Why are we doing this? Because we believe America’s future is decided locally – one race at a time,” Antón continued. “And with more than 200 publications across the nation, our public service is to provide readers with the facts that matter and the trusted information they need to make informed decisions.”

Local elections are important, but I’m pretty sure that the one race that’s going to have the biggest impact on America’s future is the presidential race. You’d think think they’d have something to say on the topic if it was America’s future they were thinking about rather than just their own.

My SO and I are always looking for good movies, shows, etc. to fill the month of October. We like things that are atmospheric, cerebral, or just fun. But a lot of the standard recommendations are your typical slasher movies and the like, disgusting body horror, kids movies that we have no interest in, and things that are just plain miserable. — Here’s some things we’ve liked to one degree or another from previous years. Action Horror / Horror That’s Actually Enjoyable - Aliens - Bram Stoker’s Dracula - Fright Night - Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters - The Mummy (1999) - Silence of the Lambs - Sleepy Hollow (Great? No. Fun? Yes.) - Termors 1 & 2 - Various Stephen King Mini series (IT, The Stand, Rose Red) Funny and Spooky - Army of Darkness - BeetleJuice - Bubba Ho-Tep - Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie) - The Burbs (didn’t love it, but a good fit) - Death Becomes Her - The Frighteners - Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace - Ghostbusters 1 & 2 - Gremlins 1 & 2 - High Anxiety - Little Shop of Horrors (not really into musicals, but still a good fit) - Shaun of the Dead - What We Do in the Shadows (movie) - Various MST3K horror movie episodes - Young Frankenstein Anthology Shows (inherently hit or miss) - The Twilight Zone (60s) - The Outer Limits (90s) - Tales From the Crypt Old Timey Classics - Dracula - Frankenstein (actually underwhelming, but it was a good fit) - The Haunting (1963) - The Haunting of Hill House (with Rifftrax, but still counts) - The Last Man on Earth - Psycho - The Invisible Man Barely Qualifies as spooky but still good: - Dark Man - The Dead Zone (movie) - Men in Black - Pacific Rim - The Shadow - They Live

But Florida steadily slipping towards swing state status is worth noting. And this is a much larger poll with a much smaller margin of error than some of the recent polls which have claimed to show Trump suddenly gaining ground.
