The Babadook (2014)

*"If it's in a word, or if it's in a book,**you can't get rid of the Babadook."*

A widowed mother learns this the hard way in Jennifer Kent's widely acclaimed indie horror film. Essie Davis plays Amelia, who struggles to raise her 6-year-old son, Sam (Noah Wiseman), as he's tormented by the titular humanoid storybook monster. The Babadook's power comes from readers becoming aware of his existence, and, after Amelia reads the book to Sam, she too begins to endure horrific experiences of her own.

Before every artful-minded modern horror film became about grief and trauma, *The Babadook* explored these themes with authenticity, deftly weaving in Amelia's grief over the loss of her husband and her inability to control her son with traditional horror tropes. —*Kevin Jacobsen*

**EW grade:** B+

**Director:** Jennifer Kent

**Cast:** Essie Davis, Noah Wiseman, Hayley McElhinney, Daniel Henshall, Barbara West

Black Christmas (1974)

Margot Kidder as Barb Coard in 'Black Christmas'

Imbued with the suburban paranoia of the '70s, *Black Christmas* is the ultimate feel-bad holiday movie — though it can certainly be enjoyed all year round. Taking place during the Christmas season, the film centers on a group of sorority sisters who are tormented by persistent, disturbing phone calls. After one of the sisters is murdered, they try to get the police to intervene as the mysterious killer brutally picks off the other young women. Haunting and influential, *Black Christmas* is all the more terrifying due to the plausibility of the fears expressed. —*K.J.*

Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981)

In a small southern town, a mob led by postman Otis Hazelrigg (Charles Durning) hunts down and murders Bubba (Larry Drake), who is developmentally disabled, after mistakenly believing he hurt a local girl who was in fact mauled by a dog. Not long after Bubba's funeral, the men who killed him begin to perish in a series of mysterious accidents.

Frank De Felitta's made-for-TV chiller is a searing indictment of mob violence and personal prejudice that only gains relevance as the years go on. It also happens to be one of the most frightening films of the era. It's a film that seems to say, in the end, the most monstrous villains are not supernatural vengeance-seekers, but rather everyday men in pursuit of power. —*Declan Gallagher*

**Director: **Frank De Felitta

Eraserhead (1977)

Jack Nance as Henry Spencer in 'Eraserhead'

Jack Nance as Henry Spencer in 'Eraserhead'. Everett Collection

The legendary David Lynch announced himself to the world with this startling, nightmarish debut feature. Set in an eerie industrial city, *Eraserhead* follows a humble man named Henry (Jack Nance) as he struggles to raise his grotesque, reptilian-looking infant child. As the child incessantly cries day and night, Henry begins to have surreal visions that only an innovative mind like Lynch's could devise. Filmed in striking black and white, the film's unsettling power comes from its blending of an alien-like sensibility and our very human subconscious fears. —*K.J.*

**Director:** David Lynch

**Cast:** Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Allen Joseph, Jeanne Bates, Judith Roberts

Goodnight Mommy (2015)

Susanne Wuest as Mother in 'Goodnight Mommy'

Susanne Wuest as Mother in 'Goodnight Mommy'. RADiUS-TWC

A mother (Susanne Wuest) returns home after cosmetic facial surgery, leaving her twin sons (Elias and Lukas Schwarz) unnerved by her heavily bandaged appearance in this Austrian psychological horror film. When their mother starts to exhibit strange behavior, the twins conclude that she's not their real mother, but, in fact, an impostor. The boys begin testing this presumed interloper, going to extreme lengths to prove her wrong, despite her protestations. Featuring a wild twist ending, *Goodnight Mommy* gets under your skin while exploring themes of family trauma and fear of the unknown.

An American remake starring Naomi Watts was released in 2022, but, like with most horror films, you're better off sticking with the original. —*K.J.*

Green Room (2016)

Patrick Stewart as Darcy Banker in 'Green Room'

Patrick Stewart as Darcy Banker in 'Green Room'. Scott Green/A24

The eternal battle of ideologues vs. rebels is represented in bloody fashion in Jeremy Saulnier's underrated horror-thriller. After a down-on-their-luck punk band plays at a seedy venue that turns out to be a bar for neo-Nazis, they quickly find themselves fighting for their lives. Confined to the bar's titular green room, the band is forced to use its limited resources to find a way out. Anton Yelchin, Alia Shawkat, Joe Cole, and Callum Turner make up the band, the cleverly named Ain't Rights, but it's Patrick Stewart who steals the show as the eerily calm skinhead leader. —*K.J.*

