For horror fans, this is basically summer camp but with more screaming: Florida’s biggest horror-film festival, Popcorn Frights, starts tomorrow in Fort Lauderdale. The lineup includes the new Ewan McGregor-Anne Hathaway thriller The End of Oak Street (which has a cool 80s vibe to it, think ET & Goonies). Plus, a locally made comedy called Horror Insurance, shot in Sunrise for just 95 dollars! Might be a fun date night, if your idea of romance is gripping somebody’s arm for two hours.

Believe! Ted Lasso, Season 4 starts streaming today on Apple TV. (My favorite Lasso-ism: “Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse...if you’re comfortable, you’re probably doing it wrong.”)

You like coasters? A Six Flags theme park in New Jersey unveiled plans to build a new roller coaster that will break six world records... (1) fastest spinning coaster, (2) fastest inversion, (3) first upside down launch, (4) longest stall inversion, (5) tallest spinning coaster, and (6) first floorless spinning coaster. I don’t know if there’s a world record for getting sickest on an amusement park ride, but I bet I could break that one, too!
