Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

With Halloween fast approaching for another year, there’s only one thing that you need to do: draw the curtains and dim the lights as you put on your favourite horror film for another scary screening.

Whether you run and hide behind a cushion or face your fears head on, there’s no denying that horror films offer two hours of pure, unadulterated adrenaline rush. Reaching the ending credits feels like crossing the finishing line of the world’s most punishing race.

If you feel like your scare tolerance is getting higher every time and the same old thrills just aren’t cutting it anymore, there’s a goosebump-inducing solution just waiting for you. Dare to go one step further and throw caution to the wind by paying a visit to the actual settings of your favourite horror films.

Here’s 10 to get your gory journey started.
