The Paley Museum in New York is offering an exclusive exhibition about Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale' to commemorate the conclusion of its six-season run. HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 02: (L-R) Max Minghella, Sam Jaeger, Madeline Brewer, Ann Dowd, Samira Wiley, Elisabeth Moss, Amanda Brugel, Yvonne Strahovski, Ever Carradine, Bradley Whitford, Josh Charles and O.

(Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic) FilmMagic On display through June 8, this features iconic costumes, props, and artifacts from the drama, including pieces worn by characters such as June Osborn (Elisabeth Moss), Serena Joy Waterford (Yvonne Strahovski) and Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford). The museum invites visitors to 'explore June's journey through the dystopian universe of Gilead, where every artifact tells her story of resistance, rebellion, and survival.' It also says 'these powerful pieces honor not only the creative talent behind the scenes but also the lasting cultural impact of this provocative and critically acclaimed drama. On display, it says, are' June Osborn's (Elisabeth Moss) iconic red handmaid's dress, cloak, and white winged bonnet; Serena Joy Waterford's (Yvonne Strahovski) haunting teal dress; costumes worn by other pivotal characters, including Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd), Nick Blaine (Max Minghella), Hannah Bankole (Jordana Blake), and Rita (Amanda Brugel); and artifacts and props that have become symbols of the series, including Commander Waterford's Scrabble board, Nichole's doll from Nick, Serena's bible, June's Boston map, and Handmaid's muzzle, among others.' Through June 8, the museum also is screening 'The Handmaid's Tale: 'Offred'' (the series' 2017 premiere), which it says. It says this 'describes a dystopian future in which women are enslaved within Gilead, a totalitarian, religion-based society. A woman called Offred ("of Fred") (Elisabeth Moss), is separated from her husband and daughter and forcibly assigned to be a subservient "Handmaid" to a powerful couple, the icy Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski) and her husband, Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes). Offred privately declares her determination to survive for her husband Luke, her daughter Hannah, and for her true, forbidden self: June.' Also through June 1 it is screening 'The Handmaid's Tale: 'Night'' (the season one finale). In it, the museum says, 'Offred recalls her first pregnancy and Serena Joy takes Offred on a road trip, where she later reveals Offred's daughter, Hannah. Offred pleads to be reunited with her daughter, and Serena Joy assures her Hannah will be safe as long as she maintains a healthy pregnancy. Later, Fred (Joseph Fiennes) assures Serena Joy that they will be a true "family" once Offred delivers their child and departs from the home. Offred is later arrested and prepares for either "her end or a new beginning." Based on the 1985 novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale, the museum said, is. 'set in a dystopian United States following the Second American Civil War, The Handmaid's Tale paints a dark picture of life for women, many of whom are Handmaids, under a totalitarian government. The first season captured audiences' attention with a powerhouse cast, led by Elisabeth Moss as 'June Osborn/Offred' in a story of survival, strength, and overcoming extreme adversity. Winner of fifteen Emmy Awards across its first five seasons, the dystopian thriller's sixth and final season' premiered in April. Admission to the exhibition and screenings is included in the general admission fee.

Spirit Halloween says it's canceling its season opening event in Egg Harbor Township due to tariffs
Citing "international disruptions and supply chain challenges," spooky decoration and costume emporium Spirit Halloween announced it is canceling its annual grand opening event, which typically draws a large crowd to the Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, store in the heat of summer. A statement on the decision was posted on Spirit Halloween's social accounts and While Spirit didn't use the words "tariff" or "tariffs" in the statement, international trade has been disrupted in 2025 after President Trump announced wide-ranging tariffs on goods from almost every foreign country, a move that has caused wild disruptions in the stock market and caused many companies to reassess how they do business. Some Halloween lovers traveled from thousands of miles away for Spirit's 2024 season kickoff event and Chopper 3 showed a line snaking around the store outside. Luckily for Halloween lovers, they plan to bring the event back in 2026. Chopper 3/CBS News Philadelphia Spirit says over 1,500 Halloween stores are on track to open in mid-August despite the grand opening event being off. "The engines are on, and we're full speed ahead," Spirit said. Known for its pop-up stores — the company owns no permanent physical storefronts, according to CBS MoneyWatch — Spirit has been praised for the yearly logistical feat in which it opens hundreds of temporary brick-and-mortar locations months ahead of Halloween, staffs and stocks them, and then disappears once the holiday is over. Spirit Halloween also experimented with "Spirit Christmas" stores in 2024, opening 10 locations across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Shaw Brothers costume ‘treasure' trove to showcase Hong Kong film legacy
Costumes worn by stars in many of the biggest films to emerge out of Hong Kong's golden era of cinema are being meticulously catalogued as part of plans to return the pieces from the acclaimed Shaw Brothers to the public eye. Since March, a team led by renowned Hong Kong stylist Tina Liu Tien-lan has been caring for 40,000 costumes from the company's productions at a two-floor, 3,344 square metre storage space at Shaw Studios in Tseung Kwan O. Dressed in masks, white protective coats and gloves, the nine-member-strong team has been commissioned to clean the costumes, research and build portfolios that include details such as the actors and actresses who wore them and fabric types. Highlights include antique dragon robes featured in The Adulteress (1963), a film about a scholar and a woman who fight to clear their names in conspiracies orchestrated by corrupt officials in the late Qing dynasty. A prison uniform sewn with the name Sung Sai-kit, the protagonist played by Stephen Chow Sing-chi in the comedy Justice, My Foot! (1992), is also part of the collection. The antiques were part of the golden era of the city's film industry as productions of Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong), founded by the late magnate Run Run Shaw, dominated the Asian movie scene in the 1960s. Some films also became hits internationally.
