea that less can be more when it came to beloved sitcom characters, and by keeping their appearances brief, the excitement whenever they appeared onscreen was be maintained. However, I cannot help feeling that some characters potential has been wasted through their limited use, and these sitcoms could have benefited from giving some of these secondary characters more time in the spotlight.

Danny DeVito reveals that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 17 is set to begin filming in September. The long-running comedy show has already been renewed through season 18. This filming schedule could mean that season 17 will premiere in early 2025.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Danny DeVito has seemingly revealed when the new season will begin filming. The long-running comedy show about a group of Philadelphian bar owners, which also stars Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Rob McElhenney, and Kaitlin Olson, has been running on FX and then Fxx since it premiered in 2005, with more than 170 episodes under its belt at the time of writing. Although the next installment will be It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 17, the show was renewed for four seasons in 2020, which will extend its run until at least season 18.

On Twitter, Deadline shared a red carpet interview with Danny DeVito discussing the upcoming season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Along with The Mist and Dreamcatcher, Cycle of the Werewolf was one of my first introductions to Stephen King, so the Master of Horror's powerfully poignant prose in that novella—combined with the legendary Bernie Wrightson's amazing illustrations—will forever hold a special place in my horror-loving heart, and so too does its film adaptation: Dan Attias' Silver Bullet (which really captures the blood-soaked slice of small-town life in Tarker's Mills).

It's especially thrilling, then, that Scream Factory will be unleashing their Collector's Edition of Silver Bullet on 4K Uhd and Blu-ray just in time for the holiday season, and we have a look at the full list of bonus features fans can look forward to, including a new audio commentary with Eric Vespe and Scott Wampler of The Kingcast!

It’s time for a new episode of the Wtf Happened to This Adaptation? video series, and with this one we’re looking back to 1985 to see how a Stephen King “novelette” called Cycle of the Werewolf became the 1985 film Silver Bullet (watch it Here). To hear all about the changes Cycle of the Werewolf went through on the way to becoming Silver Bullet, check out the video embedded above!

Directed by Dan Attias from a screenplay written by Stephen King himself, Silver Bullet has the following synopsis: When a series of unexplained murders occurs in the normally quiet town of Tarker’s Mill, the residents decide to hunt down the killer. However, many of these vigilantes end up dead, and those who don’t are no closer to finding an assailant. But, when a young wheelchair-using boy named Marty encounters a werewolf one night, the pieces begin to come together.

Paramount+ is set to launch its new spy thriller series, Rabbit Hole, headlined by Kiefer Sutherland (24). Sutherland stars as John Weir, a highly skilled private espionage agent who gets framed for murder and finds himself in a complex socio-political web. With the actor’s background in the crime and political thriller genre with projects like The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Designated Survivor, fans can rest assured that Rabbit Hole will also hold up to similar standards. Rabbit Hole also stars Charles Dance, Meta Golding, Rob Yang, Enid Graham, Jason Butler Harner, and Wendy Makenna, among others. Daniel Attias (Homeland) is credited as the director for numerous episodes of Rabbit Hole.

Amazon Prime has just released its new trailer for the dark comedy entitled, The Consultant, which stars Christoph Waltz.

Manhattan, Season 2, Episode 2, “Fatherland”

Written by Scott Brown

Directed by Dan Attias

Airs Tuesdays at 9pm (Et) on Wgn

A major theme of Manhattan‘s season premiere “Damnatio Memoriae” was “Where is Frank Winter?”. This week’s “Fatherland” answers that question but now asks, “Who is Frank Winter?”. Or more specifically, what role does the erstwhile leader of the implosion team play in the grand scheme of things?

When Frank told his wife Liza about the gadget during Manhattan‘s first season finale, “Perestroika,” he said the weapon is so powerful it will stop all future wars. “We’re writing the prologue to a new era: The history of peace,” he said. It wasn’t clear if he was simply telling her what he thought she wanted to hear, or if perpetual peace was a fairytale he told himself at night to lull his demons to sleep. But if Frank...

With “True Detective” wrapping up, there’s a possibility we might even miss this show. Yes, it’s easy to make fun of, but that’s just the thing: there’s some fun to be had, even if it’s at the show’s expense. You can’t say they didn’t try, and if it was a big swing and a miss, a big swing is at least worth discussing. The penultimate episode, “Black Maps and Motel Rooms,” directed by veteran TV director Daniel Attias, was, in a way, one of the best of the season. But like many of the episodes, while it had its moments of real intrigue and suspense, it also drifted into a noir fantasy-land where the characters in no way resemble or act like real people. If one thing is consistent, though, it’s the season’s nihilistic worldview, which truly comes into focus in this episode.

True Detective, Season 2, Episode 7, “Black Maps and Motel Rooms”

Written by Nic Pizzolatto

Directed by Daniel Attias

Airs Sundays at 9pm (Et) on HBO

That is not the type of penultimate episode that True Detective needs right now. After a rollercoaster of quality over the last handful of episodes, this second to last installment is decidedly one of the lesser entries of the season. It is a confusing mush of all of the storylines covered thus far but with none of the curiosity-spurring or artistic moments of the last two weeks. At this point, half the conversations Frank finds himself involved in are either pointlessly dull or too confusing to follow why they are happening in the first place. The Caspere murder is so far in the rearview mirror that its supposed purpose as narrative propulsion of the season is a sad thing to think about rather than an exciting mystery to solve.

