You Can't Sit With Us

With everyone's favorite spooky season officially in full swing, we sat down for a Ray Bradbury double feature with two film adaptations that take a sobering and honest look at aging and mortality from the eyes of a child. Something Wicked This Way Comes and The Halloween Tree should be annual October watches for kids and adult alike, and we dive into everything from queer coded villains, to the representation of evil in human form (and what it says about religion - or lack thereof), to the importance of not patronizing the youth when it comes to the reality of death. Light your pumpkin spice candle, cuddle under a blanket, and enjoy the most wonderful time of the year!
