Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Ever had an evening where you’ve scrolled endlessly through Netflix arguing over what to watch and ending up just turning the telly off?

Well, you can spare yourself such horror this Halloween as the streaming service has selected its favourite frightening films and TV shows for you.

For those after a bit of gore on Friday night the subscription channel offers up the Carrie remake starring Chloë Grace Moretz as the mixed-up teenager with telekinetic abilities; or there’s the slasher movies Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Saw: The Final Chapter.

You can sink your teeth Eli Roth’s gothic horror series Hemlock Grove; or try out the twisted delights of American Horror Story (this series had The Independent’s TV reviewer hiding behind the sofa).

For those more interested in laughter than bumps in the night there’s spoof horror Scary Movie. And for some old school haunting there's Insidious: Chapter 2.

Don't stay up all night.
