Horror Hit ‘Sinners' Coming To Streaming On Max This Week
Michael B Jordan plays twins in "Sinners." Sinners — Ryan Coogler's hit vampire thriller starring Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld — is coming soon to streaming on Max. Written and directed by Coogler, Sinners stars the filmmaker's Black Panther and Creed collaborator Jordan as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who return home to Mississippi in 1932 after serving in World War I and working for the mob in Chicago. The logline for Sinners reads, 'Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.' Sinners also stars Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wumni Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller and Delroy Lindo. Sinners opened in theaters on April 18 and made its debut on digital streaming via premium video on demand on June 3. According to Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, Sinners will debut on the company's streaming service Max on Friday, July 4. Max — which will soon revert to its original name HBO Max — has three streaming tiers available. Viewers can subscribe to an an ad-based tier for $9.99 per month, an ad-free tier for $16.99 per month or an ad-free tier with 4K Ultra HD Programming for $20.99 per month. Michael B. Jordan Had One Big Reservation About Being In A Vampire Movie Naturally, a movie with vampires is going to require fake fangs and blood, and as it turns out, Michael B. Jordan was not a fan of one of them while making Sinners. "I liked the fangs. Fangs were dope. The blood was a bit messy and uncomfortable at times. The blood was a lot," Jordan, sitting alongside Ryan Coogler, told People in an April interview. Coogler then shed a bit more light on Jordan's disdain for fake blood for People, adding, "I got called into a meeting a few weeks in by my producer and my wife Zinzi Coogler, and she was like, 'Hey, we gotta talk about Mike.' I'm like, 'What? What's going on?' And she's like, 'The blood — he doesn't like it.' I'm like, 'Wait, what?'" Jordan then brought a little more clarity to the situation. "First of all, there's a difference between complaining and venting,' Jordan told People, laughing. 'I was just more venting, you know what I'm saying? But they care about me, so they had a meeting. I appreciate the meeting." Sinners continues to be a monster hit in theaters, earning $277.6 million domestically and $86.6 million in international ticket sales for a worldwide box office tally of $363.8 million to date. Sinners had a $90 million production budget before prints and advertising, The Numbers reported. The film also earned a 97% 'fresh' rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics, who gave the film 375 reviews. In addition, Sinners earned a 96% 'fresh' score on RT's Popcornmeter based on 25,000-plus verified user ratings. Sinners arrives on Max on Friday, July 4.

Aussies issued terrifying warning about this cemetery - and why you should think twice about visiting it
An Aussie has lifted the lid on the terrifying folklore surrounding a cemetery, with other visitors claiming to have had chilling encounters with the supernatural. Marcus Sutherland, who is known to his followers as OzCamper, shared the haunting rumour circulating about Toowong Cemetery, in Brisbane 's CBD. He explained in a TikTok video that it was believed a 19th-century vampire had been buried in the grounds and been perfectly preserved in her coffin. Social media users shared their own experiences, with some claiming to have seen mysterious figures walking throughout the night. Mr Sutherland explained the Toowong Vampire Grave was a folktale that had been haunting locals for decades. According to the story, a beautiful vampire is said to wander the headstones along Avenue 12 within the cemetery grounds. Mr Sutherland recounted an unsettling version of the legend in which the woman's grave was dug up. 'Apparently there was a figure in this coffin when they opened it up,' he said. 'She had been there for years and years. She had not decayed whatsoever.' He added that when someone reached out to touch her, the vampire suddenly opened her eyes and stared straight at the man. 'When she smiled, blood came out of her mouth,' Mr Sutherland said. Despite the hair-raising tale, Mr Sutherland conceded that it is only folklore. 'There is no evidence to back this up,' he noted. Another tale is about Walter Thomas Porriott, one of the cemetery's residents, who was rumoured to be Jack the Ripper, the London serial killer who murdered five women in 1888. Perhaps the most famous of all is the legend of Spook Hill, a spot within the cemetery grounds said to defy the laws of gravity. The area is near the graves of two young women who tragically died in a car accident. Local lore claims that if you park your vehicle in neutral at the base of the hill, it will slowly roll uphill, drawn by an unseen force toward their final resting place. The Museum of Brisbane has acknowledged the myths, noting that the cemetery's 'wild and wonderful tales have been a fixture of slumber party gossip for years.' A number of people came forward to share their own eerie experiences at Toowong Cemetery, with some saying they were so spooked they'll never return. 'Toowong Cemetery is eerie as hell. I have been there at night, it's a scary place,' one person wrote. Another added, 'When I was told the story of the vampire while at the cemetery, I saw a shadow.' Someone else said they had witnessed the 'Spook Hill' phenomenon. 'We used to go to the cemetery as teens. There is a place you can drive and put your vehicle in neutral, and it will roll up the hill. It is the freakiest feeling.' Others spoke about chilling moments during one of the cemetery's guided ghost tours, which are offered by local haunted tourism companies. 'I went on a tour a few years ago, walked a bit down the path by myself (at night), and could hear footsteps directly behind me. I started recording behind me to make sure it wasn't a person,' one person shared. Officially opened in 1875, the cemetery is now heritage-listed and closed to new burials. It remains the final resting place of many prominent colonial-era figures and, according to urban legends, a number of restless spirits.
