So it’s the week of Halloween and you’re in a spooky mood, on the hunt for some scary movies to watch. You’ve come to the right place.

Suspiria—the quasi-remake of Dario Argento’s 1977 cult horror film of the same name—is a wicked, audacious, frequently absurd nightmare. In other words, it’s the epitome of the past year in horror filmmaking.

The Megyn Kelly show looks like it’s over at NBC News. The network has reportedly cancelled her morning program after she confessed on the air this week that she didn’t understand why wearing blackface for Halloween is racist.

The most recent Pirates of the Caribbean movie came out just last year, but that won’t satisfy Disney’s unquenchable thirst for milking the brand for all it’s worth. The Mouse House is reportedly exploring a reboot of the popular pirate franchise, Deadline reported yesterday (Oct. 23).

Nobody loves anything as much as the NBA superstar LeBron James loves a fictional undead killer in a hockey mask.

When discussing how Halloween performed at the box office in its opening weekend, it might be easier to mention the records it didn’t break, instead of the ones that it did. There are quite a few.

Every year the Hollywood Reporter publishes a list of the 50 most powerful showrunners in television, and every year it features many of the same people: David Benioff and D.B. Weiss (Game of Thrones), Dick Wolf (Law & Order), Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory), and whichever white man happens to be in charge of The Walking Dead at any given time (for the past few years it’s been Scott Gimple).

The actor who became famous as the Superbad character with a pathological need to draw penises has now made his first film as a director—and it’s quite good.

Peter Jackson proved himself to be something of a wizard by bringing J.R.R Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings novels to life as a transcendent film trilogy. Now the filmmaker is using groundbreaking technical innovations to breathe life into the awful conflict that inspired Tolkien’s fantasy writings in the first place: World War I.

He wants an end to “enforced multiculturalism.” He wants to ban immigration. He despises leftists and “children of the elite.” No, this isn’t the latest screed of Trump advisor Stephen Miller, nor one of many unhinged Tucker Carlson rants on Fox News—though it could be either.

If anyone is qualified to compare Game of Thrones characters to real-life politicians, it is Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin. So it is no small thing when Martin says, definitively, that the character who most resembles Donald Trump is Joffrey Baratheon, the megalomaniacal teenage king of Westeros.

Star Wars internet trolls are declaring victory after Marvel Comics fired a prominent writer who was working on several new projects for the Disney-owned company.

First Man is the sum of many impressive parts: two great performances by Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy as Neil and Janet Armstrong; assured direction from 2016’s best director winner Damien Chazelle; and a deeply unnerving sound design that emphasizes just how crazy it was that we launched people into space 50 years ago in what was basically a tin can strapped to a rocket.

The political situation in the United States is so fraught and dismaying that some observers are longing for the relatively simpler times of yesteryear, when George W. Bush was president. In the debut trailer for Adam McKay’s new film, Vice, Christian Bale is here to remind us that wishing for those days probably isn’t very wise.

2018 has been a year ripe with juicy celebrity feuds: Nicki Minaj vs. Cardi B, Eminem vs. Machine Gun Kelly, Kim Cattrall vs. Sarah Jessica Parker. The strangest of them all, however, is unfolding right now before our very eyes: Lady Gaga fans vs. the comic book movie Venom.

The experience of watching an upcoming episode of Black Mirror could itself be the basis for an episode of Black Mirror.

If spring is for cleaning your literal home, then let autumn be the time to clean your metaphorical entertainment and culture house.

Netflix wants you to know that Kevin Spacey’s House of Cards character is dead. Unquestionably, extremely deceased.

Sony Pictures’ upcoming sequel to 2011’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has undergone a significant title change. The Girl in the Spider’s Web is no more. Long live the The Girl in the Spider’s Web: A New Dragon Tattoo Story, the cumbersome title that now appears in Sony’s official publicity materials.
