“In The Living Room” was written in March 2023, when Rogers and her co-writer/co-producer Ian Fitchuk “were back in the studio and decided to try for one more song,” she explained in a statement. “Like so much of the album, it’s a song about the beauty and pain of memory, and the way that interweaves with reality when you’re processing the exit of a person in your life. Ultimately, Don’t Forget Me as an album is about how we remember people, and the stories we tell ourselves in the process of creating new realities.”

The late MF DOOM may not have been the best known hip-hop artist during his life, but while he was still around, he dropped some undisputed underground classics. One of those classics was 2004’s MM..FOOD, his fifth studio album. A concept album revolving around double entendre references to comestibles, MM..FOOD is widely held as one of rap’s most creative projects of the backpack era, expanding on the idea of what rap could and should be.
On November 15th, Rhymesayers will reissue the album in honor of its 20th anniversary with special-edition apparel, toys (of course), and vinyl records featuring all new artwork by artist Sam Rodriguez. Here’s everything that will be included:
– A limited deluxe edition double LP, which will come with a bonus 7″ featuring the rare original version of “Kookies” and its Just Blaze-produced remix.
– A reissue of the “Hoe Cakes” 12″, which has been out-of-print for some years, pressed on a “bug juice blend” colored vinyl with its original artwork.
– A digital deluxe version of MM..FOOD with rare remixes of “One Beer” and “Hoe Cakes” by Madlib, Jake One, and Ant. The Madlib “One Beer” remix is up top.
– A Super7 action figure inspired by the album cover. It’ll come with a 33 oz. cereal bowl and matching spoon. MMMM, cereal.
– The apparel collection, which has shirts, hoodies, hats, and aprons. Additionally, there’s some cool accessories like tote bags, lighters, and record slipmats.
Santa Cruz hardcore group Scowl have found a place in their scene since debuting in 2019; They have a handful of releases under their belt and they’ve opened for acts like Deftones and Turnstile. They’ve just reached another major milestone: Scowl just landed a new label home by signing with Dead Oceans.
To celebrate the big step, the band has shared a new single, “Special,” today (October 8). Singer Kat Moss says of the song:
“Originally, Malachi [Greene, guitarist] sent in the demo while we were touring the UK. Cole [Gilbert] added his flare on drums, Bailey [Lupo, bassist] directed the bridge, and finally, Mikey [Bifolco, guitarist] cooked up his leads. ‘Special’ is a kamikaze. The lyrics are about threatening the audience by asking, ‘What do you really want,’ in clear desperation to answer my own question, ‘What do I really want?’ But the answer is simple: I want to feel alive.”
The band’s first release was a self-titled EP in 2019. Their second EP, Reality After Reality…, arrived later that year, and that was followed by their debut album, How Flowers Grow, in 2021. They also had a third EP, Psychic Dance Routine, in 2023; Uproxx named that release one of the most-anticipated indie albums of that spring.
Ben Stiller didn’t exactly expect the expensive Severance to be a major hit, to the point where audiences have been not-so-patiently waiting for more. At least, that’s the sentiment that can be gleaned from Stiller’s latest updates on the status of the show’s arguably overdue return to Apple TV+. The Lumon Industries-illuminating series first premiered in January 2022, and although viewers would have been accustomed to a standard-ish two-year wait, that mark has clearly passed, but do not fear. The team of Mark, Irving, Helly, and Dylan will be back in action after that cliffhanger ending where the first three in that group took an illicit trip as Innies In The Outie world.
The quartet is gearing up to return to their desks, where they will hopefully figure out what they have really been doing while sorting numbers on a computer screen. In the meantime, Apple TV+ is also working on more Silo and Presumed Innocent, so there’s plenty of good stuff coming, from sci-fi to legal thriller, for those who are hanging tight for other second seasons to bingeworthy shows. Sometimes it can be rough to be a TV fan, but let’s get down to business on what Lumon has in store for us next.
Plot
First, director Ben Stiller would like a word. Following prominent inquiries on social media, he’s well aware that that has perhaps taken too long, and he explained to Variety that this thing (TV success) is rather new to him: “I’ve never been through it before — a second season of anything,” he admitted. “Everything I’ve done has gotten canceled back in the day. But, you know, I feel like there’s an expectation that the audience has — that they should have if they love something. For us, it’s just been the process of trying to live up to our expectation of what we think the show should be and commit to that.”
