Evening Wire: Peltola Under Investigation For "Decoy Dan" Plot & DOJ Cracks Down on Fake Student Fraud | 10.29.26

For Halloween, John Bickley and Georgia Howe take a break from the news to debate the merits of horror movies. Should Christians avoid the genre, or can scary movies explore meaningful themes of good and evil, human nature, and faith? The two discuss why audiences are drawn to horror, whether the genre can offer something deeper than cheap scares, and why it remains one of Hollywood’s most reliable bets. Plus, they share their all-time favorite horror movies, from The Shining and The Exorcist to It Follows and The Silence of the Lambs. Happy Halloween!
