It Follows: Saturday, The Horror Channel @ 9pm
Jay finds herself being followed by something odd after she spends the night with her boyfriend. To say anymore would ruin an unsettling and original horror film that takes a ridiculous premise and turns it into a suspense packed story that s darkly funny and flat out terrifying in places. Director David Robert Mitchell is obviously a John Carpenter fan too but that s no bad thing. Maika Monroe as Jay is a mighty lead.

Lindell also won the title of Worst Actor for portraying himself in his conspiratorial documentary that argued the 2020 election was rigged and flipped against Donald Trump.

Astoria School District and contractor Skanska jointly announced the completion of new construction and modernization at John Jacob Astor Elementary in Astoria. The school’s exterior served as the backdrop of the well-known and beloved 1990 action comedy film, ‘Kindergarten Cop,’ which starred Arnold Schwarzeneggar.
“The expansion and modernization of Astor Elementary are now complete with our particular focus on preserving the history of the school,” said Astoria School District Superintendent Craig Hoppes. “In its new design, we’ve made way for a flexible multipurpose area and new classrooms as well as upgraded safety and security for current and future students. It’s been exciting to watch the rapid construction happen and to work with partners who are as budget-conscious as we are.”