With that said, he empathizes on why people might be “frustrated,” and “I understand that feeling of the expectation.” However, he and creator Dan Erickson are treating this process painstakingly, to the point “where the characters really start to have a life and the actors understand the characters so well, and it grows into something more.”
This takes a bit of pressure off Adam Scott, who could previously really only tell People that the second season would be “great.” (Poor Adam Scott.)
Next up, Apple TV+ provided the tiniest of synopses:
“In season two, Mark and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe.”
So, we can gather that Mark (Adam Scott), Helly (Britt Lower), and Irving (John Turturro) will probably not be made to forget their exploratory trip to the Outie realm. And this will not go unpunished after Dylan (Zach Cherry) got tackled by Milchick (Tramell Tillman) in the control room, but we don’t know the ramifications of Mark learning that his “dead” spouse was actually the Lumon wellness counselor, Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachmen), who is in trouble, too.
Well, we do know that the story will at least be complicated by Innie Mark beginning a romance with Innie Helly, which spawns an unofficial love triangle. As a result, Stiller has suggested that Mark’s desire to leave severance is now bogged down by multiple wrinkles.
Finally, John Turturro, who portrays Irving, has further promised that “[w]e are delving into the unknown that the audience is waiting for, and then doing it incrementally.” Well, the pressure is on when the buildup has been so long, and we can only hope that we’ll be surprised by a tiny flashback from Petey (Yul Vasquez), even though Lumon presumably took him out.
Cast
New recruits are aboard, or perhaps they are Lumon veterans who we are meeting now, but there are eight additions including the generally imposing (in roles) Gwendoline Christie and Alia Shawkat (a wildcard in a cast if there ever was one). Additionally, Merritt Wever, John Noble, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Stefano Carannante, and Robby Benson are onboarding.
The core quartet — Adam Scott, John Turturro, Britt Lower, and Zach Cherry — are back on the work schedule. We will also see Dichen Lachman, Patricia Arquette, Christopher Walken, Michael Chernus, Tramell Tillman, and Jen Tullock back in the office.
Release Date
January 17, 2025. It’s officially happening, people. Get ready for 10 new weekly episodes.
Trailer
Gwendoline Christie has arrived, and you know what it means when Lucifer from The Sandman shows up and tells the core characters that they “should have left.” (Nothing good.)
Glitchy Mark is also shown here with beautiful blue balloons that unfortunately resemble his Lumon Industries paperweight.
The New York Jets have fired Robert Saleh after a lackluster performance in London against the now 5-0 Minnesota Vikings. Saleh was on the hot seat coming into the season, and a 2-3 start when the team felt it had assembled a contender was not good enough in the eyes of the Jets. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will serve as the Jets interim head coach for the remainder of the season, as they hope to turn their fortunes around and get back in the playoff hunt.
Even with how bad things have felt, the Jets are only a game back of the Bills in the AFC East and still believe they should be a contender this year and beyond as long as Aaron Rodgers is under center. It’s possible Ulbrich will right the ship and earn himself the full time job this offseason, but should the Jets continue treading water and not make any noise in the playoffs, you’d expect owner Woody Johnson and the front office to begin a full coaching search. What will be fascinating if they do open things up is what kind of coach they want to get.
That is likely dependent on what they think of Rodgers after this season. If he looks good and will be coming back, I’d expect them to go with a veteran head coach, and likely one with more of a defensive pedigree because we know Rodgers has his preferred offense and would likely want Nathaniel Hackett to remain on board. If Rodgers never really gets it going, even if he’s back for one more year, the Jets may do what most teams do in this situation, which is chase an offensive mind to open things up after firing a defensive coach. Here, we’ll look at five candidates on both sides of that coin who should figure into the Jets interview process in 2025.
Bill Belichick
Belichick is going to be linked to any team that has playoff potential. The Jets not only check all the boxes for what the future Hall of Famer would want out of a team on the field, but they also would present a unique opportunity to stick it to Robert Kraft and the Patriots a bit by joining a divisional rival. Belichick didn’t exactly leave the Pats on the best of terms, so joining the Jets (where he was once the head coach for literally one day) would be quite the move. The question, of course, is whether the Jets want to go with a coach who isn’t likely going to be around for a long time in his next stint, but that could also be said about their QB, so pairing those two for one last run might make some sense.
