While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

The 1A Movie Club: Horror for Halloween

WAMU 88.5 | By Michelle Harven

Published October 31, 2022 at 8:04 AM CDT

A person dressed as the character Michael Myers arrives for the premiere of "Halloween Ends" at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California.

It’s Halloween—a day for adrenaline, heart-pumping terror.

Whether it’s a killer clown, a horrifying AirBnB experience, or a masked serial killer who’s been on the loose for over 40 years, this year’s horror films are sure to terrify you somehow.

And 2022 has been a banner year for the genre, with some scary movies making 10 or even 20 times their budget.

What films are worth the nightmares? And how has the genre handled a post-pandemic cinema landscape? We talk through recent watches, the best horror of 2022, and where the genre may be heading next on this spooky edition of the Movie Club.
