Abominable - 11 October

Your biggest fear is: yetis

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil - 18 October

Your biggest fear is: horned fairies

Maleficent???s back and it looks like she???s still working through some of her humankind issues. As long as you???re not on the receiving end of her fairy wrath, you should be fine. We wouldn???t want to be Michelle Pfieffer though.

Countdown - 25 October

Your biggest fear is: technology and...death

Don???t be fooled by the name: this is nothing like the TV show. Instead of a massive clock telling you how long you???ve got to solve an anagram, an app tells you exactly when you???re going to die. You???ve been warned.