Ben Johnson
On the other end of the spectrum from Belichick is Lions OC Ben Johnson, who would give them a young, up-and-coming offensive coach who passed on job offers this past summer to give it one more go with a Lions team he felt could win a Super Bowl. Whether or not that happens this year in Detroit, Johnson should be one of the top candidates again in this upcoming cycle and if the Jets are seeking an offensive mind to take over, they could do much worse than Johnson, who has designed an offense that gets the most out of Jared Goff and the Lions skill position players. On top of that, he should have learned well from Dan Campbell about building a strong culture in a place that’s lacked that for years, which would benefit the Jets tremendously.
Brian Flores
The whole suing the NFL thing makes it hard to figure exactly how teams will view Flores as a head coaching candidate right now, but there is no doubting his work in Minnesota as defensive coordinator. He has the Vikings defense terrorizing opposing offenses — including the Jets in London last week — and is doing some incredible stuff in terms of disguising and changing coverages and looks before and after the snap. What that shows is that he is getting a ton of buy-in from the guys in Minnesota, because it takes full commitment from everyone on that defense to do the things he’s asking them to do. His time in Miami wasn’t great, but he also wasn’t exactly given a real opportunity to succeed. If the Jets want to stick with a defensive mind given the makeup of their team, Flores should be near the top of the list.
Bobby Slowik
The Texans offensive coordinator has been, like Johnson, a hot name on the coaching market for the past year, and as Houston keeps plugging away with CJ Stroud and company looking good once again, he figures to factor even more into the interview process this offseason. As noted earlier, teams tend to look at the other side of the ball after firing their coach, but the big question Slowik or Johnson would have in interviews is whether Rodgers is going to insist on keeping his guy, Nathaniel Hackett, on board as OC. If that’s the case, I’d expect another defensive coach running the show, because an offensive guy should not be willing to take this job if they can’t be hands on with the offense to the degree they’d want/need to.
Mike Vrabel
I was surprised when Vrabel didn’t seem to get any interest after being let go by Tennessee this offseason, but his Titans teams were always competitive — even if not particularly explosive offensively. If establishing a culture is something top of mind for the Jets brass with their new hire, I’d expect Vrabel to be in the mix, and he’d also probably be fine keeping Rodgers’ preferred offensive system around.
Indie music has grown to include so much. It’s not just music that is released on independent labels, but speaks to an aesthetic that deviates from the norm and follows its own weirdo heart. It can come in the form of rock music, pop, or folk. In a sense, it says as much about the people that are drawn to it as it does about the people that make it.

Drug Church – Prude
It’s time to go back to Drug Church. Prude, the fifth album from the Albany, New York-bred hardcore heroes, confronts quotidian mundanities and theatrical landmarks in equal measure. It’s populated by a cast of characters who experience everything from becoming a finance bro to getting shot while attempting robbery. Nothing is too boring or too ridiculous for frontman Patrick Kindlon to use as lyrical fodder; everything is up for grabs, and it gives Drug Church’s boisterous, bold punk songs a humanistic bent.
Half Waif – See You At The Maypole
Grief permeates every corner of See You At The Maypole. Nandi Rose, as Half Waif, has often used her music as a conduit for healing, whether that be for herself or for others. Her latest album dives into the grieving process – for her miscarriage, for her mother-in-law’s pancreatic cancer diagnosis – so that Rose can rise from all of it, renewed with a deeper understanding of how to move forward. She’s said that this record is a “story of finding a way back again.” From the sound of it, such as the steady rhythms guiding “Collect Color” and her gossamer, rich vocal harmonies on “Dust,” she has.
Aphex Twin – “Rhubarb Orc. 19.53 Rev”
Richard D. James, otherwise known as Aphex Twin, is perhaps best-known for his pair of Selected Ambient Works albums. Because of their influence, Warp Records has reissued the second installment, 1994’s Selected Ambient Works Volume II. It partly consists of previously unreleased and newly reimagined material, such as “Rhubarb Orc. 19.53 Rev,” a novel take on “#3” from the original LP. Just like that album defied genre norms 30 years ago, James’ reworking of “#3” likewise flouts established conventions, playing with the listener’s pre-existing knowledge of the track and upending expectations with swooning, swelling, and sweeping synths.
