The Cabin in the Woods

While we don't quite know exactly what 'Spartacus: Vengeance' will look like as it evolves into a third season (or even what subtitle it might take, if any), we've got a good bead on how the story will progress, our main villains, and now, a bevy of beautiful babies occupying the screen, some of whom Joss Whedon fans might recognize...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for those who haven't yet seen Drew Goddard's incredible new horror comedy 'The Cabin in the Woods.' But if you're a real American hero and have seen the film, you're no doubt dying to take a look at this image in still form.

The writer of many 'Buffy,' 'Angel' and 'Alias' episodes (as well as 'Cloverfield') has planted his butt firmly in the director's chair for 'Cabin in the Woods,' a film made by horror fans, for horror fans.  Co-written by Joss Whedon ('The Avengers'), the film was shot for MGM just in time for it to sit on a shelf while that studio roiled in financial di

Truth or dare is a silly little game that a lot of us have played at some point when we were teenagers. It's a simple enough game that not only forces everybody to interact with each other but dish out their secrets against their will.
