Happy Halloween to everyone reading this. I know you'll be busy grabbing treats and getting drunk in costume the next few days, but somewhere in that mess you should check out some local music.
As you get older, Halloween costumes become more and more of a colossal pain in the ass. With every passing year, the temptation grows to throw on a garbage bag and call it a California Raisin.
Unconventionally scary stuff is part of the Halloween new releases in Utah theaters. Scott Renshaw finds the creepiest material in the "economic horror story" of Nightcrawler (pictured), featuring Jake Gyllenhaal's brilliant performance as a sociopathic crime-scene videographer.

Venturing into very dark territory for their season opener, PYGmalion Theatre Company will launch their '14-'15 season tonight with the Caridad Svitch play, Spark. The story explores the constant battle war veterans of every era go through when battling PTSD, presented in a contemporary manner revolving around three sisters who are all in different points in their lives regarding the military.
If there's anything scarier than ghosts, blood-sucking fiends or ax murderers, it's the dark, twisted side of love. And that idea is explored in sexy, spooky detail on the ambitious new project by local electro-pop/dance duo MiNX, Together Forever.
A full-length electronic album, Together Forever is also the soundtrack for a silent, mostly black & white film.
Dear GYA, Thinking about going to tonight's Little Shop of Horrors show at the Grand Theatre, but I gotta say, it would be so damn annoying to be eaten by a back talking plant that has a taste for human flesh. Believe me, it's not the whole, "getting devoured by a plant thing" that would bug me— it's the whole, "sitting in there and being forced to listen to his jokes thing" that would drive me insane.
