CONTENTS N ow that all the excitement of summer and September has died down, those comfy slippers are looking pretty inviting. Our Staying In Special takes a look at some of the best reasons not to leave your house this autumn / winter, with some of the season’s top TV, games and books highlights (page 15). Plus, just why haven’t we got to see the Scotland- set, Scotland-filmed Outlander yet (page 22)? But there’s plenty to draw you out too – we spoke to the amazing John Waters (page 12) as he prepares to visit Glasgow as part of this year’s Glasgay! festival, which starts on Mon 20 Oct. We caught up with legendary musician Edwyn Collins too, as an impressive documentary about his post-coma recovery is released in cinemas (interview on page 30, review on page 66). And if Hallowe’en is your highlight of the year, check out our round up some of the spookiest events (page 44) and ghoulish gigs (page 74) near you.
