Nightbooks: Release Date, Cast, Trailer and More!

Hello, Readers! As Halloween approaches, Netflix has released Nightbooks, a new horror film inspired by Hansel and Gretel. The upcoming film is based on J. A. White’s novel of the same name, and it follows two children who are forced to serve a powerful witch.

When it comes to horror and fantasy films, Netflix is killing it. Even if most people aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to summer in favor of the cool autumn air, Netflix is getting us ready for the Halloween season.

Flickering lights, spooky stories, magic, a creepy witch, and lots of jumps scares abound in this film. This looks like a terrific way to start the Netflix Halloween season. Sam Raimi, Romel Adam, Mason Novick, and Michelle Knudsen produced the film, which was directed by David Yarovesky (Brightburn).
