I haven't done a movie review in ages, but...
"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

I really liked season 1 of Carnival Row, starring Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevigne, and this is the music that plays in the end credits. The artist calls herself Patty Gurdy and plays the hurdy-gurdy, a weird hand-crank string instrument with a keyboard that sounds...
Do you want something spooky that's not Gothic and yet manages to be deeply unsettling? This 2006 mini-series starring Peter Krause and Julianna Margulies is an absolute gem. After coming across several objects that hide incredibly weird powers behind an absolutely ordinary appearance, detective Joe Miller...
It's an obligation for me to watch this 2005 movie at least one time a year, preferably during the spooky season, as it's one of the finest features from Nick Park and his Aardman Animations. Co-produced with Dreamworks, it reprises the inventor Wallace and his dog...

I recently went to see this movie with some friends, and it's perfectly fitting for the haunting season whether you like Banagh's Poirot or not (I personally have mixed feelings). It has a couple of things in common with the book of Spooktober Day 1, particularly...
