"The beginning of a new month, the Movies Fantasy League unveiling this season's first leaderboard, and another Taylor Swift album: All three of these elicit a sense of fear on some level, which is very on brand for the Halloween season. We've got a handful of selections for the season, including vampires, dogs investigating the paranormal, and Ryan Murphy. There's also a Taylor Swift album-release event duking it out with Benny Safdie's The Smashing Machine in movie theaters this weekend."
"Directed by one half of the Safdie brothers, The Smashing Machine stars Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson as wrestler Mark Kerr. Set in the late '90s, this drama follows Kerr's transition into MMA fighting while balancing an opioid addiction and a tumultuous relationship with his girlfriend, Dawn (Emily Blunt, the Rock's Jungle Cruise co-star). After the huge celebration that was its 50th anniversary, Saturday Night Live returns with a new lineup and Bad Bunny on hosting duties with Doja Cat performing."
