Spooky season traditions and horror film recommendations

As the transition from summer to autumn approaches, preparations for the ‘spooky season’ and Halloween are underway. Traditions rooted in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain include wearing costumes, decorating homes with seasonal aesthetics, and participating in trick-or-treating.

In the realm of entertainment, horror enthusiasts are encouraged to watch specific films before they depart from streaming platforms. The A24 film ‘Heretic’ is highlighted, featuring Hugh Grant as a man with dark intentions encountered by two Mormon missionaries. The film stars Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East and is noted for its tense, intimate storytelling.
