TV & MOVIES' ‘Hold Your Breath’ As if being a mother in the 1930s Dust Bowl wasn't stressful enough, Sarah Paulson and her children are living in fear of a sinister presence in "Hold Your Breath." Coming to Hulu on Thursday, this psychological thriller from Karrie Crouse and Will Joines co-stars "The Bear's" Ebon Moss-Bachrach as a mysterious character who arrives at their home amid worries over a murderous drifter at large. On top of all of this, her daughter becomes obsessed with a storybook fable about The Grey Man, who comes into people's homes as if made of dust and, when breathed in, turns his victims into villains. DETAILS ‘House of Spoils ‘ Speaking of "The Bear," the new Blumhouse film "House of Spoils" leans into the horror element of opening a restaurant (albeit on a remote estate with a haunting presence, two things Carmy has yet to deal with). Oscar-winning "West Side Story" actor Ariana DeBose plays the ambitious chef at the center of Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy's film, which also features Barbie Ferreira ("Euphoria") and Arian Moayed ("Succession"). "House of Spoils" arrives on Prime Video on Thursday. DETAILS ‘Salem's Lot’ Writer-director Gary Dauberman adapts Stephen King's "Salem's Lot" in a new film coming to Max on Thursday. Lewis Pullman, of "Top Gun: Maverick," stars as a man who comes back to his small Maine town to try to finish his book, but unfortunately that town is being terrorized by a vampire. It's so far divided critics, some declaring it among the best King adaptations, others on the opposite end. But the author seems pleased. In February, King wrote on X that, "I've seen the new SALEM'S LOT and it's quite good. Old-school horror filmmaking: slow build, big payoff." DETAILS ‘It's What's Inside ‘ Netflix also has the Sundance breakout "It's What's Inside" coming Friday, Oct. 4, in which a reunion between college friends turns into a nightmare with the arrival of a suitcase and a strange game. Jourdain Searles, in her IndieWire review, wrote, "It's a loud, colorful, frantic, and pitch-black horror comedy about identity that mercilessly critiques modern anxiety about desirability and success. Scary!" DETAILS ‘Heartstopper ‘ The Netflix coming-of-age romance series "Heartstopper," focused on teens Charlie and Nick, returns Thursday. In the new season, Annette Badland of "Outlander" and Jonathan Bailey of "Bridgerton" join the cast. DETAILS ‘Found’ Season 2 of NBC's hit series "Found," starring Shanola Hampton, kicks off Thursday. Hampton plays Gabi Mosely, a woman who survived kidnapping and a lengthy imprisonment as a teen. She now runs a firm that specializes in finding missing people — particularly Black and brown people who normally don't get the media coverage that a missing white person receives. In the first season, Mosely harbored a big secret that she had taken her former kidnapper (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) captive and was keeping him in her basement. In this season, he's escaped. Episodes also stream on Peacock. DETAILS ‘The Franchise’ Movie and television studies love a franchise where they can make sequels and bank on dollars at the box office a la "Deadpool & Wolverine." The new comedy series "The Franchise" follows the behind-the-scenes mayhem of filming a movie in an unpopular franchise. It stars Himesh Patel, Aya Cash, Billy Magnussen, Richard E. Grant and Daniel Brühl. The series premieres Sunday, Oct. 6, on HBO and streams on Max. DETAILS American Music Awards The American Music Awards are celebrating their 50th anniversary on Sunday, Oct. 6, with a television special airing live on CBS and available to stream on Paramount+ at 8 p.m. Eastern/5 p.m. Pacific. Viewers can expect a few brand-new performances from Brad Paisley, Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight, Green Day, Jennifer Hudson, Kane Brown, Mariah Carey, Raye and Stray Kids, as well as artist interviews and previously unreleased footage from AMAs past. Consider it appointment viewing for those who love award shows. DETAILS |

Carly Pearce at the Agora Over the last seven years, Carly Pearce has become a three-time Country Music Awards winner, four-time Academy of Country Music Award winner and scored a Grammy. Fiercely rooted in the country classics, she’s on a tour now to promote her latest album, “Hummingbird.” She will performe at the Agora in Cleveland on Saturday, Oct. 5. Tickets $39.50 to $89.50 8 p.m., October 5. Agora, 5000 Euclid Ave., Cleveland. DETAILS Sepultura at the Agora Brazil’s Sepultura is considered one of the most influential metal bands of our time. The band is on a farewell tour, celebrating its 40-plus years in music, that stops in Cleveland on Tuesday. Tickets $31.50 to $65. 7 p.m., October 8. 5000 Euclid Ave., Cleveland. DETAILS My Morning Jacket at Cain Park My Morning Jacket, one of rock’s best live bands, will help close out the Cain Park season with a set of jam-filled roots and psychedelic rock. Tickets $53 to $58. 7:30 p.m., October 4. Cain Park, 14591 Superior Ave., Cleveland Heights. DETAILS Charlie Puth There's nothing worse than a self-serious pop star, and thankfully, Charlie Puth appears to know that more than most. In a new Roku channel mockumentary titled "The Charlie Puth Show," the "See You Again" singer stars as a fictionalized version of, well, himself — a musician looking to maintain relevancy by starring in a reality show. Expect a few A-list cameos, too, for this parodic take on the current cultural zeitgeist. Talents like Will Ferrell, Dorinda Medley and Courteney Cox make an appearance. DETAILS Coldplay Coldplay's expansive alt-contemporary rock fills stadiums around the world; on record, they turn a simple sing-along phrase into a soaring mantra. The repetitive "la la la" on "feelslikeimfallinginlove" is evidence enough, or the chorus on the stuffed "WE PRAY," which features Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna and TINI. Both appear on the band's 10th studio album, "Moon Music." They've cornered the market on Earth; where else would they head? DETAILS Finneas Finneas, the second-youngest person to win two Oscars (he's just behind his sister and principal collaborator, Billie Eilish) is gearing up to release his sophomore solo album, "For Cryin' Out Loud!" Most are likely familiar with his production work, less so his own ambitious material — luckily, it's not too late to dive into the dreamy pop-rock of "Cleats," or the funky, frustrated title track, "For Cryin' Out Loud!"
