Sitting at 459 pages, the bestselling author’s latest novel, Variation, follows a dancer returning home for the summer. But it isn’t long until she discovers family secrets dating back years and realizes she holds regret over a Coast Guard rescue swimmer she can’t shake from her memory.

“Some books break me, and others push me to the limit of what I think I know about the world and myself,” Yarros shared on Instagram. “But writing this one…it healed me in a way I desperately needed and I can’t wait to share it with you guys!”

Allie Rousseau is an elite ballet dancer who has spent her career under her mother’s gaze, constantly trying to obtain perfection. An unexpected injury leads to Allie needing time to recover and relax. What better place to do this than her old summer home? But sometimes returning to the past isn’t all that relaxing. Everything about the place starts to come back when she arrives. It isn’t long before she faces a piece of her past– Hudson Ellis.

Do you ever sit and daydream about what it must be like to get an invite to Heidi Klum’s famous Halloween bash each year? It’s like Christmas morning waking up to see all the looks from the night before, especially seeing Heidi Klum reveal her iconic Halloween costume.

A true celebrity costume favorite on Halloween is the trio Madeleine Petsch, Camila Mendes, and Lili Reinhart. The trio has done a group costume since their time in Riverdale together. Yesterday, in a recent post, however, Lili Reinhart was not present in the group photo. Reinhart posted on her Instagram story, “I wasn’t sure if I was going to be in town today due to a sick family member, so didn’t want to commit to a group costume. Felt I needed to share that since lots are asking and anticipating. Happy Halloween.”

We will be waiting on next year’s look from the group! For now, let’s look at a list of iconic Halloween costumes that we won’t be forgetting anytime soon.

When I Say I Want To Watch Spooky Movies, These Are The Ones I Mean

There is no denying the tight hold Halloweentown and Hocus Pocus have on us. And sometimes, when the weather is just right, and you can hear the wind blowing outside with the sun shining, these movies are great to have on the TV. But when I think Halloween movie night, these are the ones I’m referring to.

Beware! They are not for the faint of heart!

I’m positive you’ve seen the popular Facebook meme about scary movies. It’s been sent to me a few times, which inspired this article. Whether you are a Halloweentown lover or an Exorcist lover (you can absolutely be both), sometimes a Halloween spooky movie night looks different for everyone.

I’ll admit when I saw this, my brain immediately went to the scene from Scream (1996) by Skeet Ulrich who plays Billy Loomis.

It’s such an iconic scene. Here are eight movies to watch for a very spooky movie night.

Trick ‘r Treat (2007)

This bloody Halloween movie will have you leaving your jack-o-lanterns lit all Halloween night. 

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

A classic. It’s such a classic. 

Scream (1996)

If you haven’t guessed, this is my favorite movie of all time. It is playing in my home whether it’s October 31 or the middle of summer. 

Scream VI (2023)

The Scream movies age like fine wine. The latest 2023 film starring Jenna Ortega had Ghostface roaming the streets of N.Y.C.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)

You might know him from Harry Potter as Sirius Black, but first, he was Count Dracula. Gary Oldman stars in this incredible adaptation of Bram Stoker’s popular novel. 

The Craft (1996)

This cult classic, feminist movie was way ahead of its time. It also came out the day I was born. Not useful information by any means, but incredibly important for you to know!

Halloween (1978)

If any of these movies will keep you up at night, it is this one. 

Jennifer’s Body (2009)

All movies before this walked so Jennifer’s Body could run. In the past few years, this movie has resurfaced while gaining more and more popularity for the iconic film it is.

We Actually Do Want This: ‘Nobody Wants This’ Renewed for Season 2

0

We have all gotten exactly what we wanted– Netflix announced the renewal of Nobody Wants This, starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. Since the series was released on the platform on September 26, the show has received an incredible following. And how could it not? It felt like Seth Cohen (Adam Brody in The O.C.) was back on our TV screens all these years later with Kristen Bell shining brightly beside him.

Nobody Wants This follows Noah (Adam Brody), a rabbi, and Joanne (Kristen Bell), an agnostic woman, as they develop an unlikely relationship that captures everyone from the start. Fans took to Instagram to voice exactly how they feel, with one fan commenting, “Why is it called Nobody Wants This when it’s all I want right now?” Another fan said, “I’m warning you if you don’t give us a season 2 I’m leaving a one star review for Netflix every day for a YEAR.”

It seems Netflix listened. The platform announced a week ago that the hit new show would return for Season 2. 

“The world is healing, one Adam Brody at a time,” one fan responded to the news.

Show creator Erin Foster recently interviewed with Netflix about the inspiration behind the show. She told the platform, “This show is based on the only good decision I ever made: falling for a nice Jewish boy. But I realized that being happy is way harder than being miserable— there’s nothing to complain about. So, I created this show based on all the ways that finding the right person can be so hard.”

Season 2 of Nobody Wants This is set to release in 2025. Follow Netflix’s page for more updates.

Radio Times magazine reported in December 2023 that Steven Knight shared filming for the new movie was beginning this year. “I’m just working on the final bits of it at the moment. I just sit down at the keyboard and start. It’s a bit like having a dream, for me. You sit there and all this stuff comes, and then you read it back and think, ‘That’s pretty good – but where did it come from?” Knight told Radio Times magazine. “The plan is to start shooting that in the middle of next year.”

Tom Harper is set to direct the new film, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Barry Keoghan and Rebecca Ferguson are confirmed for the movie so far, apart from Murphy.

Netflix took to Twitter to release the first look of Cillian Murphy back in the upcoming Peaky Blinders film. Not only did they give their audience a photo of Cillian Murphy, but also Murphy alongside Steven Knight, creator of the BBC show. 

Fans took to the platforms to show their excitement with some saying, “This one will be good for sure,” and others noting, “The reunion of Cillian Murphy and Steven Knight on set for the upcoming *Peaky Blinders* film is thrilling news for fans! With production officially underway, there’s a lot of excitement about how the story will continue and what new developments await Tommy Shelby…”

Not much has been released about the film apart from what Knight shared at The Royal Television Society’s London Convention.

“It’s set in the second world war and it’s really good.”
