Continuing my 31 Days of Halloween theme for October, ENRON: The Smartest Guys In The Room (2005) is by far the scariest movie I have ever seen. This documentary covers the most shocking example of corporate culture that has ever existed. It reveals the brazen, meticulous, and systematic manner in which the company’s wealth is transferred into the pockets of top executives. It highlights how so many knew this was happening and did nothing. It also exposes those involved with minimal to no accountability for their actions. Furthermore, it reveals how they took advantage of the California Energy Crisis and how top executives literally cheered on the suffering of millions of Americans to maximize their profits.

The takeaway? This Halloween, we like to scare ourselves silly with frightening movies and real-life crime/horror podcasts with creepy and sinister characters, etc. Just don’t forget, evil can hide in plain sight, wearing really nice suits.
