Your Spooky Doctor Who Premiere Spoiler Discussion Zone Is Here

Something’s definitely strange in this neighborhood...

It’s been a long almost 11 months since we last had The Doctor and friends on our screens, but at last, she’s back! And things are looking a bit different this time around, as the end draws near for Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor. Come talk about the first episode of Doctor Who season 13, Flux, and let us know what you thought of a suitably apocalyptic Halloween!

When does Doctor Who: Flux air?

The first episode of Doctor Who season 13, aka Flux, airs Sunday, October 31 at 2:25 p.m. ET in the U.S. and 6:25 p.m. GMT in the UK. “The Halloween Apocalypse” is a few firsts for the show, in that it’s both technically the closest Doctor Who has ever had to a literal Halloween special—sci-fi spooks are the usual in Who, sure, but having a “festive” episode not set around the traditional Christmas period is a welcome change. But it’s also the start of an experiment modern Doctor Who hasn’t really explored before, and its classic counterpart only occasionally flirted with in arcs like the “Key to Time” and “Trial of a Time Lord”: an entire series dedicated to telling a connected overarching tale in six parts. This time, aside from a few familiar faces coming along the way, our big mystery is just what the deal is with the titular “Flux”, and what does it want with all of time and space?

Of course, “The Halloween Apocalypse” will do more than just kick off the new season and introduce this latest threat for the 13th Doctor and Yaz to face. It gave us a new friend in the form of John Bishop’s Dan, a hapless Liverpudlian caught up in the Doctor’s latest adventure and now on board for the ride across time and space in the fight to stop the Flux from destroying the universe. What did you think of our new companion? What do you think is actually up with the Flux? Are you enjoying what Doctor Who is trying to experiment with coming into the final days of Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall’s time on the show? Let us know what you thought of “The Halloween Apocalypse” in the comments—and stay tuned for our full recap of the episode tomorrow!

The Only Version of Return of the King Worth Watching Missing From Max After Streaming Bug

Screenshot: Warner Bros. Bad news for Max subscribers who’ve made re-watching The Lord of the Rings extended editions an annual New Year tradition: the third film in the trilogy, The Return of the King — which just celebrated its 20th anniversary! —is only available to stream in its theatrical version. No ancient evil is to blame, thankfully; it’s an unspecified “tech issue,” according to a Max spokesperson who responded to a comment request from Vulture after the issue was noted by dismayed fans on Reddit . The fact that The Return of the King extended edition is merely temporarily unavailable is actually good news given Max’s track record for removing content in the past, and the explanation makes sense considering The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers remain available in both their theatrical and extended editions. The Max spokesperson assured Vulture that The Return of the King extended edition will be, ah, returning soon to the service, though as of this writing i...

You Can Visit Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in Hollywood

Image: Universal Pictures Just in time for Halloween and for the release of Blumhouse and Universal Pictures’ Five Nights at Freddy ’s fans can visit a pop-up location of the fictional franchise from the game and film. That’s right, a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza has mysteriously appeared in Hollywood. Like in the game and upcoming film, it’s a run-down spot that’s been closed down due to some mysterious activity within. Unfortunately, you can’t actually go in unless you’re hired as a security guard (kidding)—it’s just a facade for photo-ops you can visit. Check out the video captured by deadboifilms on TikTok below at the location on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood (near the Chateau Marmont Hotel). If you want to encounter the animatronic band of fuzzy and totally friendly creatures from the game, you’ll have to visit Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights, there’s a walk-through in the DreamWorks theater lobby that’s been taken over by Blumhouse which features the real Jim ...