Hellraiser (1987)

Doug Bradley as Lead Cenobite in 'Hellraiser'

Doug Bradley as Lead Cenobite in 'Hellraiser'. Everett Collection

Hollywood has returned again and again to the *Hellraiser* well — with a whopping nine sequels and a 2022 reboot — but nothing beats the original. Clive Barker's adaptation of his own novella, *The Hellbound Heart*, introduced us to one of the scariest cinematic baddies, Pinhead, leader of a group of sadomasochistic demonic beings who are summoned by humans either accidentally or in pursuit of pleasures of their own. Frank Cotton (Sean Chapman) falls into the latter category in the original film, learning the hard way of Pinhead and the Cenobites' twisted sensibilities. After escaping their clutches, his sister-in-law — with whom he's also had an affair — learns of his unusual fate and takes extreme measures to revive him.

Even after all these years, the film holds up in spectacle and substance, with EW's critic calling it "a nauseatingly gooey visual effects epic as well as a character drama with an unexpected emotional hook." —*K.J.*

Hush (2016)

Shout! Studios/Courtesy Everett Collection

This anxiety-riddled film from horror maestro Mike Flanagan makes the most of its relatively simple concept. Kate Siegel stars as Maddie, a writer living in seclusion in the woods who must deal with the sudden arrival of a serial killer (John Gallagher Jr.). Complicating matters is the fact that Maddie is deaf and mute, forcing her to utilize her other senses to stop the killer from claiming her as his next victim. What separates *Hush* from other slasher films of its ilk is how Flanagan and Siegel give its main character sharp instincts and depth, as well as a frightening use of silence. —*K.J.*

**Director:** Mike Flanagan

**Cast:** Kate Siegel, John Gallagher Jr., Samantha Sloyan, Michael Trucco, Emma Graves

The Invitation (2016)

Logan Marshall-Green as Will in 'The Invitation'

Have you ever been to a dinner party that feels a little...off? Such is the case in *The Invitation*, which stars Logan Marshall-Green as Will, who attends a soiree thrown by his ex-wife, with whom he has a shared trauma. Will becomes unsettled as he learns of his ex-wife and her new boyfriend's recent induction into a cultish group called the Invitation. To say much more would be to ruin the wild twists and turns that unfold as the night marches onward.

Filled to the brim with slow-burning dread, *The Invitation* marked a welcome return to indie filmmaking for director Karyn Kusama, previously known for *Girlfight* (2000), *Aeon Flux* (2005), and the perpetually misunderstood *Jennifer's Body* (2009). —*K.J.*

Let the Right One In (2008)

The depiction of vampires on film has run the gamut from creepy classics like *Nosferatu* (1922) to moody gothic romance like *Nosferatu* (2024), and this Swedish horror drama has a little something for everyone. Set in early-'80s Stockholm, *Let the Right One In* centers on Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant), a 12-year-old outcast boy who befriends a vampire girl named Eli (Lina Leandersson) — though he's unaware of her true identity at first. Together, they develop an intense connection as Eli helps Oskar confront his sadistic bullies while she tries to harbor her bloody secret. —*K.J.*

Shot on gorgeous 35mm film, this darkly comedic horror flick is a nostalgic cinephile's dream. *The Love Witch* centers on a young witch (Samantha Robinson) who moves to a California town and uses her magic powers to make men fall in love with her, though she soon gets herself into increasingly messy situations as bodies start to pile up. Anna Biller, who wrote, directed, and produced the film, finds inspiration in B-movie horror and the sumptuous Technicolor of Old Hollywood. —*K.J.*

Next of Kin (1982)

Linda (Jacki Kerin) returns to her Australian hometown in the wake of a family death to oversee her inheritance: Montclare, a creaky old mansion that functions as a retirement home for the community. Before long, bodies of residents begin turning up, and diary entries from Linda's mother expose dark secrets from the past. *Next of Kin* is a brilliantly constructed slow burn, an old-fashioned gothic spine-tingler of the highest caliber. Director Tony Williams masterfully curates a mood of oppressive dread from the opening minutes through the bloody climax and explosive final frames, making this one of the very best Australian horror films of all time. —*D.G.*

Our modern understanding of zombies can be traced back to George A. Romero's landmark horror classic. While the undead walkers in *Night of the Living Dead* are never referred to as "zombies," they have all the trademarks of the horror movie staple. A group of humans, drawn together out of necessity, try to ward off a pack of ghouls who intend to feast on them — thus turning them into ghouls themselves.

