A Hauntingly Fun Plot
eVil Sublet tells the story of a young couple who find their dream apartment in New York City’s East Village, also known as “the eVil.” The allure of a cheap rent outweighs their concerns about the apartment being haunted—after all, who wouldn’t want a cozy pad in one of New York’s trendiest neighborhoods? However, their excitement quickly turns to horror when they discover that the ghosts inhabiting their new home have a sinister agenda: they’re looking for more human lives to claim.
The film features viral video sensation Jennifer Leigh Houston alongside the legendary Sally Struthers, who makes her horror film debut. Struthers captures the audience’s attention with her charming yet eerie presence, stating, “I’d rather be part of the scaring than be scared.” With a blend of humor and horror, eVil Sublet showcases the lengths one will go to in order to secure an affordable home in a city long plagued by an unsolvable housing crisis.
A Personal Connection
Interestingly, the filmmakers were inspired by their own experiences while creating eVil Sublet. Piper shot the film in the very apartment he shared with Houston, where strange happenings were not just part of the plot but an unsettling reality. “Our apartment really was haunted,” Houston recalls. “Doors would fly open or slam shut on their own. Sometimes a cold hand would touch me in the dark.” These eerie experiences provide a fascinating backdrop to the film, heightening its authenticity and suspense.
Critical Acclaim and Festival Success
Since its premiere at the Coney Island Film Festival, eVil Sublet has garnered accolades and acclaim, including Best Feature and Top Feature Film at various festivals. Sean Struthers’ debut in the horror realm, combined with Houston’s mesmerizing performance, won her the Best Actress in a Feature award at the HorrOrigins Film Fest, showcasing the film’s talent and potential.
Jerome Courshon, CEO of Lion Heart Distribution, enthuses about the film, emphasizing its appeal to both horror enthusiasts and general audiences: “The filmmaking team behind this exceptional movie has crafted a terrific horror/comedy, sure to satisfy genre fans.”
The Hidden Ghosts of eVil Sublet
One quirky aspect of the film is its incorporation of ghostly faces contributed by supporters, who had their likenesses turned into ghosts peppered throughout the apartment. With over 200 hidden ghostified faces, audiences will have fun trying to spot them while navigating the film’s scares. “People will jump in the middle of a scene when they suddenly realize there’s been a face peering out of the shadows the whole time,” Piper teases.
Join the Fun This Halloween
As Halloween approaches, don’t miss your chance to cozy up with friends and enjoy the frightful laughter that eVil Sublet promises to deliver. The film will be available on platforms like Amazon, Fandango at Home, and various cable systems.

Six Flags Magic Mountain Unveils Record-Setting ‘Thrill Glider’ Coaster for 2027
Six Flags Magic Mountain is taking flight in 2027 with Thrill Glider, a first-of-its-kind coaster combining flying, motorbike and suspended ride technology with multiple launches, five inversions and speeds up to 50 mph.
Last Updated on September 27, 2026 by Daily News Staff
VALENCIA, Calif. — Six Flags Magic Mountain is preparing to add another major attraction to its coaster lineup with Thrill Glider, a first-of-its-kind roller coaster scheduled to open in 2027.
The Southern California theme park announced Sept. 10 that the new attraction will combine elements of flying, motorbike and suspended roller coasters to create what the park is calling an entirely new category: the “Thrillglider.”
Developed by coaster manufacturer Vekoma, Thrill Glider will place riders aboard specially designed “hovercycles.” Instead of sitting upright, riders will be positioned face-forward and prone beneath the track, creating the sensation of flying through the terrain.
The approximately 80-second ride will feature multiple launches reaching speeds of 50 mph, along with 12 airtime moments, five inversions and 20 track elements spread across nearly 3.5 acres. Onboard audio and lighting effects will add to the experience.
A Record-Setting New Coaster
According to Six Flags, Thrill Glider will stretch 3,380 feet — more than half a mile — and reach a maximum height of 107 feet. The company says the attraction will establish several records within the newly created Thrillglider category, including world’s longest, fastest and tallest Thrillglider.
The ride will also feature an elaborate science-fiction storyline centered on the fictional QuantumPulse Propulsion Systems and its discovery of an energy source called PSR B417. Guests will encounter futuristic displays, holographic presentations and other themed elements before boarding their hovercycles.
“Thrill Glider is more than a new attraction. It is the latest milestone in Six Flags Magic Mountain’s renaissance and a reflection of the park’s enduring role as an industry innovator,” park president Brian Oerding said in the announcement.
Where Will Thrill Glider Be Located?
Thrill Glider will occupy the former Golden Bear Theatre site, positioned between Full Throttle and LEX LUTHOR: Drop of Doom and next to the recently reimagined Looney Tunes Land.
Construction is already underway, with Six Flags planning to open the attraction sometime in 2027. A specific opening date has not yet been announced. The minimum rider height will be 48 inches.
The addition continues Magic Mountain’s long-running emphasis on ambitious roller coasters and introduces a substantially different ride experience: part flying coaster, part launched coaster and part futuristic motorcycle adventure.

