The best Katie Douglas movies and TV shows include roles in comedies and dramas and some interesting biopics that have helped elevate her to stardom. Douglas started acting when she was six in theater productions, and her career became so serious that she ended up completing her education with a tutor so she could continue acting while finishing school.

If you grew up reading Ya horror in the ’80s and ’90s, then you may feel somewhat like a kid again lately. A new Goosebumps TV series is in the works, R.L. Stine's Point Horror novels are being adapted into an anthology series by HBO Max, and now one of Christopher Pike's most beloved, haunting, and poignant novels is being developed as a Netflix series.

Variety reports that Pike's The Midnight Club is being adapted as a series for Netflix by Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong (Once Upon a Time).

Pike has never shied away from exploring real-life issues and dark themes in his Ya books, and The Midnight Club (initially released in 1994 by Simon Pulse) is known as one of his most heartbreaking and spine-chilling books, taking place at a hospice for young people where a group of patients dubbed the "Midnight Club" gather to tell spooky stories.

The concept of the DC Comics’ mystical characters gathering to combat occult evil always sounds good but of course, execution is everything. When it was done sparingly, as in Swamp Thing #50, it was quite effective. As an ongoing series, it proved tough to manage since each player was plucked from a title that had a fairly unique look and feel.

That said, the newly released animated Justice League Dark film is incredibly entertaining and certainly a cut above the last half-dozen releases. From a story by Jld writer J.M. DeMatteis and Ernie Altbacker, Altbacker’s script shifts the super-heroic DC Universe to supernatural threats that Superman (Jerry O’Connell), Wonder Woman (Rosario Dawson), Green Lantern (Roger Cross) and the others are less equipped to handle. Altbacker is no stranger to heroes and magicians with credits including Spooksville and Green Lantern: The Animated Series and he does a fine job weaving the various threads.

Zoe Boyle (Breathless, Downton Abbey) is set as a female lead in ABC’s summer drama series Astronaut Wives Club. The project, from Fake Empire, Groundswell Productions and ABC Studios, tells the real story of the women who stood beside some of the biggest heroes in American history during the height of the space race. Boyle, repped by ICM Partners, Seven Summits and Independent in the UK, will play Jo Schirra, wife of Wally Schirra, who flew missions for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. Related: 2014 ABC Pilots Morgan Taylor Campbell (The Killing) has been cast in ABC’s drama pilot Sea Of Fire, which chronicles the fallout from three teenage girls starring in a pornographic film, which tears their families apart and leads to a disappearance and a murder. Campbell will play Jane McAllister, the pretty, preppy and seemingly straight-laced daughter of Reverend Bobby and Adine McAllister, who goes...

The Hub Network's kid-friendly frightfest "Spooksville" is heading into its spine-tingling mid-season finale on December 21st so before it takes off for the year, we sat down with three of its young stars, Katie Douglas, Nick Purcha, and Keean Johnson, for a Q&A.

Katie Douglas - "Sally Wilcox"

Q: What kind of response have you gotten from the show so far?

A: On social networking Sally’s quite a hit with the younger girls I noticed. They like her wardrobe, and the show is actually number two on the Hub Network, which is absolutely amazing.

Q: So tell me a little bit about what you thought when you first heard about the show, about doing something scary like this.

A: When I first heard about the audition, I read the description that it used to be a book so I looked everywhere for print copies, but I actually didn’t get to find it.

Spooksville is a show about a young man moving into a strange new place and experiencing a life he never expected or thought possible. Minus the ancient curses and interdimensional monsters, it’s not all that different from the tale of its star, Keean Johnson. The young star is getting his first big break as the lead in the new Hub Network series, which is an adaptation of the popular book series by legendary young-adult author Christopher Pike. Johnson plays Adam, who moves with his dad (Steve Bacic) to Springville a seemingly sleepy small town that Adam is expecting to loathe. […]
