In honor of The Snowman, here are five other terrifying (and true) cold-climate murders and the movies they inspired.

If you look closer, you can see Russell’s teeny tiny personal hairdresser sitting on his shoulder.

Got $1.3 million in golden galleons burning a hole in your pocket?

The only thing worse than evil clowns in the things-that-kids-are-supposed-to-like-but-are-actually-terrified-of genre is evil dolls, and the Child’s Play series pretty much has that one on lock. A few months ago we got our first look at the latest installment, Cult of Chucky, which promises even more scares from that orange-haired, rosy-cheeked bringer of terror. The good news is: you can stream it on Netflix next month.

Hey Croods… you’re coming back…Universalllll has revived your sequel…. Yes, that’s right folks, DreamWorks and Universal’s animated caveman family is getting another movie after all, as Universal has officially revived The Croods 2 and given it a September 2020 release date.

American adaptations of successful foreign films will never go out of style (though it’s always a crapshoot as to whether they’ll actually be any good or not). German Oscar contender Toni Erdmann is getting an American remake, courtesy of Kristen Wiig and Jack Nicholson, and now A Man Called Ove, the bestselling Swedish book adapted last year by Hannes Holm (and nominated for two Academy Awards), is getting remade courtesy of one Tom Hanks.

We all love The Great British Bake-Off (or, as it’s referred to in the States, The Great British Baking Show), and considering the competition show’s massive popularity even amongst people who can’t boil water without catching something on fire, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood came up with a mockumentary version. Enter Cook Off!

There’s a lot more action coming i this Wednesday’s new trailer for Jumanji, and The Rock has done us all a favor of posting a teaser with all the best bits. Motorcycles! Piggyback rides! A giant hippopotamus! Jack Black saying “I can’t even”!

Move over, Ghostbusters and Ocean’s 11, there’s a new all-female reboot in town to ruin everyone’s childhoods! Warner Bros. has greenlit an all-gal Lord of the Flies adaptation from writers Scott McGehee and David Siegel that’ll make you never want to go on a camping trip with your buddies ever again.

Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder are kind of the alt version of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet: you know they’re not together, but they’ve appeared as co-stars often enough that you kinda ship them, just a little bit. If that’s you, good news: Reeves and Ryder, last seen together in Richard Linklater’s A Scanner Darkly, are reuniting once again for romantic comedy Destination Wedding.

It’s comic legend Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday today, and the whole Marvel world is celebrating. While on set filming the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp, Evangeline Lilly, who plays Hope van Dyne a.k.a. the Wasp, posted an extremely cool photo of herself all dressed up in her Wasp suit, and she looks awesome.

The Steven Spielberg-produced Intelligent Life has had a bit of a bumpy start getting out the gate — it was previously set to be directed by Ava DuVernay with Lupita Nyong’o starring, but both of them jumped ship when DuVernay decided to focus on her Wrinkle in Time adaptation. But now it looks like the project is back on track after a rewrite from Jay Roach and a new hire: Stranger Things director Rebecca Thomas.
