On May 9, 1980, the world was first introduced to a group of unwitting camp counselors getting picked off one-by-one by a mysterious killer in Friday the 13th, and the horror genre has never been the same since.

Apple's latest advertisement for its new iPad Pro, unveiled during its Let Loose event, not only drew some scathing comments from celebrities such as Hugh Grant and Justine Bateman, but created a backlash so strong that the tech giant was forced to issue an apology.

Last month, Galactus was confirmed to be the main villain of Marvel's upcoming The Fantastic Four, and now we know who will be playing the mighty antagonist - The First Omen's Ralph Ineson.
