American Horror Story: Apocalypse Will Continue Season 1’s Story

Remember the very end of American Horror Story's first season - the Murder House arc? Connie Britton's Vivien died while giving birth to an Antichrist baby, leaving the young boy to be raised by Jessica Lange's Constance.

Well, that will all get paid off in full this fall when the Ryan Murphy horror anthology returns with American Horror Story: Apocalypse.

Check out the key art released today, clearly indicating an Antichrist-like demon child...

The news came at Marvel's Retailer Appreciation Luncheon, as Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski and SVP David Gabriel welcomed the newly Marvel-exclusive Cates to the stage. Cates will serve as "showrunner" for the new line, in a role that sounds similar to Gerard Way's handling of DC's Young Animal imprint. Cates will be supervising new titles from several creative teams, with Matthew Rosenberg, Tini Howard and Vita Ayala confirmed to be involved.

Fear the Walking Dead: New Cast Members Added

Fear the Walking Dead: Season 4 will return on August 12, and with it comes a host of new cast members.

Aaron Stanford (12 Monkeys), Mo Collins (Parks and Recreation), Stephen Henderson (Lady Bird), and more are joining the show as it heads into Season 4B. The new trailer for the season teased a walker hurricane haunting the show's ensemble this time out.

During the AMC series' San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel, a fan asked whether the show might see more crossovers from The Walking Dead following Lennie James' jump from one show to another. While none were confirmed, executive producer Scott M. Gimple's evasive answer certainly didn't rule out the possibility.

"It’s a shared universe, so it's possible. I would never tell you at this moment, but I really want to," Gimple said.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – What to Expect from the New Season

Thursday, July 20 will be a day long remembered for Star Wars fans. At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, during the tenth anniversary Clone Wars panel, producer Dave Filoni calmly told a room full of breathless fans that he had a present. As the lights dimmed, those in the room became cautiously enraptured as we were treated to the voice of Captain Rex (voiced by Dee Bradley-Baker), and suddenly the hashtag appeared… #CloneWarsSaved! The atmosphere was electric, and fans roared with excitement, tears, and unabashed jubilation as the all new trailer debuted.

The twelve-episode season will presumably pick up where the series ended in March of 2014, and will run on the upcoming Disney streaming service. And for fans of the Emmy-award winning show, who have lamented its cancelation for years, there is cause for speculation in addition to celebration. What are we going to see?

The rise of internet-connected “smart home” devices has made it easier than ever to keep an eye on your home while you're out and about. Whether you’re keeping an eye on your cats from work, or checking for burglars while you're out for the night, a Wi-Fi enabled security camera is an affordable way to keep an eye on your crib.

For this list I’ll be focusing on plug-and-play, cloud-connected security cameras. There are other types of security systems out there—like Ethernet-connected CCTV cameras—but putting together a CCTV system is more complex, especially since you’ll be mixing and matching cameras with DVR units, across a wide range of budgets (from the super cheap EZVIZ systems to the more expensive Hikvision cameras). They’re great if you want to wire up and manage your own system rather than relying on someone else’s "cloud," but for the sake of this guide, I’m going to keep it simple since most people just want a few cameras for their house or apartment.
