Weekender: Horror picks for the spooky season, alien conspiracies and kidnapping in Bugonia, and Twinless gets two thumbs up

It's Halloween, so Ce and Sky are diving into horror films and exploring what they love about the genre alongside a few picks - some famous and some a little more niche.One horror film that's out this week is Bugonia, by Yorgos Lanthimos. It's a remake of the South Korean film Save The Green Planet, which is, if anything, better than the original and marks another chapter in the Lanthimos-Emma Stone-Jesse Plemons era. It's not for everyone, but Sky gives it his full-throated endorsement.Twinless, a comedy that traces the friendship between two men who meet in a support group for people whose twin has died gets two thumbs. And Sky rates Happyend, a new Japanese film by Neo Sora, as one of his favourites of the year so far.In music recommendations, Ce thinks West End Girl by Lily Allen is the perfect Halloween trick - at least for David Harbour, and Sky picks the remix version of A Fragile Geography by Rafael Anton Irisarri.And in quick notes, the team are looking forward to a condensed Melbourne season by Opera Australia, and the ACO's Cocteau’s Circle.
