Spine-Tingling Spider-Man #1

After seeing Spider-Man make short work of Spidercide in the open pages of Spine-Tingling Spider-Man #1, with some beautiful art by Juan Ferreyra, the first issue of this series moves in an entirely different direction as we won’t see Spidey for the remainder of the comic. Peter wakes up to find his landlord, Aunt May, and MJ don’t know who he is. His Spidey powers are gone. The Avengers won’t take his calls.

The Fall of the House of Usher - Murder in the Rue Morgue

While the episode cuts from time to time back to the present, and once back to Roderick Usher’s (Bruce Greenwood) early days working for Rufus Griswold (Michael Trucco) which, honestly, I’m already out of patience for since they rarely do more than tease information they have no intention of actually providing, the majority of “Murder in the Rue Morgue” features the family coming together after Perry’s (Sauriyan Sapkota) death. We also see Arthur Pym (Mark Hamill) uncover the first clues to the involvement of our mysterious devil woman (Carla Gugino) while the show sets up two more deaths, the first of which will occur at the end of the episode in a sequence that is somehow both creepy and laugh-out-loud ridiculous when our evil woman, in chimp skins, beats the unlikable Camille (Kate Siegel) to death.

Goosebumps - Say Cheese and Die!

Inspired by the horror young adult novels from R. L. Stine, Disney+’s new series offers five stories of teens being haunted when a vengeful spirit is unleashed. Giving us boilerplate horror characters without much depth, our teens include the brash jock (Zack Morris), his mean girlfriend (Rhinnan Payne), his longtime female best friend (Isa Briones), and goofy sidekick (Miles McKenna). Taking advantage of a remodeled empty house for a party, one where their new English teacher (Justin Long) is about to move in and has unknowingly awakened the spirit of a high school student who died in the house 30 years earlier, our dumb kids are about to find themselves trapped in situations they can neither explain nor escape.
