Initial Nielsen ratings for FX’s Sept. 7 debut of “Impeachment: American Crime Story” dropped significantly from earlier premieres of Ryan Murphy’s “American Crime Story” anthology five and three years ago, respectively.
According to Nielsen Live+Same Day ratings, the “Impeachment” launch drew 916,000 viewers and a rating of 0.24 in the key adults 18-49 demographic.
The series failed to come close to the record-setting numbers achieved by the first season of the show “The People v. O.J. Simpson” in 2016 and the respectable premiere scores of “The Assassination of Gianni Versace” in 2018. The former garnered over 5 million viewers and a rating of 2.0 in the key demo, while the second obtained 2.22 million viewers and a 0.72 rating in the key demo. Both previous debuts topped all other cable telecasts the night they aired, while “Impeachment” was in the fourth slot.
In fairness to “Impeachment,” the media landscape has changed significantly even from the...

Crazy has always tapped a main vein in horror films; if it didn’t we would be stuck watching films of people being pranked or wronged, who laugh it off and become dentists instead (with all due respect to Corbin Bernsen). Now, of particular interest to me is when the sins of the flesh meet that fracture of the mind; where the lascivious and the lurid tangle in sweaty, blood stained sheets. And 1982 coughed up a doozy (in character and content) with Night Warning, a tale of a very protective aunt who doesn’t want to see her nephew leave the nest.
Also known as Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (a cool title, but neither relate to the story at all), Night Warning was distributed by Comworld Pictures in early ’82 (but didn’t go wide until early ’83) and garnered some good reviews while passing by audiences. Why? Because it was just...

Directed By: William Asher
Written By: Stephen Breimer, Boon Collins, & Alan Jay Glueckman
Starring: Susan Tyrrell (Aunt Cheryl), Bo Svenson (Detective Joe Carlson), Jimmy McNichol (Billy Lynch), William Paxton (Eddie), Marcia Lewis (Margie), Julia Duffy (Julia), Steve Eastin (Coach Landers), Britt Leach (Sgt. Cook), Caskey Swaim (Phil Brody), Cooper Neal (Frank), Gary Baxley (Bill Lynch Sr.) , Kay Kimler (Anna Lynch).
I came across this movie looking for rare horror films in the 80s. “Night Warning” has all the components of a solid psychological horror thriller movie yet it is virtually unknown today, which is surprising. I suspect it isn’t as well known due to the fact that it isn’t a slasher in the traditional sense. To add to its unknown nature, the movie has never seen another release beyond Thorn Emi video release in the mid 1980s. There has been speculation of...

Marcia Lewis, a Tony Award nominee for her performances in the Broadway revivals of "Grease" and "Chicago," died in the early hours of Dec. 21. She was 72. Though the cause of death has not been revealed, she was suffering from lung and brain cancer.Lewis won acclaim for her salty and sly interpretations of the nasty high school teacher Miss Lynch in the 1994 revival of "Grease" and the manipulative prison matron Mama Morton in the 1996 revival of "Chicago." She also toured in the latter production, in which she routinely stopped the show with her brassy delivery of "When You're Good to Mama" and "Class," the latter a duet between her character and Velma Kelly, the foul-mouthed murderess first played in the revival by Bebe Neuwirth.Her additional Broadway credits include "Hello, Dolly!," playing opposite both Phyllis Diller and Ethel Merman; "Annie" "Rags," for which she received a Drama Desk Award nomination...
