Tubi Halloween Picks
I like discovering something new among the old and Tubi has an assortment of horror films from cinema's past for just such an occasion.
Boner (2012)
Jimmy Boner, a 20-something slacker living with his parents, is given an ultimatum by his wicked stepmother to find a job and move out within 3 months after he accidentally walks in on her book club meeting wearing nothing but an iPod. Jimmy scrambles to find a job and lands an interview at a rundown, overworked accounting office where he meets Ivana, a recently-demoted corporate ice queen with whom Jimmy falls instantly in love. Through a miracle of fate, Jimmy gets the job despite having no marketable skills and puts his nose to the grindstone, working grueling hours and enduring Ivana's constant disappointment, in the hopes of impressing her and garnering her affections. Chaos, hilarity, and triumph ensue as Jimmy seeks to gain independence and find true love.

Escape White Suburbia in "The Gates"
The Gates, John Burr’s new thriller film, is a disturbingly realistic portrayal of three Black twenty-somethings - Derek (Mason Gooding), Kevin (Algee Smith), and Tyon (Keith Powers), as they accidentally take a wrong turn into a gated community that’s more like a modern-day sundown town. The three friends witness a variety of crimes in their new surroundings, including an attempted homicide and an attempted rape. As they attempt to alert the authorities and do the right thing, they are thwarted at every turn by the worst horror stories of American conservatism - racist white suburbanites, reckless gun violence, corrupt police, religious mania, and a megalomaniacal pastor.
