The first intention of a Halloween watchlist is to recommend to its readers a handful of sinister cinematic screenings meant to celebrate the spooky season. But what if a witchy watchlist could inspire more screenings beyond the 10, 20, or 31 that October could otherwise provide?
That’s why Late-Night at the Pickwick is serving up sneak previews of even more movies — so that you may discover ominous films well beyond the month of October. Follow along with our night-by-night double feature viewing recommendations, or dig deeper still into a cavern of carnage, going down a widescreen wormhole that these feature-length & short-form sinister suggestions promise to provide!
So prep the popcorn, settle into your seat, and get ready for a rioutous round of nightly nightmares …
Because terrors await!

NEXT TIME …

Films include a story of two hopeful paranormal investigators facing the shutdown of an allegedly haunted hotel, a story of a grassroots film crew investigating a deadly local legend, and more!
Chris Kaine is the most amateur film essayist whom you may ever imagine. He earnestly contends that he was named after the actor Chris Sarandon, because he was either conceived while his parents watched Fright Night (1985) in his paternal grandparents’ basement, or because of their love for The Princess Bride (1987), which stars a character by the name of “Humperdink,” which is pretty funny, if you think about it.
