I like how, at some point, we all collectively agreed that spooky season starts in September. Without even glancing at the calendar, I suddenly feel an urge to start watching horror films and TV shows the moment August ends. Even Hollywood has cottoned onto this recently, with films like "The Nun II" and "A Haunting in Venice" getting a head start on this year's competition before theaters and streaming services are flooded with horror flicks and supernatural thrillers. Well, that and "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour," but who isn't a little scared of the Mastermind herself?
If you're eager to get a head-start on Netflix's annual Halloween lineup (which is called "Netflix & Chills" because no company knows how to be hip like the "youths" quite like Netflix), you might want to check out the German-language series "Dear Child" (the original German title is "Liebes Kind"). It's more crime-thriller than...

Dear Child is a mystery crime drama series written and directed by Isabel Kleefeld. The Netflix series is based on an international bestselling novel titled Liebes Kind by Romy Hausmann. Dear Child revolves around a 13-year-old missing persons case which is reopened after an unknown woman is struck by a car in a German forest and the girl who accompanies her is being interviewed by the police. The Netflix series is a claustrophobic and dark experience with plenty of twists and turns. So, if you loved Dear Child here are some similar shows you could watch next.

Cologne, Germany -- Tom Tykwer's menage a trois drama "Drei" (Three) and new adaptations of Franz Kafka and Daniel Kehlmann were among the projects backed in the latest round of funding by regional subsidy body Filmstifftung Nrw.
The Nrw film board signed a €400,000 ($600,000) check for Tykwer's latest -- the director's first German-language film since "The Princess and the Warrior" (2000). The drama, starring Devid Striesow, Sophie Rois and Sebastian Schipper focuses on a 40-something couple in Berlin who, separately, fall in love with the same man. "Drei" has already secured around $1 million in subsidies from the Berlin-Brandenburg Medienboard and some $750,000 from federal film board the Ffa.
Jochen Alexander Freydank, an Oscar winner for his 2007 short "Toyland," picked up €225,000 ($336,000) in backing from Nrw towards his feature debut, an adaptation of the unfinished Kafka short story "The Burrow." The drama, which follows a mole-like man who has shut himself off from the outside world,...
