Is there a RIGHT age to start watching scary movies?  2,000 Americans were surveyed and 65% said they saw their first one before they were 11 years old. 60% agree that watching your first scary movie at a slumber party is a rite of passage. Since we are in the midst of spooky season, how many scary movies have you watched?  On average, Americans watch only FIVE during Halloween time, but 23% will watch 10 or more. (You can check out more survey stats at SWNSDigital.com.)

Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings, and James Taylor will headline “Concert for Carolina”, which is a benefit show for the victims of Hurricane Helene.  All of the proceeds will go to organizations that directly help those impacted by the storm. The artists involved contacted David Tepper, who owns the Carolina Panthers, about hosting the concert at Bank of America Stadium. The Panthers are away in Denver that weekend, so the venue was available, and the owner made it happen. All proceeds from the concert will be split evenly between Luke and Eric.  Luke’s funds are earmarked for groups like Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank, and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina. And Eric’s money raised will go to his charity, Chief Cares, and it will also be distributed to organizations that directly help those impacted by the storm. Tickets go on sale Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.  (You can find out more, here.) (Check out other Country stars that have helped after the storm, here.)
