What are You Streaming for Halloween? by Fran Joyce
How do you get ready for Halloween? Christian and I liked to spend the month of October streaming Halloween classics. He kept a list of his favorites, so we were always prepared. This year every streaming service seems to offer a curated list of their finest scary movies and TV episodes.
Chainsaws and dismemberments flicks aren’t really my thing, so curated lists are an effective way for me to limit the gore I’m prepared to see on any given night.
October 15, 2021, Halloween Kills will be released in theaters and available for streaming on paid tiers of Peacock for 60 days. It’s the 12th installment in the Halloween franchise. The action picks up immediately after the events of the 2018 Halloween. Jamie Lee Curtis stars as an injured Laurie Strode and her family continue to fend off killer Michael Myers (Nick Castle).
