Netflix’s House of Usher, John Carpenter true crime, and more new TV this week
It’s officially spooky month, so it’s no surprise that we’ve got a couple of spooky entries from those in this week’s list of new horror TV shows to watch. We are talking about Mike Flanagan, who returns to Netflix with another interpretation of horror literature, this time Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Fallen House of Usher”.
He is also talking about John the Carpenter – perhaps the the former horror guy is still doing this – now he’s doing a limited edition anthology series for Peacock. And he turned his eyes to the most odious place of all, the suburbs.
Of course, there is plenty of TV beyond that Spy x Familythe second season of which is now airing on Crunchyroll Our flag stands for deathwhich is well into season 2 now (only started airing last week).
Here are all the notable TV premieres for this week:

Who among us can’t relate to being a little shy in high school and maybe even struggling with other conversations? Unfortunately, unlike Umika, most of them have not found a transfer student who is an alien with telepathic powers who agrees to go to space with us. It is ridiculous to those who have done it, but it is to the rest of us; Stardust Telepath seems like a nice anime to launch.
