Here at SFX, we love to shine a light on the work of creative people behind the scenes. This time it’s the turn of Netflix’s Addams Family show, as we learn about the work of production designer Mark Scruton, costume designers Colleen Atwood and Mark Sutherland, prosthetics designer Tristan Versluis, and visual effects supervisor Tom Turnbull.

It’s been over 13 years since the release of the last film based on the Japanese survival horror videogames. Return To Silent Hill takes us back into the rural ghost town; director/co-writer Christophe Gans teases what he calls a “mad love story”. 

David Lynch

It’s been almost a year since the visionary genius behind the likes of Eraserhead, Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet left us. We gather together six of his collaborators to share reminiscences: Twin Peaks: The Return executive producer Sabrina S Sutherland, plus actors Chrystabell, Lesley Dunlop, Richard Green, Michael Horse and Jake Wardle.

Cowabunga, dudes! The original 1990 live-action movie starring the heroes in a halfshell is part of a swanky new TMNT trilogy box set. To mark the occasion, we speak to director Kevin Eastman. 

And that’s not all, feature-wise! We also join the cast of Stranger Things as they get all choked up about the end of the series; speak to the director of We Bury The Dead, an indie zombie flick starring Star Wars’ Rey, Daisy Ridley; look back at the making of 1974 fantasy adventure The Land That Time Forgot in the company of director Kevin Connor; profile novelist AM Shine; and get Peter F Hamilton to answer our author questionnaire.
