‘Gruesome' Netflix horror movie based on classic novel gets release date with unexpected twist
The highly anticipated original Netflix film was previously set for release on the platform this November One of Netflix's most anticipated new releases for 2025 has just added an unexpected twist to its premiere on the streaming platform. The latest adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein by acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro was previously confirmed to be released to Netflix on Friday, 7th November. Starring Jacob Elordi as the iconic monster, the Oscar-winning filmmaker has assembled an A-list ensemble that includes Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, the scientist who creates new life. Also featuring in the cast are Mia Goth as Frankenstein's fiancée Elizabeth Lavenza, plus Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, Lauren Collins, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Charles Dance and Ralph Ineson. In an exciting update, horror fans have now been given the opportunity to catch the film early - here's how. Netflix has confirmed the film will now be released in select cinemas on Friday, 17th October. This means horror aficionados will be able to experience the terrifying classic just in time for Halloween. For those waiting for the film to come to streaming, they'll have to wait until after spooky season has already come to an end. To coincide with the announcement, Netflix has also revealed some intriguing new posters for del Toro's new masterpiece. The key art features Isaac and Elordi as scientist and monster from behind.

Meanwhile, his creation is draped in rags and furs as he stands in a frozen wasteland, an old-fashioned galleon in the distance. A synopsis for the film reads: 'A brilliant but egotistical scientist brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.' Del Toro, who has previously cited Frankenstein as his favourite book, said of adapting the story: 'The most important figure from English legacy is, incredibly, for me, a teenager by the name of Mary Shelley, and she has remained a figure as important in my life as if she were family. 'And so many times when I want to give up, when I think about giving up, when people tell me that dreaming of the movies and the stories I dream are impossible, I think of her.' Frankenstein will be released in select cinemas on 17th October and Netflix on 7th November.

Kyoto is hosting a Japanese Halloween with yokai monsters from traditional folklore
Halloween is a big deal in Japan, and theme parks across the country are jumping on the bandwagon with spooky events designed to lure thrill-seekers. Attractions like Osaka's Universal Studios Japan and Tokyo Disney Resort will surely transform their beloved characters into zombies, skeletons and other eerie creatures of the night. But if you prefer a more uniquely Japanese take on Halloween, Toei Kyoto Studio Park has just the thing. From September 13 to November 30, the park will host the Kaikai Yokai Festival, an atmospheric spook fest inspired by Japanese folklore. According to the festival's backstory, yokai, or supernatural creatures from old myths, once roamed the country. But as modernisation has erased their old haunts, the yokai have taken refuge in Toei Kyoto Studio Park, a nostalgic theme park (and occasional filming location for period dramas) that is a meticulous recreation of an Edo-period (1603–1868) small town. At the festival, you'll find yokai roaming the streets – feel free to interact and take photos with them. There's a dedicated exhibition exploring yokai lore, an artisanal market featuring artworks and souvenirs inspired by these mythical creatures, old-school ghost story sessions that bring classic tales to life, and many more engaging activities. The festival's highlight, however, is the Uzumasa Yokai Parade, a modern-day reenactment of the Hyakki Yagyo legend, in which a hundred yokai are said to have marched through Kyoto after dark during the Heian period. Now, you can witness this spectacle up close as a horde of monsters floods the park's retro streets. It's eerie, whimsical and captivating all at once. This fascinating parade runs on weekends and public holidays, twice daily at 2.30pm and again at 6pm or 7pm, with occasional exceptions. At the halfway point, you can even join in the Kaikai Yokai Dance alongside the monsters. This one-of-a-kind parade is included in the regular park admission. But for the full experience – including interacting with the yokai – opt for the Kaikai Yokai Festival Ticket with Merchandise. This comes with an exclusive yokai mask to help you blend in with the spirits. Prices are ¥3,900 for adults, ¥2,900 for high school students, and ¥2,700 for children aged 3 through elementary school.
