"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was predicated on the idea of the cute blonde who usually dies at the beginning of horror movies finally having the power to fight back. She may have looked like just another flaxen-haired damsel in distress, but Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) didn't run from the demons in the alley: she annihilated them. In a narrative most commonly reserved for men, Buffy is the one girl in all the world who is capable of saving it.
I remember discovering "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and falling in love with a TV show for the very first time. It wasn't just about the clever dialogue, monstrous metaphors or unforgettable characters. One of the things that resonated with me the most was that the hero of "Buffy" was a teenage girl, just like me. Sure, she had to bear the weight of her unenviable destiny, but she also had to survive high school.

While Halloween is a holiday that most of us horror-loving adults have claimed as our own, that doesn’t mean we should overlook how much kids look forward to October 31st each year. That being said, I put together 10 different delicious recipes I’ve collected over the last year from Pinterest that your young ghouls and goblins will enjoy during October. Plus, if you’re throwing the little monsters a Halloween-themed party in the coming weeks, most of these ideas are super easy to do, and shouldn’t cost you a lot to make, either.
Candy Corn Hot Chocolate
Candy Corn might be a controversial treat amongst us older folks, but I know kids still love those sugary snacks, which is why I thought this Candy Corn Hot Chocolate (via The Magical Slow Cooker) would be a fun drink to serve at a party or after a long night of trick-or-treating.

A Virginia resident was bitten by a venomous snake inside a LongHorn Steakhouse before she even made it to her table.
Rachel Myrick and her family were heading into the foyer of the restaurant for dinner earlier this month when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her foot. “My left foot felt a bee sting, a hornet sting — something similar,” Myrick told Washington’s Top News. “So, I reached down to brush my foot off to keep walking.”
Once she did so, she was bitten a second time and immediately began screaming as she dropped her cellphone, wallet, and...

When Ben & Jerry’s announced their three new flavors earlier this week, we thought the ice cream company had reached peak deliciousness. How could they possibly create something tastier than pints filled with bourbon caramel swirls and chunks of oatmeal cookies? Well, they’ve done it: with brand-new Pint Slices.
While we’ve been known to cut our pints into slices before (it makes for an easier ice cream sandwich, and helps soften it for Baked Alaska), we’ve never been able to buy it this way—until now. Ben & Jerry’s new concoction consists of all the chunks, swirls,...

Andrew Zimmern is known for taking his fearless appetite across the globe on his Travel Channel show Bizarre Foods, but an average day of eating for him sounds pretty all-American.
“I’d love to tell you that I wake up and eat avocado toast and a small acai bowl or whatever, but I don’t,” Zimmern tells People. “I’m a protein guy in the morning. Give me some leftover pot roast from the night before slapped on a piece of white bread and I’m out the door with a cup of coffee.”

If you have ever planned a Super Bowl party and searched for “chicken wings” or “bean dip” recipes in Google, you are not alone.
On Monday, Google released their list of top-searched Super Bowl recipes by state (and Washington, D.C.)—and the results were a mixed bag of game-day classics and, well, some oddball dishes.
Several states had “buffalo” flavors (North Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin to name just a few) and “chili” (like Delaware and Missouri) on their menu. Game-day dips also topped the list of searches: Spinach-artichoke, bean, buffalo chicken, pico de gallo and even pepperoni dip (creative, South Carolina!

Can you imagine a Kit Kat with 40 percent less sugar? What if it’s on a molecular level?
Nestlé has announced that its researchers have found a way to alter the subatomic structure of natural sugar in such a way that it can use over a third less of the substance in its products without altering their taste. Basically, their work hollows out the structure of sugar crystals so that they dissolve more quickly, in effect fooling your tastebuds into thinking that they’re consuming more sweet stuff than they are.

If you don’t know who Mickey Keating is yet, you will. Soon. Independent horror fans have seen three of his films over the last year-and-a-half or so, and he’s already finished shooting another one primed for a 2016 festival premiere (maybe?). His latest film, Carnage Park, was my only Sundance 2016 review, but that didn’t stop me from properly catching it again during South By Southwest at Austin’s Alamo Ritz. C’mon, what goes better with a bloody, politically paranoid, Neo-Noir Western than a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Milkshake?!
Being a young critic at the age of 26 myself, our conversation was not solely about Carnage Park. As Keating was making his first film, Ritual, he participated in the same balancing act many writers now have to perfect between a salary job and nightly passions (oh, you think I can make a living doing this?). Cranking out movies isn’t exactly an achievement,...

Ben and Jerry's released their top-selling flavors of 2015 and, of course, Half-Baked came out at number one. According to Brand Eating, the half cookie dough, half brownie concoction has held the top spot for the past three years. Personally, we're a Chocolate Fudge Brownie person, which came in at number three. Cherry Garcia beat out our favorite which makes zero sense to us. What kind of person prefers cherries to chocolate!? Sure CG has fudge flakes and whatnot, but that is so not the same as biting into delicious baked brownie goodness, amiright? In an effort to understand what kind of human prefers Chunky Monkey to Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, we went through every flavor in order of their ranking and...

Channing Tatum conducted an Ama on Reddit this Wednesday, and he gave us so many hilarious quotes, we couldn't pick a favorite. Channing's promoting the hotly anticipated Magic Mike Xxl, which he recently vowed would make cinematic history. The Ama also comes fresh off his surprise appearance at La's Gay Pride Parade with Matt Bomer. We can't properly convey the sheer brilliance of all the quotes, so keep scrolling to see them for yourself. 1. His favorite sandwich is either really disgusting or totally amazing. "It's very complicated. Bread, white. Peanut butter, not crunchy, creamy. Grape jelly, double portion, more than you think should actually fit on a piece of white bread. Bread. And then some Cheetos shoved in there, and then you're good to go." 2. His penis totally has a nickname. "Gilbert." 3. He has a foolproof plan for the imminent zombie apocalypse. "Crossbow, straight up, and I'd want an army...
