As Blogtober draws to a close (sad), here is the traditional closing post: A round-up of horror, horror-adjacent, or otherwise October appropriate flicks enjoyed throughout the month.

Ambient video channels on YouTube are sort of a take on the ole televised yule log, featuring scenes with small movements and light sounds, i.e., a page turns every now and again, and often, relaxing lo-fi beats. (For those of us of a certain age: we used to call it smooth jazz).

Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew's flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth's day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region. In the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater's formation.
