Stranger Things Is Over, but, the Upside Down Has a Gift Shop!
Hawkins has survived monsters, government conspiracies, five seasons of questionable parenting, and stranger things. Its greatest achievement, however, might be becoming the world’s most marketable supernatural disaster.

Happy Stranger Things Day: Celebrating The Worst Moment For Will Byers!
Ten years after Stranger Things premiered, November 6 still brings us back to Hawkins. The series has ended, the arguments haven’t, and I have absolutely no intentioof letting anyone else’s opinion ruin a decade of loving it. There are plenty of perfectly reasonable things to celebrate on November 6. Birthdays, anniversaries, and the fact that stores have finally discounted Halloween candy to prices that reflect its actual nutritional value all qualify.

They’re evil. We’re not.
The Midnight Book Release Is Back & I Didn’t Realize How Much I Missed It.
Sarah J. Maas’s next A Court of Thorns and Roses novel is bringing midnight parties, exclusive merchandise, and readers back to bookstores. For those of us who grew up waiting for Harry Potter, the excitement feels wonderfully familiar. Apparently, the midnight book release is making a comeback.

Sunrise on the Reaping’s New Posters Reveal the Capitol’s Darkest Problem — and Billy Porter Makes It Worse
The Capitol has always known how to make a nightmare look like a national holiday. Give it a few elaborate costumes, a celebrity host, and enough pageantry to distract from the children being sent to their deaths, and suddenly mass murder becomes must-see television. With The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping arriving November 20, Lionsgate has unveiled 14 new character posters showcasing the film’s sprawling ensemble.

The Encore Isn’t More Life of a Showgirl. It’s Taylor Swift Looking Back at It From the Other Side
“Patient Zero,” “Pink Clouding,” “Cleveland!” and “Babylon” were written after Taylor Swift had already lived with The Life of a Showgirl for another year. Together, they sound less like bonus tracks than what happens when you finally have enough distance to understand the life you were writing about.
