"Behind the Magic of Nightbooks: A Review of This Dark Fantasy Adventure"

Director: David Yarovesky | Runtime: 1 hr 43 min

Cast: Winslow Fegley, Krysten Ritter, Lidya Jewett

Somewhere between spooky and downright scary, Nightbooks is a wonderful new entry in the "gateway horror" canon that's delightful for (not too young) kids and adults alike. 

The Sam Raimi-produced YA adventure stars Krysten Ritter as a glamorous but very wicked witch who traps children to do her bidding. Following two kids (played by Winslow Fegley and Lidya Jewett) attempting to escape her grasp, Nightbooks builds a fantastical world of magic and monsters that steers clear of gruesome gore while still delivering plenty of ooey-goeey scares. It's one of the best Netflix originals of the year and the perfect pick for folks looking for something new to add to their Halloween watchlist. - Haleigh Foutch
