OBSESSIONS
OBSESSIONS WHAT WE CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF THIS MONTH.
WATCH “KATLA” ON NETFLIX WHY DO WE LOVE IT? I like my horror quiet, creeping and ideally a little folksy. I couldn’t have asked for a better fix than Netflix’s “Katla.” This Icelandic series revolves around the eruption of the Katla volcano in rural Iceland. The town is coping with the constant stream of dust and ash from the active volcano, which is bad enough... until, suddenly, people mysteriously start emerging from the ash. The fact that the eerie series is rooted in Icelandic folklore is just an added bonus. — SAM SCHIPANI

WHY DO WE LOVE IT? The Glorious 40’s Melt is like a fancy grilled cheese for adults. The first time I tried it, I wasn’t looking for a big meal, so this was the perfect size! Made with a chopped burger patty, American cheese, grilled onions and Mason’s house burger sauce on grilled white bread, it goes great with a side salad and beer (I love Hipster Mutation: Citra). It is an explosion of deliciousness in your mouth and you won’t regret trying it. I’m taking advantage of Mason’s outdoor seating while I still can, and the Glorious 40’s Melt is the thing to get. — ROSEMARY LAUSIER

WATCHING A SPECIAL SERIES WHY DO WE LOVE IT? Watching “What We Do In the Shadows” is a Halloween tradition for my boyfriend and me. The mockumentary-style dark comedy directed by Taika Waiti follows vampire roommates in New Zealand as they go about their hijinks. There is a TV series based on the movie, but nothing holds a candle to the original. — SAM SCHIPANI