Wild Pink – Dulling The Horns
Wild Pink’s fifth album, Dulling The Horns, sounds anything but dull. Ringleader John Ross’ songwriting has never been sharper, as the New York musician has refined his strain of heartland rock to its most affecting apogee. The baritone guitars are dense and gritty, the choruses are anthemic and riveting, and Ross’ pen is plain-spoken yet profound. Prolonging a streak of heaters dating back to 2017’s self-titled LP, Dulling The Horns is Wild Pink’s wild peak.
Waxahatchee – “Much Ado About Nothing”
One of the main contenders for album of the year goes to Katie Crutchfield’s sterling alt-country opus Tigers Blood, the sixth album from Waxahatchee. The Kansas City resident is already back with a new single, “Much Ado About Nothing,” and it’s a stunner. She’s been performing it live on her most recent tour, and, fortunately, it has now received an official release. Surrounded by her regular coterie of collaborators – MJ Lenderman, Brad Cook, Phil Cook – Crutchfield sounds radiant.
Florist – “This Was A Gift”
“Only the dead survive,” Emily Sprague sings in the chorus of “This Was A Gift,” the latest single from Florist. The indie-folk four-piece has always espoused the tenets of chosen family and the importance of close community, as evinced on their self-titled 2022 double album. That idea finds a more succinct vessel on their new song, which Sprague says in a press release is about “enduring difficult seasons of life with the people that we keep close.” Hardship comes for us all at some point or another, but with loved ones beside us, maybe we can weather the storm. Even the dead will survive.
The Weather Station – “Neon Signs”
On 2021’s Ignorance, Tamara Lindeman reckoned with the destruction that climate change has brought upon our lives. As the Weather Station, Lindeman explored how it affects our interior and exterior worlds, how the demolition of these places we call home begets a burdensome grief. Humanhood, the seventh Weather Station album, arriving early next year, dives deeper into the pain of manmade disasters, and how capitalism, incessant advertising, and corporate greed thrives in times of strife. “I went walking in a punishing heat / Nobody meets my eyes except with witty signs / And luxury designs,” Lindeman sings on lead single “Neon Signs,” her featherlight voice belying her weighty observations. Even when things feel heavy, the Weather Station arrives as a balm, shining like a lighthouse in a devastating seastorm.
Yasmin Williams – Acadia
Yasmin Williams plays guitar like no one else. Having realized she was much better at Guitar Hero II while holding the controller in her lap, she then learned to play the real thing that way, too. Shredding has never sounded so beautiful, melodic, or even peaceful; it’s one of the reasons that Williams is one of the best performers I’ve ever had the fortune to witness live. On her third record, Acadia, she expands her sound to include a wider range of collaborators – even vocalists! – and stylistic flourishes that elevate her work to new heights. There’s faint, distorted guitar on “Dream Lake” that slowly blossoms into a solo; the metronomic groove of “Nectar” adds a solid, rhythmic cadence to Williams’ filigreed finger-picking; and “Hummingbird” flits like its titular animal with Allison de Groot’s buzzy banjo and Tatiana Hargreaves’ frenetic fiddle. Acadia, sonically, is a bigger and bolder record than its forerunners, and its ambitions unequivocally pay off.
Dawn Richard & Spencer Zahn – Quiet In A World Full Of Noise
One of the best albums of 2022 was Pigments, the surprising collaboration between pop vocalist Dawn Richard and classical composer Spencer Zahn. Thankfully, Pigments was not a one-off occurrence. Richard and Zahn’s new joint album, Quiet In A World Full Of Noise, is as gorgeous, hypnotic, and stirring as its predecessor. It’s a record that lives up to its striking title; amid a world full of noise, Richard and Zahn offer a soothing salve. Built largely on ambient piano, strings, brass, and Richard’s spellbinding voice, the duo’s second album is a true marvel.
