The Coralville Center for the Performing Arts will present Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing tonight, October 18th at 8 PM & midnight.

Let's hear it for the ladies of horror: those evil, tormented women, who have been inhabited by the devil or perhaps chased by a crazed lunatic wielding a deadly chainsaw. Fear not, your nightmares have been answered as EPIX and FEARnet have partnered to present 'Maidens of Mayhem,' a week-long festival of horror films featuring possessed ladies and the men/women and other entities who love them - or want to kill them. The festival begins on FEARnet today, October 14th and moves to EPIX on Thursday, October 17th with a special presentation of the original Carrie (1976) starring Sissy Spacek on the eve of the latest film adaptation of the Stephen King novel, starring Chlo? Grace-Moretz and Julianne Moore. Following the film, EPIX will present a World Premiere sneak peek at the new movie (see full schedule below).

EW has noted that in a Facebook promo for tomorrow night's episode of MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D., a pretty significant hint was dropped that Samuel L. Jackson may make a cameo (which you can view below.) The promo suggests 'Don't risk the spoilers, stay to the very end' - and then the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo swoops up, and the eagle's wearing an eye patch.

Based on Nielsen's Live + 3 Day TV playback data released this morning, ABC's Tuesday debut of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. saw its Adult 18-49 number spike by +1.78 rating points from a 4.70 L+SD to a 6.48 L+3 rating, making it the biggest absolute gainer for any show this season and solidifying its standing as the season's #1 new series.
