‘Urban Legend’ Has ’90s Nostalgia and Folklore Frights Worth Revisiting

Scream arrived in 1996, revitalizing slasher movies and ushering in a rush of imitators—much like Halloween and Friday the 13th did during the genre’s first wave in the late 1970s and early ‘80s. Now we’re in a third wave, with Scream’s successful return and the recent releases of brand-new movies in the late ‘90s-early 2000s I Know What You Did Last Summer and Final Destination series.

In his introductory essay for the inaugural issue of Lapham’s Quarterly, Lewis wrote (as he often had before) about his “risk-assessment model wired to the sound of the human voice.” If he read a piece without being able to hear its author speak—from whatever time, place, genre, species, leaning, or dimension—it wasn’t much of anything to him at all.

The U.S. Could Lose a Crucial Futuristic Telescope to Spain if Trump’s Budget Passes

If Spain strikes a deal, the TMT would be built on La Palma in the Canary Islands rather than on Mauna Kea, a mountain in Hawaii. In 2016, La Palma became the backup location for the observatory in case the primary site in Hawaii didn’t work out as an option, according to the TMT International Observatory. N
