If you’ve been waiting on your annual month of scary content, you might find this line up lacking. Not nearly the barrage of fright films as usual. Not even the Great Pumpkin stops by this year.
But there are a lot of favorites coming back. SNL is back live, Fear of the Walking Dead returns and the vapid musings of The Bachelorette. Who am I kidding? I’m so excited about the return of Below Deck I can’t stand it. Enjoy!
