Happy Halloween!

🎃 October dispatch from Sparrow House 👻

Hi friends,

It’s been a minute! I’ll be back with a Fall newsletter, but in the meantime, I wanted to pop in and wish you a Happy Halloween! My favorite time of the year.

October has always been my favorite month (shocking, right?) I love everything about spooky season. The weather, the clothing, the food, the music; in fact, here’s a haunting ambient playlist to set the tone.

Nosferatu poppin’ in to wish you a Happy Halloween filled with treats.

My Nosferatu character got the chance to spend an October Sunday haunting Governor’s Island for FilmShop’s Toon Gulch series, where we screened Nosferatu: In The Beginning.

Nosferatu wooshing his way over to Governor’s Island on the Brooklyn ferry. I couldn’t make the screening myself, but he reported back that a good time was had by all.

Tim & I watch a lot of horror year-round, but 2025 has brought some especially strong horror releases. Bring Her Back might be my favorite so far. You can check out my Letterboxd if you’d like to swap favorites or see what’s been on my watchlist.

I’ll be back soon with some updates + a fall film fest roundup, including the Oscar-qualifying Woodstock Film Fest.

Until then, stay spooky!

🖤, A
