When it comes to being the Dream Master, only one entity can wear the crown. Back in 1984, Wes Craven created the ultimate dream boogeyman with Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare On Elm Street. Freddy was revealed to be the bastard son of a hundred maniacs, who became a psychopathic child killer. When a technicality got him off scot-free, the parents of Elm Street came together to enact their own justice by burning him alive. Little did they know that he would return in their children’s dreams to get his revenge.
Vecna is rather new to the game, but was revealed on the latest season of Stranger Things to be the puppet master behind all of Hawkins’s misery over the course of the show. He started out as a young child with incredible psychic abilities. When he decided to straight up murder his whole family with this newfound power,...

In a surprising Where Are They Now update: actor David Joyner’s career has transitioned from Barney & Friends to owning and operating a tantric massage practice.
Though he was the character actor for the lovable purple Tyrannosaurus rex from 1991 to 2001, these days, Joyner works as a tantra massage specialist and spiritual healer, according to a recent interview with Vice.
Joyne’s massage practice has around 30 clients — or “goddesses” as the 54-year-old describes them – and charges around $350 a session which helps his “goddesses” release energy and balance their chakras.
He even admitted that both jobs share a specific similarity – how to handle the heat.

The meteoric rise of electronic music over the past several years has largely run parallel to the proliferation of music streaming services – of which Spotify reigns supreme. The ink has now dried on an agreement with NYC tech firm Dubset that will further ingrain the brand into electronic music culture by expanding its platform to enable users to legally upload and stream DJ mixes.
Dubset Media Holdings developed two major technologies for the electronic music market last spring: the MixBANK Content Registry & Platform, which allows music creators and distributors to upload their releases onto an online database, and MixSCAN, a proprietary technology which allows them to monitor each one’s usage across different platforms. Being that Spotify is the largest music streaming service on the market, the deal will provide incentive for artists, managers and record labels to invest in Dubset’s services.

If you ever needed proof that competitors can be unlikely bedfellows -- and that all of the streaming services are, er, paddling their way through the same stream -- you'd have gotten it at Wednesday's "Man vs Machine: The Curation Dilemma" panel at SXSW, which found representatives from Beats Music, Pandora, Rdio, Google Play and Tastemaker X having a very friendly conversation about the song-selection process for each of their services -- often agreeing with each other about everything from best practices to how users listen to music. That doesn't mean the panel was dull, though: moderator Stephen White of Gracenote kept

This is an intriguing move for Tribune, and a black eye for Sony as it seeks savings and cost cuts. It paid $260M for Gracenote in 2008 and says today that it expects the sale to add $60M to its operating income. The firm specializes in metadata — the kind of information that enables other services including Apple’s iTunes, Rhapsody, Spotify, and Xbox Music to recognize what song or TV show is playing. That could become important as viewers increasingly use smartphones and tablets while they watch TV. But Gracenote faces tough competition from services including Shazam. Tribune says that it will combine Gracenote with Tribune Media Services to create what it says will be one of the world’s largest entertainment metadata companies. With the transaction, Tms hopes to serve “new and exciting customers with better data, new products, and new services to help an evolving entertainment industry,” says Tribune Digital Centures President Shashi Seth.

Capping off our coverage of The Dandy’s 75th anniversary is an interview with former Dandy editor Morris Heggie. Heggie edited the comic between 1986 and 2006, his tenure covering my entire span as a Dandy reader. As I reveal early on, I was something of a comic addict as a child, and so the interview becomes very geeky, very quickly.
That said, when I managed to calm down a little, we covered the reasons for Heggie’s return to editing comics, the stigma attached to adults reading the Dandy, and the reasons DC Thomson have never released single character comics
Morris Heggie: Did you get both The Dandy and The Beano?
HeyUGuys: I did. And the Beezer, and the Topper, and then the Beezer & Topper. I was a complete fiend.
You would be a Tom Patterson fan?
He did Calamity James?

Rachel Kneebone: Regarding Rodin Brooklyn Museum Through August 12, 2012
Vitruvius, in The Ten Books on Architecture, proposed that the perfected form of the human body could be diagrammed by being placed inside both a circle and a square. Though he himself did not provide illustrations, Leonardo da Vinci made a drawing demonstrating this proposition to illustrate Paciolio's On Divine Proportion (1509). This was more than a geometric exercise, as Vitruvius imbued the square and the circle with divine attributes: the circle represented the cosmos and the square, those things secular. In the Middle Ages, artists painted the crucifixion both as a representation of Christ's divinity as well as his incarnation as an earthly being. Five hundred years later, August Rodin upended many of these concepts regarding the proportion and deportment of the figure in sculpture with his monumental The Gates of Hell and Monument to Balzac.

Fans of hard-boiled detective novels – and the movies they’re made into – worship at the altar of Raymond Chandler (The Long Goodbye, The Big Sleep) and Dashiell Hammett (The Maltese Falcon, The Thin Man), but unless you’re seriously into noir, the name Ross MacDonald is often skipped. MacDonald wrote a series of highly praised private eye yarns featuring a SoCal detective named Lew Archer.
Two of Archer’s eight adventures were filmed (with Archer’s name changed to Lew Harper, for whatever reason) as Harper in 1966 and The Drowning Pool in 1975, both starring Paul Newman as the gumshoe. Now, Deadline reports that The Matrix and Sherlock Holmes super-producer Joel Silver is reviving the series with Warner Bros., staring with the eighth novel of the series, The Galton Case.

A fan who stole Johnny Marr's guitar a decade ago has apologised after it was returned to the former Smiths musician. Stephen White, a 38-year-old carer, took the 1964 Cherry Red Gibson Sg guitar after a gig at the Kings Cross Scala by Johnny Marr and The Healers in 2000, Islington Tribune reports. Police recovered the guitar after getting a tip-off from a member of the public. It was reportedly found at White's Enfield home with a ticket from the show attached to it. White told Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court: "I'm disgusted with the whole thing. There's a victim here. I can't reconcile myself with the behaviour of that night." He admitted that he had played the instrument and had once taken (more)...

He stands accused of murdering his third wife, and is a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth. But through much of the allegations dating to 2004, ex-cop Drew Peterson has simply fanned the interest with his cocky confidence and attention-embracing behavior worthy of a red-carpet celebrity. His kids - including two apiece with each of his wives in the twin mysteries - issued a statement of support when Peterson, now 56, was arrested in May ‘09 and pleaded not guilty to killing Kathleen Savio, 40, whose bathtub drowning was staged to look like an accident, according to Illinois prosecutors. He had replaced the...

Stephen White worked as a psychologist before becoming a mystery and thriller author, and it shows in his work. He’s always trying to draw psychologically rounded characters who become grist for the mill of the more typical elements of his chosen genres. Sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn’t, but it almost kills his latest novel, The Siege, before making it oddly rewarding. White’s devotion to character development is welcome in this genre, but he sometimes indulges in too much of a good thing. For the book’s first hundred pages or so, White spends his time ...
