The connection between The Simpsons and Halloween is strong, and this year promises an added dose of amusement.

Disclaimer* – October 11 (Apple TV+)
Despite the setback with the disappointing Borderlands film, I, as a dedicated fan, am eagerly anticipating Cate Blanchett’s return to her exceptional craft in the upcoming series Disclaimer*. In this new role, she portrays a highly esteemed journalist who uncovers a long-hidden truth about herself after receiving a mysterious book. The project is penned and helmed by the talented Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuarón.

Night Shyamalan, and the eerie vibe from the trailer suggests that there might be some mysterious, supernatural elements at play in this story.
