The final chapter of Power Book II: Ghost was closed on October 4, 2024, with Tariq St. Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr.) gaining the upper hand on two of his most threatening enemies. Now that Monet Tejada (Mary J. Blige) is also out of the picture, Tariq has more freedom to begin life anew than ever, leading many fans of the hard-hitting Starz crime drama to wonder if he's been seen for the last time.

More importantly, with Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Power Book IV: Force still going strong, it's worth exploring how the events of the Ghost finale will inform the overarching Power universe moving forward. Raising Kanan Season 4 and Force Season 3 near their expected winter 2024 releases requires a clarifying recap to determine how the ambitious crime series will continue.

Whenever the 13th day of any given month falls on a Friday, the internet horror community spends that entire week celebrating the Friday the 13th franchise, and we feel it is our duty as horror fans to plop down on our couches and ingest as many of the films in the franchise as possible... and it sort of is our unwritten duty, isn't it?

Many blog posts are written about the various actors/stuntmen who brought Jason to life over the years, guys like Kane Hodder and Derek Mears, whom we will forever love for putting on the hockey mask. But I wanted to go in a bit of a different direction today, and instead shine the...

Visitor - who was the first cast - stars in the actual film at Ms. Voorhees, while Garrett shared her voice as Jason's anger-filled mama in the full trailer that's been online the past few months. Hope that clears the air. You can see Visitor in action when Friday hits theaters February 13th, 2009.
