Spooky season is here and there’s no shortage of scary new stories to devour, from twisty thrillers and Lovecraftian frights to bloodthirsty aliens and macabre stop-motion delights.

Let The Times’ resident horror expert @jenyamato be your ghost host. latimes.com/entertainment-…
#Barbarian, the best horror movie of the year has arrived on streaming! Zach Cregger’s twisty classic in the making about a woman who finds her sketchy Airbnb is a must watch. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Pair “Barbarian” with James Wan’s “Malignant” or make it an over-the-top Halloween triple feature by adding this year’s “Orphan: First Kill” to your playlist. A new era of bonkers original horror is upon us. latimes.com/entertainment-…
With #Deadstream, filmmaking duo Vanessa and Joseph Winter bring a lively comic mania to the found footage genre by telling their story from the perspective of a self-absorbed and disgraced YouTuber spending the night in a purportedly haunted house. latimes.com/entertainment-…
If you prefer your horror served at peak bleak, consider director Christian Tafdrup’s #SpeakNoEvil, a taut psychological thriller about Danish couple who befriend a Dutch couple on vacation. A true chiller of the season that will leave you unsettled. latimes.com/entertainment-…
The new #Hellraiser, which comes with Barker’s seal of approval, features a delicious new Pinhead played by Jamie Clayton and fleshy design updates for The Priest’s sadistic posse of interdimensional Cenobites. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Ti West’s “X” prequel “Pearl” — diving into the backstory of Mia Goth’s titular ax murderer as a starry-eyed young woman with showbiz dreams circa World War I — was so unsettling it kept Martin Scorsese up at night. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Consider taking a cue from Marty and double-feature West’s most audacious work to date and delight in Goth’s virtuosic lead performances — some of the best of the year in any genre. latimes.com/entertainment-…

Watch closely as Innuksuk pays homage to the late Indigenous genre maestro Jeff Barnaby, whose dystopian sci-fi short film “File Under Miscellaneous” makes a cameo — a reminder that trailblazing stories have unknowable impacts on generations that follow. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Walking home one day after a humiliating prank, Sara witnesses her tormenters’ brutal kidnapping and must decide: What should she do about it?

For decades, the Stauffer Chemical Co. disposed of thousands of tons of industrial waste near its factory grounds along Richmond’s southeast shoreline.

But the barbed-wire-ringed Richmond site wasn’t Stauffer’s only dumping ground.

South Korea currently recycles close to 100% of its food waste, a remarkable jump from just 2.6% in 1996.

So, how did the nation's composting system become a model for the world?

Let's take a journey!

The food waste that ends up at Nanji Sewage Treatment Center starts out in a translucent yellow bag, which South Koreans have been required to use for throwing out their uneaten food since 2013. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

By purchasing them, which are priced at around 70 cents per liter and sold at any convenience or grocery store, residents effectively pay a tax on the food that they are throwing away. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

Tucker Carlson is leaving Fox News. The network announced the departure of its top rated and most provocative conservative host Monday with no explanation. His last show was Friday. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox News comes nearly one month after a Fox News producer filed a discrimination lawsuit against the network, Carlson and other producers, alleging that the network is rife with sexist, misogynistic and abusive behavior. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Fox News last week reached a $787.5-million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems to resolve a defamation lawsuit. Dominion accused Fox of knowingly making false claims related to the 2020 election. latimes.com/entertainment-…

For four decades, Choi Byung-moon blamed himself for a young girl's murder.

But in the winter of 2020, the truth finally began to emerge.

“I think before, I’d lived with something like a knot in my heart,” he told Seoul correspondent @maxsoeunkim. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
It was May 1980, and Gwangju was under siege.

The junta, which would go on to rule South Korea as a dictatorship for the next eight years, sent about 3,000 elite paratroopers — including Choi Byung-moon — to crush demonstrations.

For 10 days straight, the commandos went on a campaign of terror.

At least 165 people were killed – including, Choi suspected, a young girl he handed off to fellow soldiers following a bloody minibus attack. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

Affluent communities with little low-income housing have been among those most targeted by state legislators who have strengthened half-century-old laws requiring cities to plan for growth.

In the past, Coronado only had to set aside land for 50 homes to meet state requirements. But this time, it is responsible for 912, 70% of which should be affordable to low- and middle-income residents.
latimes.com/homeless-housi…
The allocation derives from a complex formula based on projected population increases and proximity to jobs and mass transit, among other factors. The law doesn’t mandate that cities build or approve new housing, just that they zone for it. latimes.com/homeless-housi…
