The Babadook, or, It’s Nice to Have a Man About the House

What Lies Beneath, or, People Who Live in Glass Houses Shouldn’t Do Rear Window
Soft-launching Spooktober 2026 with a Dreamworks version of Hitchcock that everybody’s already seen (no spoilers anyway)

One Thing I Like About The End of Oak Street
The movie about dinosaurs in the suburbs is a period piece set during a time when I probably would’ve enjoyed this movie.
