🎃Happy October
If there’s one thing to take away from this list it’s that you should watch Over the Garden Wall which is perfect for the spooky season. It’s an animated tv series about two brothers who get lost in a forest called the Unknown on Halloween night. Light hearted but layered with a lil sinister story telling. (Or Labyrinth with David Bowie is always a classic)
