Box Office: Paranormal Activity Spooks Its Way to No. 1
Talk about a shocker! The low-budget underdog Paranormal Activity has been riding its growing popularity all the way to the top — even upsetting the reigning king of horror, the Saw franchise.

Cirque du Freak: An Unnecessary Addition to Vampire Entertainment
With Halloween just around the corner, October is the perfect time for movie studios to unleash their creepiest films, since we're all in the mood for a good scare.

Stein's Goosebumps novels on the big screen — but not nearly as scary.

Are You Tired of Vampire Entertainment?

Salma Hayek Is a Bearded Mama
Salma Hayek sported some serious facial hair playing the bearded lady on the set of Cirque du Freak in New Orleans last week. The beard may not be gorgeous Salma's best look, but at least she took it off when her precious Valentina was around — seeing mommy like that might be a little scary for a 7-month-old. We love that Salma gets her mommy moments while hard at work, and their time together on set will be a great story for Valentina when she's old enough to see the movie someday.
