After an unexpectedly long absence, Shana and j. are back to open The Spooky Stacks for this October. This week, we cover key slasher canon with Friday the 13th Pt II (directed by Steve Miner, 1981, discussion running 0:00-1:31:30), followed by some arthouse surrealism with Abbas Kiarostami's Certified Copy (2010, running 1:31:30-3:04:34, also featuring shorter discussion of 3 Park Chan-Wook films (Thirst, The Handmaiden, and Decision to Leave), and concluding as always with The Watched Stacks, extra long edition covering all of the October watches up to this point.
