This shift by Sony also gives me hope that Spider-Man: No Way Home is also going to keep its release date. But getting Venom: Let There Be Carnage to kick off the spooky season? Honestly, maybe worth the wait.

Watch an Exclusive Clip From the Spooky Fantasia Fest Hit Martyrs Lane, Premiering This Week on Shudder