Mattel Adventure Park and VAI Resort: What’s the Latest in Glendale?
Mattel Adventure Park and VAI Resort still have no announced opening date. VAI says construction continues and expects to share more about the park in late 2026.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The wait continues for Mattel Adventure Park and VAI Resort near State Farm Stadium. Both remain under development, and neither has announced an opening date.
There has, however, been a change in how the park is being described. In August, Axios Phoenix reported that Epic Resort Destinations, the park’s original developer, appears to be out of the Glendale project. Asked about Epic’s involvement, a VAI spokesperson told Axios that VAI is the park’s owner and operator, but did not directly answer whether Epic still has any role. Another VAI spokesperson said the park and resort are now considered part of the same project and that construction continues on both.
VAI also told Axios it is redefining the park’s guest experience and creative vision and expects to share more in the fourth quarter of 2026. That is a promise of a project update, not an opening announcement.
The VAI Resort FAQ currently says it will announce an opening date approximately nine months in advance. Mattel Adventure Park’s Glendale page continues to promote planned attractions, including the Barbie Beach House and two Hot Wheels roller coasters, without listing an opening date.
For families hoping to visit, the practical answer is that there is still no date to put on the calendar. The next meaningful development to watch is VAI’s promised fourth-quarter update: it may clarify the park’s plans, but visitors will need an official opening announcement before they can plan a trip.

Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show Starring Bad Bunny Wins 7 Emmys, Sets New Record
Executive produced by Roc Nation and JAY-Z, the show becomes the most-awarded halftime production in Emmy history.
The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show starring Bad Bunny took home seven Emmy Awards at the 78th Emmy Awards, making it the most-awarded Super Bowl halftime show in Emmy history, according to Roc Nation. The live spectacle—executive produced by Roc Nation and JAY-Z—won across major production categories, underscoring how the halftime stage has evolved into a full-scale, awards-caliber live television event.
The record-setting wins included Outstanding Variety Special (Live), Outstanding Music Direction, Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special, Outstanding Choreography for Variety or Reality Programming, Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Variety Series or Special, Outstanding Lighting Design/Lighting Direction for a Special, and Outstanding Technical Direction and Camerawork for a Special. Roc Nation also noted the show set a global viewership record, pulling 4.157 billion views in 24 hours across global broadcast, YouTube, and social platforms.
Beyond the trophies and viewership numbers, the halftime show leaned into big-name star power with special guest performers Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, plus additional appearances from Karol G, Cardi B, Jessica Alba, Pedro Pascal, Young Miko, and others. The sweep signals not just a win for the artists on stage, but for the behind-the-scenes creative teams turning the halftime show into one of the most technically ambitious live productions on television.
What to watch for: With Emmy recognition now firmly in the conversation, expect future halftime shows to push even harder on cinematic staging, choreography, and broadcast innovation—because the bar (and the awards) just got higher.
