Netflix doesn’t have the deepest horror library (unless true crime counts), but it has an unusually high number of movies available right now with direct links to current, recent, or much-anticipated releases. Expand your enjoyment of these busy stars, writers, and directors by streaming some of their past work too. Talk to Me Brothers Danny and Michael Philippou have Bring Her Back hitting theaters May 30, so there’s no better time to revisit Talk to Me, their breakout debut about a supremely ill-advised party game involving demonic possession. If you watch it tonight, you might be able to sleep through the night again before the unsettling-looking Bring Her Back refreshes your nightmare cache. Cam With Madeline Brewer back on Hulu starring in the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale, remind yourself of her range even beyond the capricious, danger-prone Janine with this quirky horror mystery. In Cam, Brewer plays a webcam model who’s startled to see herself, or someone who looks exactly like her, has hijacked her stream—and understandably becomes obsessed with finding out what’s happening. His House Did you catch Wunmi Mosaku’s stunning performance in Sinners and wonder what else she’s been up to besides sidekick roles in Marvel projects? If you have Max, you can see another stunning Mosaku performance in Lovecraft Country—but since this is a Netflix list, she’s also fantastic in 2020’s His House, playing a refugee from South Sudan who finds the horrors of her homeland have followed her and her husband to their new London home. I Know What You Did Last Summer You probably won’t have to be familiar with the finer points of 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer to enjoy the upcoming reboot, but it’s a fun slasher no matter the occasion. And it couldn’t be more of a 1990s time capsule, riding the coattails of Scream‘s slasher success and starring some of the era’s hottest stars, including Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr.—both of whom are returning for the new film (out July 18). Mr. Harrigan’s Phone With the not-horror The Life of Chuck arriving June 6 from director Mike Flanagan, open up your Stephen King field of vision with the 2022 yes-horror film adapted from the same book of stories: Mr. Harrigan’s Phone. Both Chuck and Phone come from If It Bleeds, a four-story collection that hit shelves in 2020. Now we just need someone to adapt the title story (which features recurring King character Holly Gibney, played by Cynthia Erivo in the late, great HBO series The Outsider) and “Rat,” a creature tale which sounds like the most classic King yarn of the bunch. Little Evil Adam Scott became a ubiquitous media obsession thanks to the recently concluded Severance season two, but in 2017 he starred in this supernatural comedy that riffs on The Omen. At the time, horror fans were like “Ooh, it’s from the director of Tucker & Dale vs. Evil,” which is still true—but Eli Craig, who gifted the world with that 2010 cult classic, has another movie dropping very soon: Clown in a Cornfield (it’s out May 9). If you’ve only watched Tucker & Dale, Little Evil (which also has a clown in it) is well worth a spin. Want more io9 news?

Text description provided by the architects. This project involves the reconstruction of a community-based facility designed to share knowledge about household affairs and children's education. Located in the suburbs of Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, the new building accommodates a broad range of users, from infants to seniors, fostering a space for diverse activities aimed at improving family life.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!A large gabled roof defines the building's presence, giving it the familiar appearance of a "big house." Beneath this unifying form, spaces are arranged around a central lobby, ensuring seamless movement and flexible use. The layout supports both intimate gatherings and larger events, fostering a sense of community while maintaining a human-scaled atmosphere.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The roof incorporates high-side windows by lifting parts of the gable structure, introducing natural light and enhancing ventilation. Positioned in response to prevailing wind patterns, these openings allow gentle airflow while casting shifting patterns of light throughout the day. Deep eaves extend to the south and west, forming semi-sheltered outdoor spaces that blur the boundary between inside and outside. These spaces function both as open extensions of the interior and as more enclosed, comfortably scaled areas that encourage interaction.Save this picture!The structural system features a dense beam layout with knee braces, minimizing the need for long-span timber and allowing the use of standard materials. This rhythmic framework subtly defines spatial units beneath the overarching roof, visually breaking down its scale while maintaining a cohesive whole. The repetition of beams and braces creates a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, altering perceptions of space depending on the viewing angle. By balancing clear structural logic with spatial richness, the design creates an adaptable, engaging environment that supports everyday activities and fosters connections among users.Save this picture!

When you meet a stranger for the first time, how do you judge your potential to be friends? Is it their personality? Their style? Their smile? According to a new study in Scientific Reports, scent might have something to do with it, as smell preferences can predict whether people see each other as potential friends. “People take a lot in when they’re meeting face to face. But scent — which people are registering at some level, though probably not consciously — forecasts whether you end up liking this person,” said Vivian Zayas, a study author and a professor of psychology at Cornell University, according to a press release. Read More: People Are Drawn To Others With Similar Body OdorFinding Friends Through Social OlfactionMany researchers have studied what happens in our minds — and in our olfactory systems — when we meet strangers. But this work is far from finished, as there’s still a lot that we don’t know about the role of olfaction in shaping our social interactions.For instance, while many scientists have studied how olfactory cues inform our interpersonal judgements in romantic situations, few have looked at how they influence us in platonic scenarios. Moreover, while the majority of social olfactory studies have concentrated on our “natural odors,” only a few have focused on “diplomatic odors,” or the “signature scents” that are shaped by our daily choices (like our decisions to use certain fragrances and hygiene products).Hoping to address these gaps in the research, a team of Cornell University scientists set out to determine how diplomatic scents inform platonic interactions between strangers. Enlisting the help of 40 heterosexual participants, all of whom were women aged 18 to 30, the researchers revealed that the participants’ preferences for each other’s diplomatic scents predicted how much they liked each other after a series of short face-to-face interactions.Ultimately, the results improve our understanding of social olfaction, offering new insights into the impact of smell on our relationships.Social Sniff TestsTo arrive at their results, the researchers asked the participants to take part in a series of “speed-friending” interaction sessions, before and after which they evaluated the scents of the other participants by sniffing their previously worn t-shirts. After each of these steps — the first t-shirt smell test, the short face-to-face interaction sessions, and the second t-shirt smell test — the participants were asked to judge their friendship potential with the other participants, either based on the other participants’ scent or conversation.The team found that the judgements in the pre-interaction smell assessments predicted the judgements in the post-interaction conversation assessments, with participants tending to see the same people as potential friends.Adding complexity to olfaction’s impact on our friendships, the researchers also revealed that the participants’ perceptions of conversation quality predicted their perceptions of scent after the interaction, as participants’ post-interaction evaluations of each other’s conversation tended to forecast changes in their post-interaction evaluations of each other’s smells.According to the researchers, the participants’ preferences for particular people’s scents were also relatively individualistic, stable for one participant but unstable from one participant to another.“Everybody showed they had a consistent signature of what they liked,” Zayas said in the release. “And the consistency was not that, in the group, one person smelled really bad and one person smelled really good. No, it was idiosyncratic. I might like person A over B over C based on scent, and this pattern predicts who I end up liking in the chat.”Future research could add additional complexity to our understanding of social olfaction, as well as its role in our relationships. For now, though, it seems safe to say that finding friends may be more of an olfactory process than traditionally thought.

Right now, Walmart has Ninja-Shark vacuums and floor cleaners at clearance prices, with some more than half off their original price.