Geordie Greep – The New Sound
This is, quite literally, Geordie Greep’s new sound. Just over a week after saying his band Black Midi was “indefinitely over,” Greep announced his solo debut album. Aptly titled The New Sound, Greep takes Black Midi’s proggy, math-rock milieu to its logical endpoint: jazzy, abrasive Broadway numbers about down-on-their-luck incels. From the salsa-inflected lead single “Holy, Holy” to the Steely Dan-indebted instrumental title track, Greep’s first record sans Midi is a heady, bewildering, and intoxicating endeavor.
While “Garmonbozia” is a woozy, synthy track, “Ingo Swann” goes in a different direction. It’s driven by a thumping beat and is more of a dance-ready house number.
The two songs are Flying Lotus’ first new music since “The Room” in 2022. He’s been busy, though: Also in 2022, it was announced that his Brainfeeder Films had signed a multi-movie deal with Logical Pictures and XYZ Film. One of them, Ash, stars Aaron Paul and Eiza González. Earlier this year, Amazon’s Prime Video purchased the international rights to the film, which is described as a sci-fi thriller. Deadline relays, “Gonzalez will play a woman who wakes up on a distant planet and finds the crew of her space station viciously killed. She must decide whether she can trust the man (Paul) sent to rescue her.” So, there’s plenty more to come from FlyLo.

Coldplay — “All My Love”
Ah, it all makes sense. In late September, Chris Martin sang what appeared to be impromptu karaoke at Dino’s Lounge in Las Vegas. He wore coke bottle glasses and a wig. He gifted a balloon to an onlooker. Why would he do that? We now know it was all for Coldplay’s “All My Love” official lyric video. In typical Coldplay form, the ballad is as beautifully earnest as the video. And soak it up while you can, as Martin spelled out the remaining timeline for Coldplay while visiting with Jimmy Fallon.
Lisa — “Moonlit Floor”
Blackpink’s Lisa is on a heater. “Rockstar” reinforced her solo star power. “New Woman” featuring Rosalía doubled down. Now, “Moonlit Floor” expounds upon Lisa’s impressive versatility. The upbeat single is Lisa’s take on Sixpence None The Richer’s 1998 pop-rock hit “Kiss Me,” even interpolating the chorus — with a few clever changes. The original “Kiss Me” chorus is, “Kiss me beneath the milky twilight / Lead me out on the moonlit floor”; In the “Moonlit Floor” chorus, Lisa sings, “Kiss me under the Paris twilight / Kiss me out on the moonlit floor.” Nostalgic and refreshing simultaneously.
Joe Jonas — “What This Could Be”
Joe Jonas postponed Music For People Who Believe In Love. His solo LP was supposed to be released on October 4, but he dropped “What This Could Be” instead. The hopeful song finds Jonas willing to open himself up to love again because, as he sings, “our hearts are made / For making mistakes, more than a few / Dreams not a lie, it’s okay to be fools / And say some dumb sh*t that might not come true / I’d give up my peace of mind to lose my mind again with you.” Jonas co-write the single with Dan Nigro (who also produced it) and Feist. “What This Could Be” follows “Work It Out,” and both songs are more than enough to tide fans over until Jonas is ready to release Music For People Who Believe In Love.
JoJo — “Porcelain”
JoJo sampling Dr. Luke’s “I Wanna Rock”? In the Year of the Lord 2024? Absolutely. The pulsating beat doesn’t overshadow JoJo’s vulnerable message: “The moment I got rid of everything / I realized that I was my worst enemy / I had to break it / And rearrange it / And turn into a beautiful mosaic / I saw a problem / I had to change it I left my sadness in fragments / Porcelain.” As per press release, “‘Porcelain’ echoes many of the themes covered” in Over The Influence, JoJo’s New York Times best-selling memoir.
Finneas — “Lotus Eater”
Finneas’ “Lotus Eater” video begins with a close-up shot of Pac-Man, immediately establishing the vibes as immaculate. We find Finneas singing in front of a fireplace. The Grammy-winning producer is at the whims of gravity and a beautiful woman in equal measure, as he delivers the hushed chorus: “Grab my wrist ’til your knuckles are white / It’s a brand-new kiss in the same old light / In a Friday bliss on a Sunday night / I wanna feel like this ’til I feel alright.” The catchy, melodic single acts as a strong closer for For Cryin’ Out Loud!, Finneas’ sophomore solo LP.
