This year’s edition of our annual Halloween series may be our wildest yet!
Two Cents is an original column akin to a book club for films. The Cinapse team will program films and contribute our best, most insightful, or most creative thoughts on each film using a maximum of 200 words each. Guest writers and fan comments are encouraged, as are suggestions for future entries to the column. Join us as we share our two cents on films we love, films we are curious about, and films we believe merit some discussion.
Announcing our full lineup for Two Cents Film Club’s annual TRICK OR TREAT Halloween series!
It’s our favorite time of the year here at Two Cents! Every October we try to top ourselves in curating a diverse series of spooky picks both new and old, from cult classics and major favorites to deep cuts from dark corners, and invite our readers to join in on the fun!
