KATSEYE is a global pop girl group inspired by K-pop that formed through a joint collaboration between HYBE and Geffen Records. The six members of KATSEYE – Manon Bannerman, Sophia Laforteza, Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel and Yoonchae Jeung – each represent a unique cultural and artistic background. These six were the final contestants for The Dream Academy, a Netflix competition series created to form a six-member ensemble in Los Angeles, Calif. The members were finalized in 2023 and dropped their first single, “Debut," on June 28, 2024. Since then, their group's popularity has increased tremendously and they have gained a lot of traction, earning both admiration and criticism. Nonetheless, the six-member girl group has already left an enormous impact on the music industry and pushes many stereotypes of pop groups.

Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood featured a haunted house maze themed around the three-movie Terrifier franchise, one of the most popular horror movie series in the past 10 years. Art the Clown, the black-and-white slasher of the films, has exploded in popularity, too. At the event, the Terrifier maze was full of Art the Clown scare actors interacting with brutal scenes from the movies as well as original creations. The walkthrough was immersive, with scented rooms and water effects to mimic blood squirting. Although the Terrifier house is one of the busiest throughout the night, there are seven other mazes, rides, scare zones and lots of fun to be had at Halloween Horror Nights.