While the film remains an effective horror experience, its historical context makes it all the more fascinating. Analysts have cited *Night of the Living Dead* as a subversive commentary on the Vietnam War, which was raging at the time of the film's release. It also features a Black man as the central hero when race relations were being examined more than ever before in American society. Even without that context, though, *Night of the Living Dead* operates as an enthralling horror movie in and of itself. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Night of the Living Dead*: Tubi

**Director:** George A. Romero

**Cast: **Judith O'Dea, Duane Jones, Marilyn Eastman, Karl Hardman, Judith Ridley

Nosferatu (1922)

Horror wouldn't be what it is today without *Nosferatu*, which celebrated its 100-year anniversary in 2022. F.W. Murnau's gothic silent film is essentially an unofficial take on Bram Stoker's *Dracula*, with the names changed. Max Schreck plays Count Orlok, the Dracula analog who preys upon Hutter, a visiting estate agent. Hutter eventually realizes his client is, in fact, a vampire, and Hutter's wife may be the key to saving him and their community.

While the limitations of technology at the time naturally prevent the film from delivering the dread-inducing jump scares that modern audiences may crave, the atmosphere of *Nosferatu* is enough to get under your skin. A century later, there have been too many depictions of Dracula and other blood-sucking vampires to count, but Schreck's Count Orlok might still be the creepiest. —*K.J.*

**Director:** F.W. Murnau

Pieces (1982)

Genre stalwart Christopher George stars as a detective investigating a series of chainsaw murders at a Boston university in this gonzo gorefest. Joining George in his fight to stop the slasher are a particularly suspicious student (Ian Sera) and a famous tennis pro (Lynda Day George) who, bored with the celebrity touring circuit, decides to join up as an undercover detective.

The unabashed silliness of the plot does little to dilute the entertainment value of director Juan Piquer Simón's sleazy, cheesy fever dream. Among moments of dubious dubbing and peculiar acting, the film delivers some genuinely suspenseful sequences, and Juan Mariné's cinematography is colorful and well-polished. Simón made the film in response to the *Friday the 13th* series, which he felt would often soft-peddle the gore. If you're in it strictly for the viscera, you will leave satisfied, and possibly even a bit exhausted, by the splattery shenanigans on display here. —*D.G.*

Possessor (2020)

Andrea Riseborough as Tasya Vos in 'Possessor'

Andrea Riseborough as Tasya Vos in 'Possessor'.

Andrea Riseborough is renowned for her ability to shape-shift as a performer, which takes on new meaning in this acclaimed sci-fi horror film. The Oscar-nominated actress plays Tasya Vos, an assassin who uses an innovative machine that allows her to inhabit other people's bodies and carry out her bloody tasks. This has gradually caused difficulties in living her own life as she is plagued with violent memories. She experiences her biggest challenge yet when she possesses a man (Christopher Abbott) who unexpectedly regains control, trapping Vos' consciousness in his body.

Director Brandon Cronenberg revealed to EW that he devised the film from his own emotional experience of the press campaign for his previous film, *Antiviral* (2012). "You end up performing another version of yourself, this kind of media-self that then goes off and has its own weird life online without you," he explained. —*K.J.*

Rec (2007)

Found-footage horror was all the rage in the late-2000s, and this Spanish zombie movie is one of the exemplars of the subgenre. The film follows Ángela (Manuela Velasco), a reporter who goes with her cameraman (Ferrán Terraza) to an apartment building where an elderly woman has called the fire department for assistance. Upon arriving, the woman viciously attacks a police officer and it becomes clear that a dangerous infection is spreading within the complex. Legitimately scary stuff. —*K.J.*

Ringu (1998)

*Ringu* is one of the most influential films in the horror genre, not only spawning a U.S. remake in the form of 2002's *The Ring* but also making "J-horror" such a hot, worldwide trend in film at the turn of the century. The Japanese psychological horror drama tells the story of Reiko (Nanako Matsushima), a journalist investigating the death of her niece, who watched a videotape featuring cryptic imagery and received an ominous phone call claiming she would die in seven days — which ended up coming true. After Reiko watches the tape for herself, she receives the same call and tries to get to the bottom of its origin and meaning.

