New Special Halloween Issue

 A new special Halloween issue of Martha Stewart Living has just dropped. Many fans were shocked (and delighted) by the surprise! The issue is available on newsstands as well as through Amazon. Martha looks fantastic on the cover dressed as a variation on Queen Elizabeth I. Inside, there is a full gallery of Martha's best costumes over the years, plus some Halloween gems that have not been published before. This is the second Martha Stewart special issue that Dotdash Meredith has published this year, the first being a special Gardening issue that appeared in the spring. This is the first Halloween special issue to publish since 2015. Maybe we're just glutinous, but we're hoping for a special Holiday issue too! Stay tuned!

"Martha" to Open Hamptons International Film Festival

The documentary about Martha's life, which has been in the works since May of 2021, will premiere at the Hamptons International Film Festival on October 4th. Directed by award-winning documentary filmmaker R.J. Cutler ("The September Issue"), the film, titled simply "Martha", will trace the arc of Martha's life and career - warts and all - with an inside look at her daily routines. The film had Martha's full cooperation and input. She is interviewed extensively throughout the documentary at her homes in New York and Maine and her places of work. 

"It feels only fitting that we open this year's event with R.J. Cutler's portrait of Martha Stewart," said Hamptons Film executive director Anne Chaisson. "We are delighted to welcome Martha - a truly trailblazing cultural figure and an East End resident of more than three decades - back to the Hamptons community with open arms and give her space to graciously share her inspiring story with us all." 

The documentary was made for Netflix and will be available to stream in late October or early November.
