Venom
At long last, the Marvel spinoff you have been waiting for has arrived. “Following a scandal, journalist Eddie Brock attempts to revive his career by investigating the Life Foundation, but comes into contact with an alien symbiote that bonds with Brock. Together, they must work to stop other Symbiotes from infecting all of humanity, taking on the shared moniker Venom.” This much-anticipated film comes to theaters October 5th.
If you’re searching for a spooky movie to scare your socks off this fall, look no further. In this epic sequel, Mike Myers returns October 19th for a final encounter. “Laurie Strode comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.”
Book of the Month
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
In honor of this classically spooky month, why not check out one of our all time fall favorites here at the Hunter’s Glen blog. The Harry Potter saga follows a wizard boy (Harry) who is destined to be a hero before he can even walk or talk. Goblet of Fire, the most critically acclaimed of the series, is an all-time classic.
“Harry Potter is midway through his training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup. He wants to find out about the mysterious event that's supposed to take place at Hogwarts this year, an event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. But unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal - even by wizarding standards. And in his case, different can be deadly.”
