Time to Get your TV Spook On!

Halloween season is in full swing. Not only do I love the colors of Fall, but I love seeing a world full of Bats, Witches, Skulls, Owls and Zombies. If you want to bring a little of that fun, family friendly spook factor into your home, here are a few Halloween TV specials I'm looking forward to.

This Wednesday the 15th, ABC will be airing both Toy Story of Terror and the classic It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Toy Story of Terror was a TV short released last year that I missed, so I will have the DVR set and ready to record.

ABC Family will kick off it's 13 Night of Halloween on the 19th, so here is a preview of that.




For fans of the series The Good Witch, I have good news. First, a new movie The Good Witch's Wonder will premier October 25th and secondly, the Hallmark Channel has picked up the "Good Witch" TV series and it is set to premier in 2015. I think Hallmark is doing a good thing, by bringing in more TV series. I'm really enjoying them.



For fans of outdoor decorating, the makers of The Great Christmas Light Fight, are bringing you The Great Halloween Fright Fight. This will will air on October 28th on ABC. 

The possibilities are limitless, depending on your taste. Even the History Channel, The Food Network, Turner Classic Movie and the Travel Channel have Halloween specials. I still need to do a search myself and see what catches my fancy. I'm a big fan of the Food War Specials, so I'm sure that will be one of them. 

If spookier is your preference, the AMC channel will begin airing it's Fright Fest schedule on Friday the 17th. Want to watch a marathon of some of the classic horror/slasher series, this is the place to find them.

Witches, Candy and Videos Galore!!

Halloween is just a week away and  things are finally starting to look and feel spooktacular around here. My decorations are done, I've crafted a bit, I've cooked a few pumpkin cookies and I just received an email that the Hallmark Channel is going to air a new movie in "The Good Witch" series. This years movie is called "The Good Witch's Destiny". The details about the movie read: 

All Cassie Nightingale (Catherine Bell) wants for her birthday is for her family and friends to be together. While her husband Jake (Chris Potter) suggests an intimate dinner at a fancy restaurant in their hometown of Middleton, Cassie would rather have a party at The Grey House, with all her loved ones in attendance. And since Jake's kids, Brandon (Matthew Knight) and Lori (Hannah Endicott-Douglas), are growing up with lives of their own, it might be their last chance to unite as a family for a long time.

As Cassie's special day is fast approaching, Lori discovers disturbing parallels between Cassie and Cassie's great aunt, nicknamed the Grey Lady, who disappeared at her own birthday party years before. With signs of a curse looming over her, it's clear that Cassie needs to conjure up more than a little magic to make things right again. Is there birthday magic in the air or is it a birthday curse? 


I also seen a great Halloween video today. This one stars an amazing little boy. I think I like it so much, because it reminds me of my daughter. This is something she would totally have done when she was little.  








Every year super light shows flood youtube for Halloween. This year one house in particular has caught my attention, because they have a little bit of everything for everyone. Fun and Spooky!!











Hope you had a great Wednesday and I'll be back with more Halloween fun tomorrow.

ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas Schedule 2013

Below is the entire schedule for the ABC Family channel. Most are Christmas themed movies, but some are not.  Many are happy that the Harry Potter movies have been removed, but others noticed right away that Home Alone, Home Alone 2 and Elf are missing. I guess we'll just have to look for Elf on another channel or pull out the DVD.

CIJ Movies on Hallmark

Because I've been out of the TV loop for about a month,  I'm just finding out that this is the week the Hallmark Channel has it's Keepsake Christmas Event. Luckily, it's only Wednesday, so that means we've only missed two movies. We have plenty of time, to get our holiday fix on!  I've copied the complete list for the week, but if have Satellite TV, you can always do a Key Word search and find other movies I'm sure. I usually search Christmas, Holiday and Santa.

For the past 2 or 3 years, Hallmark has sponsored this event to coincide with their Keepsake Ornament Premiere Event. This year, it takes place on Saturday the 13th and Sunday the 14th. Each store varies, but most have several specials and sales. It's definitely worth stopping by, even if it's just to look at this years ornaments. If you aren't able to make it in person, here is a link to the online Dream Book. 

Duck The Halls

 

Attention all Duck Dynasty Fans!! It's June and we have something to look forward to in October. Let the countdown begin for DUCK THE HALLS...Yes, DUCK THE HALLS!! I had the best laugh this morning when I heard on the radio, that the Robertson family is releasing a Christmas CD. A variety CD of sorts they say, with lots of surprises and some special guest. I've got 3 on my gift list already. Next thing I know, I'll be out buying a duck hunting snowman for my yard!! 

 I'm not a big country fan normally, but I have to admit I really like the Darius Rucker song Wagon Wheel. It also happens to feature the Robertson family. I seen the premiere of the video on the show, but finally heard it on the radio last week.

New Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie...Have A Little Faith!

It's that time of year again. ABC will be featuring a new Hallmark Hall of Fame movie this coming Sunday to kick off the holiday season. It's titled Have a Little Faith! Be sure to set your DVR, they never disapoint. 

"A Very Gaga Thanksgiving"

"A Very Gaga Thanksgiving"

I'm not sure how I feel about this one or just how excited I am, but with Lady Gaga you never know. For those of you who have "Little Monsters" as family or friends, this may be a fun thing for them to tune into on Thanksgiving. I'm not sure it's Thanksgiving worthy, but in our home, we'll at least save it on the DVR to watch later. I am curious to see the Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett version of White Christmas. 

Here are some details listed on Huffington Post. 

_____________________________________________________________________________

Lady Gaga is set to celebrate the annual national day of gratitude, family, and overindulgence with her own 90-minute prime-time Thanksgiving special on ABC reports MTV.com.

Airing November 24, aka Thanksgiving night, "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving," directed by Gaga, will feature the singer performing eight songs -- including recent hits like "You and I" and "The Edge of Glory," as well "The Lady is a Tramp," her duet with Tony Bennett, and the holiday favorite "White Christmas" -- in front of her family and closest friends.

The pop star will also be visiting Convent of the Sacred Heart Catholic School, which she and other famous women like Paris Hilton and Caroline Kennedy attended, to chat with news anchor Katie Couric about her life and career.

"We all know Lady Gaga is a phenomenon," Couric said in a statement. "This is a chance to see more of who she is beneath the wild costumes and staged musical numbers... Lady Gaga as a high school student still bruised by being excluded from the party, Lady Gaga as a devoted daughter and caring sister, Lady Gaga as a 25-year-old woman embracing fame and fortune that seemed to come overnight. She will impress you, delight you and surprise you."

And because Thanksgiving is nothing without the food, Gaga and chef Art Smith will whip up a few dishes, including deep-fried turkey and waffles reports CNN.
