Here's another special, spoiler-free episode as part of our TIFF 2026 coverage – and it's particularly apt as we start the countdown to spooky season! Conrad is joined live in the Toronto Metro Convention Centre by Joe Lipsett of Horror Queers and Serge Bodnarchuk of Cold Crash Pictures to talk about Crystal Lake, the Friday the 13th prequel series that finally answers a question nobody actually asked: what was Pamela Voorhees up to before she started decapitating camp counsellors? Linda Cardellini takes on the role, playing Pam as a grieving single mother, unable to move past the drowning of her son Jason months earlier, whose fragile routine is upended when two strangers turn up and start digging into her past. Created by Brad Caleb Kane (It: Welcome to Derry) and produced by A24, the eight-episode series streams on Peacock in the US from 15 October, with Sky and NOW bringing it to the UK and Ireland later the same month.
