October is the month for the spooky and the scary and CBC Gem is adding a bunch of content to its Halloween Collection to mark the occasion.  Look for The Ravenous (Les Affamés), Blood Quantum, She Never Died and more toward the end of the month to satisfy your horror hunger. Bring blankets and snacks should you need to look away.
