Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2025 (Part 2: The Top 5)
2025 was kind of a special year for Lifetime movies. I mentioned in Part 1 that we saw angles that were very new to the Lifetime film scene, but we also saw a good amount of star power as well in thrillers. In thrillers! Lifetime usually saves the big guns for holiday films and true crime retellings, but we saw some interesting names appear for Lifetime this year. Some of them even played villainesses. The casting in some films has given this fan hope for future films, but that's another few stories.

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2025 (Part 1: #10 - #6)
Five years. It's hard to believe that this is my fifth year compiling this list. I love Lifetime films with a passion and have for about a quarter-century now. Those who read my stories wonder when I start really preparing the list. When do I exactly start the process of elimination in my mind as I watch Lifetime's amazing movies? No, the answer's not January or February. It's usually around Stanley Cup Playoff time--late spring/early summer.

Does Strange Things Have A Horcrux Problem?
Like many, I’ve been watching the final season of Stranger Things, avidly keeping up with the gang of tweens-turned-teenage nerds ever since they discovered the mysterious Eleven in the woods. But, unlike the previous four 80s pining seasons where a “big-bad” has appeared, threatening the cast and their Americana dull hometown of Hawkins, whether it’s the Demogorgon, the Mind Flayer, or the Russians, season 5 is unique not only in bringing back a previous antagonist from season 4, Vecna, but also heavily retconning the series to make it appear as though they have always been the series antagonist from the start.

Real-Life “Stranger Things”:
In the Netflix universe of Stranger Things, when children fall into comas, they don’t simply sleep. They drift. They travel. Their minds slip into another dimension—the Upside Down—where fear, memory, and survival blur together. It’s fiction, sure—neon bikes, flickering lights, government labs.
