This week on the TV Gold podcast four programs – three about different sorts of horror, and the other a romcom series.

• Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy (Foxtel/Binge, 8 episodes)

A horror story about America’s most notorious serial killer. But a TV series made without exploiting the actual crimes. It instead focuses on the impact on the victims families and follows closely the police investigation and the court case.

• Film Club (Foxtel/Binge, 6 episodes)

A quirky comedy from actor/producer Aimee Lou Wood who stars as Evie who runs a film club in the garage at her mother’s house. Mum is played by Suranne Jones who is not really known for her comedy skills. But it’s an intriguing premise and there is a nice cameo from Emmy-winning star of Adolescence, Owen Cooper.

• A House of Dynamite (Netflix, movie)

The much anticipated new movie from director Kathryn Bigelow. The film repeatedly tracks the 18 minutes that follow a missile being launched at the United States — first from the perspective of the White House Situation Room, then from the perspective of United States Strategic Command, and finally from the perspective of the President himself.

• Andrew’s Halloween special - It: Welcome to Derry (HBO Max)

A terrifying prequel series that goes back to 1962 to trace the origins of the murderous, shape-shifting entity known as Pennywise the Clown. Based on the novel It by Stephen King.
