I’m so excited for fellow anime fans! Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc absolutely killed it in its opening weekend, bringing in $8.5 million from Friday and previews across 3,003 theaters! It officially hit US cinemas on October 24, 2025, but Crunchyroll subscribers got a sneak peek on Wednesday, October 22nd. This is huge for Sony and Crunchyroll, especially following the amazing success they had with Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle! It’s their biggest win since Bad Boys: Ride or Die last year, which just proves how much appetite there is for great anime in theaters!

While the new Demon Slayer movie faced criticism for feeling rushed and having a confusing story, many viewers thought a television series would have been a better choice, leading some to believe it was made simply to make money. In contrast, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc was praised for staying true to a popular story from the original manga. Unlike Demon Slayer, which many found disappointing, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc successfully adapted its source material and was widely considered a success.

The second season of Nobody Wants This is now available on Netflix, perfect for a Halloween binge! Viewers can once again enjoy performances by Bellamy Young and Kyle Brody, along with other talented cast members like Stephanie Faracy, who plays Lynn, Joanne’s quirky mother. While Faracy has a long history in film and TV, many will recognize her as Jenny Dennison, the mother of Max and Dani, from the original Hocus Pocus movie.

Michael Myers is responsible for a huge number of deaths throughout the Halloween franchise—over 160, if you count the different timelines. The 2018 timeline, which includes the original film and the recent trilogy directed by David Gordon Green, features his highest kill count with 69 victims. However, when it comes to kills per movie, the Rob Zombie films are the most violent, totaling 31 deaths in just two installments. While Rob Zombie movies are known for their brutality, many fans consider the most shocking death to occur in the original 1981 sequel, Halloween II.

The actor has quickly become a major star in Hollywood, appearing in popular films like Anyone but You, Top Gun: Maverick, and Twisters. This success has sparked a lot of fan interest in seeing him join the Marvel Cinematic Universe or James Gunn’s DC Universe.

AMC’s new series, Talamasca, begins October 26th and is part of the same universe as their adaptations of Anne Rice’s novels, including the critically acclaimed Interview With the Vampire (returning for a third season) and Mayfair Witches (also renewed). All these stories are linked by the Talamasca, a secret organization that monitors supernatural beings – vampires, witches, ghosts, and demons – acting as both researchers and spies. While knowing the background from those other shows might be helpful, it’s not essential. However, Talamasca doesn’t quite feel developed enough to work as a standalone series. The first season, consisting of only six episodes, feels stretched out with unnecessary side plots and hints at a future mystery. A particularly drawn-out nightclub scene, meant to be alluring, didn’t land – and honestly, even Charmed had more exciting moments.

Okay, so Garchomp was already a beast back in the Gen 4 games, being a pseudo-legendary and all. But its Mega Evolution? Seriously takes it to another level! It’s way stronger, both when attacking and defending. Honestly, Mega Garchomp is one of the best Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. The best part? I was able to unlock it pretty early on in the game, and it didn’t take a ton of work or completing a bunch of quests. Super convenient!
