My Top 5 Obsessions This Week
There is a slight chill in the air , a crispness that wasn’t there before and Autumn leaves rustle around your feet in a mysterious way. Darkness falls earlier this time of year and the everyday noise we hear is cloaked in a muffled darkness as we walk a little faster to the car or front door. Sensing somehow that Something is out there waiting... It is that time of fear my friends. Grab a blanket and lock the doors. Here are 5 I have been saving just for you.
1) Stranger Things is coming Friday and it will prove to be even better than season 1. The Duffer brothers have released more supernatural elements on the town of Hawkins, Indiana. It is Halloween 1984 and we will be in for a treat. Dustin has a new pet and two new siblings are in town to create chaos in one way or another. I cannot wait to find out.
2) Mindhunter , streaming now on a Netflix is the perfect antidote to all the slick serial killer shows out there. Set in the late 70s a Quantico professor played by Jonathan Groff is teaching hostage theory and finding it unfulfilling, he sets out with another agent played by Holt McCallany to educate local law enforcement on the psychology of murder and learns how the mind of a monster works. I think Geoff can do anything and I am a huge fan of all his work.
3) The Exorcist new season features multiple possessions and a creepy house on an island filled with disturbed foster kids fathered by John Cho (he who can do anything) who may or may not be demon possessed . I am unsure how they will tie this to the demons in the Vatican but I want to see how it plays out.
4) Channel Zero No End House is one of the creepiest shows on tv right now. An anthology series on Syfy , this season explores a six room house that appears once a year and draws people into it and delves into their psyche as they make their way through each terror filled room. Creepypasta stories fleshed out. Ryan Murphy should check these out.
5) Freakish , a Hulu original series is The Breakfast Club meets The Mist in a bingeworthy tale of high school students trapped in their school during a chemical plant explosion. The murderous results are terrorizing the kids as they quarrel and fight and share secrets. The high school equivalent to The Walking Dead may contain all kinds of common tropes and cliches. But I find the two seasons an easy watch.
