I can hear the groans. The usual suspects whining about remakes, reboots, legacy sequels, requels, whatever you want to call them. But there's a light at the end of that tunnel. When you take a classic horror movie like the original Street Trash and you get a filmmaker who "gets it" like Ryan
Going into Hysteria! I was worried that it would end up like many other media regarding its depiction of heavy metal in the '80s. Yes, there were albums called The Number of the Beast, bands took advantage of the fact that the devil is scary to sell records, and people were scared of the unknown.

What is Teacup? That question is easily answered and not so easily answered. The short answer is that it is an adaptation of the book Stinger by Robert McCammon. The long answer is much more complicated and actively changes the pace and scope of the original novel. Series creator and showrunner Ian
