It’s my favorite time of year – Fall is here and Halloween is only days away. And one thing I love to do is curl up on the couch with a good book, especially one that’s a little eerie and spooky.

So, here below are my picks of 2013 books to read for All Hallow’s Read this Fall, which include titles from Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Joe Hill, and Kim Harrison, as well as H.P. Lovecraft, Frankenstein, and Dark Shadows stories, and more!

All Hallow’s Read: Halloween 2013 Reading Recommendations…

On last night’s episode of The Walking Dead, it seemed as though not much had happened, except that the people in the prison are getting sicker and sicker and there doesn’t seem to be a way to stop the spread of contagion. A quarantine is put into place, but segregation isn’t going to heal the sick – these people need medicine.

Daryl takes a group on a mission to get the necessary meds, but it’s a far ride and there’s lots of Walkers between their prison home and the veterinary college that hopefully has what they need.

During New York Comic-Con earlier this month, we got a sneak peek from this episode of the scene where Daryl and co are in a car driving and encounter a massive herd of Walkers. AMC has released this clip from Episode 4.3 “Isolation” online and you can watch it here below. I’ve also included two behind-the-scenes/making-of videos for the episode.

Lou Reed, the so-called godfather of punk, whose embryonic sounds of that genre and combinations of avant-garde dirty rock and roll helped propel him to become a legendary artist by way of The Velvet Underground and his own solo projects, has died at the age of 71, according to Rolling Stone. The cause of death is unknown at this time, but Reed had undergone a liver transplant back in May [see Update below].

For the Brooklyn-born Reed, it ends a life that was labyrinthine, filled with color and mayhem, sadness, poetry, tender regret, and razor sharp aggression. Reed took early rock and roll and doo wop, and mixed it with the sounds and styles of the mid 1960s, the Andy Warhol New York City which was crystallized by way of illicit drugs, adventurous sexuality and exploring themes, and going to places unknown; not even The Beatles tread to some of the naked, raw narratives that Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground went to in their songwriting.

You know director Wes Anderson for his quirky directing style and movies like The Royal Tenenbaums filled with awkward, anachronistic characters. But what if the American filmmaker were to make a horror movie? On last night’s Saturday Night Live, the sketch show gave us a tease of just what that would be like with a trailer for Wes Anderson’s The Midnight Coterie Of Sinister Intruders.

In the trailer, SNL host Edward Norton, who starred in Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom and will also appear in the director’s upcoming The Grand Budapest Hotel, plays Owen Wilson (a frequent Anderson collaborator) as a family man who’s home is invaded by 70’s suit-wearing masked killers carrying cleavers and an old record player. The spoof incorporates a lot from The Royal Tenenbaums, including a moody, smoking Gwyneth Paltrow.

Check out SNL’s trailer here below.
