The 1960s have achieved almost mythic status as a hinge point in American history. Both those who welcomed and feared the convulsive changes the decade brought can agree on one thing: Socially, culturally, and politically, the nation was a very different place when it ended than when it began.This could be another such moment.The ’60s watershed moments—the civil-rights campaigns in Birmingham and Selma, Alabama; Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington and the anti-war March on the Pentagon; the outpouring of demonstrations following the shootings at Kent State—can seem in retrospect like towering peaks of transformative activism far beyond any contemporary experience. But history may look back on this period as a comparable transition in the nation’s politics and culture,...
Just two days after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the Jersey Shore in October 2012, Adam Philipson started his job as CEO and president of Red Bank’s Count Basie Theatre. Most of the borough had lost power because of the superstorm, but not the historic venue. People flocked to the theater for sanctuary rather than entertainment.

In an alternate simulation, my mid-year horror recap might read differently. Earthrealm #2895 avoided COVID-19’s pandemic spread and watched Saint Maud, Antlers, and Candyman (plus others) when they released on their initially slated dates. Theaters never closed down, studios didn’t erase schedules, and their government correctly anticipated a viral spread with preemptive, proactive measures. We, on this unfortunate hunk of space rock, have been robbed of massively anticipated new releases (small potatoes in the grand scheme). Still, there exists an overlooked truth in this cursed year in our home planet’s history: 2020 carries no shortage of worthwhile horror releases. Oddly enough, the horror genre didn’t skip much of a beat with the closure of nationwide theater chains. I’ve seen 70-plus...