Unnervingly tense, *Ringu* still holds up today as a watch-between-your-fingers favorite. As EW's critic put it, "*Ringu* has proven to be a surprisingly durable concept...The elegant simplicity of that hook is supported by a disturbing internal mythology." —*K.J.*

Suspiria (1977)

Jessica Harper as Suzy Bannion in 'Suspiria'

Back in 2017, Scott Derrickson, the noted director behind *Sinister*, told EW that *Suspiria*, the tale of American Suzy Bannion (Jessica Harper) and her encounter with a coven of witches at a prestigious German dance academy, was "the most influential horror film on me, personally... Every time I see it, its influence on me continues to grow."

Dario Argento's sublime horror film (streaming in a luminous new transfer) was originally written for a cast of young children. When scripting issues necessitated older characters, Argento built the sets to appear large next to his adult actors. Through this sly trick, where doorknobs rise to noses and walls tower high above the hairline, Argento sketches a vision of witchy terror akin to early works of German surrealism. *Suspiria* sees Argento at the height of his powers, and contains some of the most eye-popping production design ever committed to celluloid. —*D.G.*

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

One of the true granddaddies of the horror genre is as terrifying now as it was to moviegoers in 1974. The film follows a group of unsuspecting young friends who travel through Texas and come across a depraved family of cannibals hellbent on making them their next victims. As the friends are taken out one by one, the dread amplifies all the way through the blood-soaked finale.

*The Texas Chain Saw Massacre* not only spawned a franchise (with nine feature films, to date) but proved massively influential on horror in the decades to come. The low-budget slasher proved you didn't need big studio money or high-profile stars to make an impact. Director Julia Ducournau, who mastered the art of body horror with films like *Raw* and *Titane*, cited *The Texas Chain Saw Massacre* as the preeminent Halloween film. —*K.J.*

1 / 4Film Review - PillionThis image released by A24 shows Harry Melling, left, and Alexander Skarsgård in a scene from "Pillion." (Chris Harris/A24 via AP)

"Do you give?"

It can be a pertinent question in any relationship, but it's a particularly poignant one for the BDSM couple of Harry Lighton's kink-friendly, disarmingly affecting romance "Pillion."

Like most lovers, Colin (Harry Melling) and Ray (Alexander Skarsgård) have an understanding. OK, sure. Their lines are a little more firmly drawn than most. Colin does all the cooking, sleeps on the floor and wears a locked chair around his neck. (Ray keeps the key around his.) You could say the power balance isn't quite equitable.

Basically, Colin does whatever Ray wants him to, and is happy doing it. There is, as you might expect, not a small amount of leather involved. Judge if you must, but the arrangement seems to work for them.

Even among the many odd couples to grace our movie screens, Ray and Colin are a singular duo. Fay Wray and King Kong had more in common. Colin is a meek and accommodating parking enforcement officer in Bromley who lives with his parents (Lesley Sharp, Douglas Hodge) and sings in a barbershop quartet. Ray is a mysterious, terse and deadly handsome motorcyclist.

If you're wondering how they could have ever come together — most people who encounter them do — "Pillion" begins with a very memorable meet-cute — memorable because their coming together is almost the exact inverse of romantic-comedy fantasy.

Colin is on the way to a barbershop performance when, from the backseat of a moving car, his eye catches a blur going past. Betty Curtis' "Chariot" swoons on the radio. Later in the pub, they don't actually meet or even lock eyes, but Ray leaves a note to meet up, on Christmas. The date, if you can call it that, is brief. Ray says hardly a word, but Colin follows him into a dark alley. Licking of boots, and more, ensues.

"What am I going to do with you?" says Ray afterward.

"Whatever you want, really," replies Colin, without a trace of guile or shame.

When Colin returns home, his parents are eager for details. "Nice chap?" his dad asks.

It's a question that hovers over "Pillion," which very much takes Colin's perspective as their relationship deepens — or at least becomes more codified. Ray says virtually nothing to Colin that isn't a command. You'd say he treats him like a dog, but Ray at least lets his dog sit on the couch.

We wait for either Colin to break, or Ray's imperial reign to soften. But it's also clear that Colin is quite happy. Submissiveness comes naturally to him. He cheerfully quotes Ray telling him he has "an aptitude for devotion." When he clings to Ray's back on his motorcycle, Colin looks downright blissful. When Ray makes him wrestle, he quickly dominates Colin. Does he give? Happily.

