In 2007, Frank Darabont brought Stephen King‘s novella The Mist to the big screen and created one of the most jaw-dropping horror films in memory. The story was simple enough: a mysterious mist engulfs a small Maine town. The townfolk flock to a supermarket as monsters begin devouring those left outside. The monsters from the mist end up producing monsters inside as the people quickly turn to fanaticism and violence on each other. The film’s ending is one of legends. I won’t spoil it, but those in my theater were left speechless and motionless throughout the entire credits. A decade later, Danish writer/director Christian Torpe brings the King work to the small screen for a ten-episode run on Spike TV. The Mist is the first of three major adaptations of King’s work coming this year with The Dark Tower due out in theaters in August and the remake of It in September.

Lip Sync Battle has become a television staple on Spike TV drawing celebrities into outrageous battles where they mouth the lyrics to hit songs while living out real life music videos. Based off the hilarious sketch on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, LSB has hosted top celebrities from Dwayne The Rock Johnson, to Channing Tatum, to Oscar winner Anne Hathaway doing a legendary turn on the wrecking ball for a Miley Cyrus cover. On May 25th, hosts LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen welcomed the cast of one of 2016’s biggest breakout hits, Netflix’s Stranger Things. Instead of a one on one showdown where each performer “sings” twice, this time it was a fatal 4-way featuring Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Noah Schnapp (Will Byers), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson) and Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair) each performing one lip sync hit. For fans of Stranger Things and Lip Sync Battle, this was as entertaining an episode of TV you can get.

Check out some of the performances below.

A couple of years back we found out that a TV series based on the Stephen King story The Mist was being developed.

The show is now set to arrive in just a couple of months, and the first trailer has been released online. You can find more info and watch the trailer below.

Clark Gregg and Hayley Atwell brought their legendary rivalry to the Lip Sync Battle stage last night. The pair were last pitted against each other during the infamous Dubsmash Wars for charity back in October, with Atwell’s Agent Carter team the winner, raising $79,818 for “Stomp Out Bullying.” The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. team may have lost the contest, but won at life raising $75,410 for St Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The pair outdid themselves. Watch how Agent Coulson and Agent Carter wowed Chrissy Teigen, LL Cool J, and us.

Last night’s Lip Sync Battle had 2 comedy kids, beautiful Kaley Cuoco from The Big Bang Theory, and Josh Gad (The Book of Mormon, Frozen), who is always hilarious to me. This episode was great. LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen have the best jobs ever.
