Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.

For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.

He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.

His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan's work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

It has been a while since The Terror last haunted TV screens, but Ridley Scott’s horror anthology is finally coming back with a new story, a new setting, and a very different kind of nightmare. This time, the fear is being unleashed inside the walls of a psychiatric hospital, which is exactly the kind of premise that feels tailor-made for a franchise that has always liked trapping people in places where terror can quietly rot from the inside out. Isn't that nice and cheery?

And now that return has a date. AMC+ and Shudder will premiere The Terror: Devil in Silver on Thursday, May 7, with new episodes releasing weekly. The six-episode season will also air on AMC later this year. Scott remains one of the headline names behind the project as an executive producer, with Chris Cantwell and Victor LaValle serving as writers, showrunners, and executive producers. LaValle also wrote the novel the season is based on, while Karyn Kusama directs the first two episodes.

The new installment stars Dan Stevens as Pepper, a working-class moving man who ends up wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital after, as the official synopsis puts it, “a combination of bad luck and a bad temper.” The full synopsis states:

There, he must contend with patients working against him, doctors harboring grim secrets, and perhaps even the Devil himself. As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems, he finds that the only path to freedom is to face the entity which thrives on the suffering within New Hyde’s walls – but doing so may prove that the worst demons of all live inside him.
