The series revolves around bad people, sex, and the alien Cenobites; a race of beings obsessed with torture and pain, boasting some of the world’s most terrifying and vibrant designs. The reboot stars Jaime Clayton as pinhead and Odessa A’zion as the unfortunate person who finds the iconic mystery box.

Lastly, there’s no better Halloween recommendation than “The Witch,” a film responsible for launching two great talents: Anya Taylor Joy and director Robert Eggers. The film, which calls itself a “New England fairytale” in its opening moments, follows a family whose youngest child goes missing, and the growing certainty that the eldest daughter is a witch.