The power struggle, or surrender, of "Pillion" makes it perhaps our first "dom-com." (It's also, somewhat hysterically, the second domination-themed release from A24, following 2024's "Babygirl." ) But what makes "Pillion," Lighton's first feature, such a bewitching experience is its lightness. It's based on Adam Mars-Jones' "Box Hill," but Lighton's film largely avoids the darker, abusive turns of the novel. Lighton is more keen to enjoy the unfolding dynamics of a relationship in the extreme, one that ultimately, like any other, is guided by needs and wants.

And the performances are uncanny. Skarsgård's Ray is swaggeringly impervious, with only the most subtle hints of sensitivity. But the movie belongs to Melling. The former "Harry Potter" actor has always had an uniquely beguiling presence. I think of him most in the Coen brothers' "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs," shorn of all appendages yet still so powerfully arresting with those melancholic eyes. In "Pillion," it's the way that Melling so goofily and sweetly takes to his new role with Colin that makes the film both quite comic and curiously moving.

It's a funny movie; there are countless moments, like that "Nice chap?" line, primed for laughter. But it's also, especially for a film that's drawn headlines for its explicitness, a strangely touching one. "Pillion" has been billed, a little tongue-in-cheek, as a love story, timed to Valentine's Day. But it's more like a sexual coming of age, one where even a submissive like Colin that you can't always give.

"Pillion," an A24 release in theaters Friday and nationwide Feb. 20, is not yet rated by the Motion Picture Association but contains explicit sex scene. Running time: 106 minutes. Three stars out of four.

*Home Alone* star Macaulay Culkin is paying a heartbreaking tribute to his onscreen mom and close friend Catherine O'Hara after her death.

The actor posted on Instagram shortly after news of O'Hara's death broke, sharing a collage featuring two photos of him and the late actress: one from their 1990 hit Christmas film and their reunion at Culkin's Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony in December 2023.

"Mama. I thought we had time," the former child star captioned his sorrowful post. "I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much more to say."

He signed off with a sweet message to the late actress, writing, "I love you. I'll see you later."

Then, less than an hour later, a clearly grief-stricken Culkin replied to his own post to note, "I'm mad about this…"

The actress died at age 71 on Friday in Los Angeles following a brief illness, her manager confirmed to **. Her family announced plans to hold a private celebration of her life at a later date.

Culkin and O'Hara's offscreen relationship grew and evolved in the years since they played Kevin and Kate McCallister in Chris Columbus and John Hughes' Christmas classic and its 1992 sequel, *Home Alone 2: Lost in New York*. So much so that the Canadian comedienne took to the podium to dedicate a speech to her former costar during his star ceremony.

"*Home Alone* was, is, and always will be a beloved global sensation," O'Hara began her speech. "The reason families all over the world can't let a year go by without watching and loving *Home Alone* together is because of Macaulay Culkin."

Yes, Culkin had the "most excellent script" and "wonderful director," but it was his "perfect performance" that has made it such an enduring classic, O'Hara continued. "I know you worked really hard, but you made acting look like the most natural thing in the world to do." She later added, "This beautiful 10-year-old little boy was called a superstar, a moneymaker, one of the hottest leading young men in Hollywood. How does anyone survive that?"

"I believe you'd have to possess a certain quality," O'Hara said. "A gift that dear John Hughes obviously recognized in Macaulay." Of his sense of humor, "It's a sign of intelligence in a child and a key to survival at any age," she added. "You have brought that sense of sweet yet twisted, yet totally relatable, sense of humor to everything you have chosen to do since *Home Alone.*"**

The comedy legend concluded her speech by thanking Culkin for including her, "your fake mom that left you home alone not once but twice," to "share in this happy occasion." After sharing a hug, Culkin wiped away tears.

O'Hara is survived by her husband, production designer Bo Welch, whom she met on the set of *Beetlejuice,* and sons Matthew and Luke, along with siblings Michael O'Hara, Mary Margaret O'Hara, Maureen Jolley, Marcus O'Hara, Tom O'Hara, and Patricia Wallice.

LaMonte McLemore, the founder of pop-soul group The 5th Dimension, has died. He was 90.

McLemore died Tuesday, Feb. 3, at his home in Las Vegas, surrounded by his wife of 30 years and family, his agency, 2911 Media, confirmed. LaMonte died from natural causes following a stroke suffered several years ago, his reps said.

