Spooky Zoo of New England
Make a trip to the Franklin Park Zoo on Halloween weekend, with chills, thrills, and animals scurrying around every corner of the Halloween trail during the annual “Zoo Howl.”
This Saturday and Sunday, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. There are plenty of spooky events throughout the weekend, such as costume contests and animal encounters, as well as opportunities to get acquainted with each creepy crawly creature in the Zoo.
The animals, too, will join in the fun by enjoying pumpkin-flavored treats on their own in the “pumpkenrichment.” North of Franklin Park Zoo in Stoneham, visitors can take in more terrifying sights at the Stoneham Zoo’s “Boo at the Zoo” held the previous week (Oct. 22nd and 23rd between 9 a.m. and two p.m.). The annual Halloween celebration will also feature costumed fun and an opportunity to win costumes.
Take a Look at the Fall’s Most Popular Festival Films at Iffboston.
Suppose you’re looking to catch some of the 2022’s most anticipated films in the weeks and months before they are released across the country. In that case, Independent Film Festival Boston (IFFBoston) will screen 13 of the most talked-about films at the Brattle Theater through November 1 as part of the festival’s Fall Focus showcase.
Among the highlights are Sarah Polley’s “Women Talking,” about a group of women (Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Frances McDormand) living in an isolated religious colony who struggle to reconcile their faith with a series of sexual assaults committed by the colony’s men; James Gray’s “Armageddon Time,” a semi-autobiographical tale about a Queens boy struggling to reconcile faith and family with fitting in at his new school; and Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out” sequel “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” during which audiences are invited to dress in costumes inspired by the 2019 smash hit whodunnit filmed in Massachusetts.
The festival season of fall is getting underway. The year’s most anticipated awards are already being sprayed with a rosy tinge in Venice or Toronto. There’s even an award for the most stylish. For a complete list of movies, go to the IFF Boston website.