Welcome to the second installment of our summer trip through "The Sopranos" season 1. When I revisited early seasons of "The Wire," as well as the whole run of "Deadwood," I did separate versions of each review for newcomers and veterans, but over time realized that the newcomers weren't commenting much, if at all, and that it therefore made sense to simply do one review. Any significant spoilers for episodes beyond the one being reviewed will be contained in a separate section at the end of the review; so long as you avoid that, and the comments, you should be fine. Thoughts on the second episode, "46 Long," coming up just as soon as I finish unscrewing my belly button... "But she's my mother.

It has been a year since the first season and fans have been itching to see what is next for the acclaimed HBO series, True Detective. Now, a teaser gives them a small glimpse into what this season has to offer.

HBO released the first teaser for season two on Thursday with glimpses at stars Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams, and Taylor Kitsch. The series steers into a new direction and story after Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson led the first season.

The new season will diverge from the model of the first one with director Cary Fukunaga (who directed every episode of the season) leaving the show. Fast & Furious veteran Justin Lin helmed the first two episodes of the season followed by Janus Metz Pedersen, Miguel Sapochnik, and Daniel Attias.

Nic Pizzolatto is still on board as the showrunner and writer.

The teaser doesn’t tell us much...

The black-sheep prophecy has been fulfilled, and you have reason to fear. "There's something off about (Danny)," Diana says. "You don't see him clearly." That's John's problem, and maybe it has been ours, too. Maybe we've given him too much credit. Written by Arthur Phillips, "Part 8" shows a Danny who's lost in the depths of his decadence. When he stares down Diana in her living room, there's a look in his eyes that would have you believe he's a stranger. The way Danny barges into John's home, wakes up his family, and throws his drunk brother under the bus is almost sociopathic.I was floored by some of the darker moments in this episode (directed by Dan Attias), mostly because Danny seems like he's reached the point of no return. Mendelsohn's behind-the-beat lines and drawn-out scenes this episode reinforced that uncomfortable notion — that some insidious plant is blossoming inside him.

The Americans, Season 3, Episode 8: “Divestment”

Written by Joshua Brand

Directed by Dan Attias

Airs Wednesdays at 10pm (Et) on FX

Calling attention to the lies told in an episode of The Americans might feel like spotlighting the sex in an hour of Game of Thrones, or the cringeworthiness of an installment of Girls, but this week’s “Divestment” is particularly filled with mendacity. As with the violence (which shall be discussed in a bit), it’s not the amount of it, but the severity of the obfuscations of truth which impacts viewers the most. Accordingly, “Divestment” contains some of the most painful and exaggerated lies seen on the show in recent memory.

The discomfort begins in the first scene of the opening act, where Martha is interrogated by the titular character of last week’s episode. His curiosity about her pens brings steadfast denials from her. It’s hard...

Silver Bullet (1985)

Directed By: Daniel Attias

Written By: Stephen King

Starring: Gary Busey (Uncle Red), Everett McGill (Reverend Lowe), Corey Haim (Mary Coslaw), Megan Follows (Jane Coslaw), Terry O’Quinn (Sheriff Haller), Robin Groves (Nan Coslaw), Leon Russom (Bob Coslaw), Bill Smitrovich (Andy)

“Silver Bullet”, based on a Stephen King novella “Cycle of the Werewolf”, is a worthy entry in the werewolf sub genre of horror. A good chunk of werewolf films are rather predictable in having the werewolves being the complete center of attention from start to finish but “Silver Bullet” takes the opposite route. The film has a lot of suspense building up to the eventual reveal, which I liked. I don’t know why I hadn’t watched this film before until now but I am glad I did.

Regardless, even with many similarities, the series still triumphs at following its own creative game. (Also, you wouldn’t hear the line, “I’m trying to kill the motherfucker who’s trying to kill us!” on 24, due to network constraints.)

The episode is divided into two halves. For the first 22 minutes – which take place in a form of real time that quickly conjures memories of the ticking-clock drama – the American embassy is under attack from Haqqani and his radicalized thugs. They reach the hidden stairwells...

“The Deal,” the fifth episode of The Americans’ second season, is one of the greats. Running longer than normal and giving every major character plenty to do, it could have been titled “Quartets.” Written by Angelina Burnett and directed by Daniel Attias, it boasted more plot than some shows pack into a season, yet it was all not just intelligible, but fascinating. One story followed Elizabeth as she closed off her relationship with Brad, the young Navy seaman whom she had convinced to steal the files of a Navy Seal who could lead her to the assassins of Emmett and Leanne. The second story line found Philip in an abandoned restaurant with a Mossad hitman who had interrupted his and Elizabeth’s kidnapping of Anton Baklanov, a dissident Russian Jewish scientist. The third plotline, centered on the FBI, saw Stan Beeman enlisting the help of previously pushed-out Agent Gad to find Anton.