As one of five vocalists for the aptly named 5th Dimension, McLemore was instrumental in the rise of psychedelic pop in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The group, known for its genre-blending and mass appeal, was known for hits like "Up, Up and Away" and "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In."

The 5th Dimension recall the unusual way 'Aquarius / Let the Sunshine In' came together

The group won the coveted record of the year Grammy award twice, first in 1968 then in 1970, and they nabbed a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1991.

Born in 1935, in St. Louis, Missouri, McLemore served in the United States Navy, where he worked as an aerial photographer; he would later draw on in his work as a celebrity and sports photographer. He went on to pursue baseball briefly before turning to music after a move to Southern California.

1 / 10Passages 2026: Catherine O'Hara, Valentino and more stars we lost

Catherine O'Hara, the legendary actress known for "Home Alone," "Best in Show" and "Schitt's Creek," died on Jan. 30 at the age of 71, O'Hara's manager confirmed to People magazine. A cause of death was not given.A veteran in the entertainment industry, O'Hara has been one of the most lauded and respected actors of her generation, winner of two career Emmy awards, a Golden Globe and two Actor Awards (formerly Screen Actors Guild Awards). She was nominated for two Emmys at the 2025 ceremony.

He founded 5th Dimension in Los Angeles, stringing together Billy Davis Jr., Florence LaRue, Marilyn McCoo and Ron Townson. They went on to redefine the genre and appear on many of the major television variety shows of the era. They also toured internationally, including a 1973 State Department cultural tour that brought American pop music behind the Iron Curtain.

"All of us who knew and loved him will definitely miss his energy and wonderful sense of humor," former bandmates Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr. said in a statement.

"Proverbs 17:22 states that 'A joyful heart is good medicine…' Well, Lamonte really knew my prescription! His cheerfulness and laughter often brought strength and refreshment to me in difficult times," Florence LaRue another 5th Dimension member, said. "We were more like brother and sister than singing partners. I didn't realize the depth of my love for Lamonte until he was no longer here. His absence has shown me the magnitude of what he meant to me and that love will stay in my heart forever."

Townson died in 2001.

There's officially presidential blood in *The View* family.

Cohost Sara Haines broke down in tears upon discovering that she's related to two United States presidents, with the reveal coming amid *Finding Your Roots* host Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s Thursday morning visit to the Hot Topics table.

After giving *The View* cohosts a quick history on another one of Haines' relatives, a German man who abandoned a woman he impregnated in the 1700s, the show cued up a clip from Haines' full *Finding Your Roots* episode that revealed Haines' shocking genealogical ties to one of the Founding Fathers.

"Do you know who that is?" Gates Jr. asks Haines in the footage, while he shows her a portrait of John Adams. "He looks like a lot of people in my history book," Haines replies.

Upon realizing that it's the second president, Gates Jr. informs her, "He is your third cousin, nine times removed!"

The 48-year-old throws her head back and laughs, eventually resting her face in her hands before looking up with tears streaming down her face.

"Oh my God. I'm related to a president!" Haines says, laughing and crying at the same time. "And he was a good one!"

Back at the Hot Topics table, Gates Jr. then exclaims that Haines is therefore, "related not to one president, but to two presidents," as Adams' son, John Quincy Adams, later became the sixth president in 1825,.

"We only had one other guest in the history of the series who was related to a president, unhappily so, and that was Michael Moore, who was related to Herbert Hoover," Gates Jr. recalled. "You are our first guest happily related to two United States presidents!"**

Gates Jr. traced Haines' relationship to the Adams presidents through her maternal grandfather, who was born in Kansas, whose mother was related to Henry Adams, Haines' 11th great-grandfather who was born in England and later settled in Massachusetts.

Nearly all of *The View *cohosts have appeared on* Finding Your Roots* — except for Alyssa Farah Griffin, whom Gates Jr. formally invited to be on a future episode while he sat at the table. Earlier, Gates Jr. uncovered a troubling bit of history for panelist Sunny Hostin, who learned on the show in 2024 that her ancestors owned slaves.

On the episode, Hostin learned that, in addition to her Puerto Rican ancestry, she also had Spanish lineage in her blood, and that her fourth great-grandfather was a merchant "who was likely involved in the slave trade" in 1800s Spain, and "owned at least one human being," the host told her at the time.

*The View* airs weekdays on ABC.* Finding Your Roots* airs Tuesdays on PBS.