Lizzy McAlpine — “Spring Into Summer”
Lizzy McAlpine’s Older (And Wiser) deluxe album is an exceptional punctuation mark on her already-exceptional Older LP from April. “Spring Into Summer” is a lovely acoustic-based ballad about an inextricable, romantic bond. The aching, nuanced storytelling is a seamless continuation of “Pushing It Down And Praying,” the preceding Older (And Wiser) single.
Perrie — “You Go Your Way”
Perrie (also known as Perrie Edwards) took a page from her Little Mix groupmate Jade’s book and released a solo banger. “You Go Your Way” retraces the early days of her relationship with Perrie’s fiancé, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. On the surface, Perrie is confident in her independence and encouraging someone to “go on and get over me.” But as Perrie relayed to Heart Breakfast, the shimmery single is rooted in her trusting in fate bringing her and Oxlade-Chamberlain together.
Thủy — “Fairy Godmother”
When Thủy announced Wings, she captioned her Instagram post, “After Coachella, I felt like I lost my gut instinct and my ability to trust myself.” Her third project is here and proves that she should never again doubt her instincts. “Fairy Godmother” spotlights Thủy’s breathy, pristine vocals. The Bay Area-bred artist openly admits to someone she just can’t quit them and delves into lust.
Nick Ward — “Go!”
“Control” stamped Nick Ward as one to watch, and House With The Blue Door, his debut album, proved he’s here to stay. The Australian artist chose wisely when he made “Go!” his next single. In beautiful irony, Ward’s lyrics about crippling social anxiety are paired with soothing instrumentals. Ward oozes charisma, with a unique melodic delivery and fearless approach to vulnerable subject matter.
Livingston — “Look Mom I Can Fly”
I’m choosing to end this on an infectiously positive note. Livingston’s “Look Mom I Can Fly” is lyrically boundless and sonically emphatic. The Denton, Texas native reminisces on childlike wonder (“We used to feel like giants / Built castles in the silence / We were king and queen until we opened up our eyelids”) before giving himself permission to dream again (“Make me believe I’m gonna reach the clouds / ‘Cause I just wanna feel alive”). Livingston sings on behalf of everyone who knows that growing up is overrated.
Yesterday, TMZ reported that Kanye West and Bianca Censori “split up a few weeks ago” and are “possibly headed for divorce.” That may no longer be the case.
The married (?) couple were spotted together in a Tokyo mall on Tuesday. “At one point, Censori put her hands around her husband’s face as they took the escalator up to another floor,” according to Page Six. “She also had her arm wrapped around his as they walked into a store.” It was the first time West and Censori were photographed with each other in public since mid-September.
Does this mean they’re back together? Were they ever apart? All we know is what we see in photos and hear from anonymous insiders, including one who told The Daily Mail that West and Censori have been “drifting apart.”
They continued, “Bianca started to see the relationship in a new light when her friends and family voiced concerns about the way she was dressing in public and Kanye felt that she wasn’t as into him as she was in the beginning. There are no hard feelings but she couldn’t ignore her family when they asked her to explain the stranger parts of their relationship. They have broken up before so there is a chance they’ll reunite.” It may have already happened.
Hugh Grant isn’t exactly new to villainy. Daniel Cleaver in Bridget Jones’s Diary? Secret villain. Phoenix Buchanan in Paddington 2? Adorable villain. Jonathan Fraser in The Undoing? Villain who could use a kick in the crotch.
Then there’s A24’s upcoming Heretic, in which Hugh Grant isn’t messing around anymore with a character who is pretending not to be a bad guy. Instead, he’s all up in his villainy by terrorizing Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets, The Boogeyman) and Chloe East (Generation, Popular Theory), who portray Mormon missionaries who chose the wrong door when Grant’s Mr. Reed invites them in and doesn’t let them leave through the front entrance. Instead, they must pass through his house of horrors if they wish to survive. It’s not looking good for them, sad to say.
Written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (The Boogeyman, A Quiet Place), this horror-fest arrives with a simple synopsis: “Two young missionaries are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant), becoming ensnared in his deadly game of cat-and-mouse.”
Heretic arrives in theaters on Nov. 8 (before Harris Dickinson and Nicole Kidman’s A24 erotic thriller, Babygirl) because spooky season can last forever.
