Marielle SabbagPublished 6 months ago in GeeksThe Spectacular History of "Treehouse of Horror"
One of the things I love the most about Halloween is, of course, "Treehouse of Horror," the annual Halloween-themed episode of The Simpsons. Seriously, how can you not love "Treehouse of Horror"? It's the one episode out of the season that breaks away from the norm (or close to it) of a typical Simpsons episode. The episode always consisted of three segments with different storylines, often using a horror or sci-fi theme, though recent years have borrowed from popular movies, regardless of genre.
Clyde E. DawkinsPublished 6 months ago in GeeksGen V
We are rounding to a close on the first season of Gen V and it has been a well paced rollercoaster. I am very invested in this show. The younger characters are written very well and are easy to connect to. I like seeing the younger generation get a handle on their powers and struggle with their morality before they are grown up and Vought pushes them into the spotlight. When we last left off in episode 6 with our group now popped back into the real world and out of Cate’s mind. Our latest plot development is that the virus that The Woods has been producing and testing on Supes isn’t really about controlling them or even making them sick, it's about killing them. Dean Sheddy is hoping this virus can be made contagious to theoretically eradicate the Supes from the world. I don’t think I’m reaching in saying that we can probably expect another death before the end of the season.

In addition to all the wonderful new TV that is being released on streaming there is a comfort in rewatching things you’ve already seen. I, for example, am in a constant state of rewatching One Tree Hill, Grey’s Anatomy and Gilmore Girls and this fall is no different. But there are some shows that are just meant to be rewatched in the fall. So here are the shows that we are in the middle of rewatching and ones we saved specifically for the cold days.
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished 6 months ago in GeeksThe Haunting of Bly Manor
The Haunting of Bly Manor is the second Mike Flanagan project we watched after absolutely loving the Haunting of Hill House. This series is slightly shorter than Hill House at 9 episodes all an hour long. Bly Manor took what we loved from Hill House and put it on steroids from the lighting to the camera work. Flanagan's directorial style makes the horror genre something incredible.

"Worth the risk?...What would you do?" How often have you thought about the possibility of taking one pill per each day that would maximize your brain’s full potential?
