The genre’s roots back to Mary Shelley, whom at the tender age of 20, unleashed Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus on an unsuspecting public in 1818, in essence, giving birth to modern horror and all that was to follow.

The loved-by-fans, hated-by-network show was smart, quick, and far ahead of its time comedically....

Joker is not a film for kids. It comes with an R-rating and fully indulges in its pass to include violence, foul language, and other strong material.
