Halloween comes to Waverly Place in “Something Wizard This Way Comes.” Apparently, for wizards, Halloween is bit like Christmas (but spookier) with carols, treats, presents, and a visitor who doesn’t so much bring presents but eats children and candy.

Part body horror and part treatise on societal pressures of women over the age of 40, The Substance stars Demi Moore as a fading Hollywood celebrity now host of a morning exercise hour about to be replaced by the lecherous producer (Dennis Quaid).
