There’s a lot to watch on Prime Video in October and, as you may have guessed, there’s spooky stuff galore in amongst Prime’s usual rotation of extensive library content.
In the movie Totally Killer, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star Kiernan Shipka travels back in time to the 1980s to stop a serial killer. Then there’s Make Me Scream, a Halloween special that challenges celebrities to “a gruesome game of terror.” Renfield will also be streaming on the service for anyone who’s been dying (muahahaha!) to catch the Nic Cage Dracula film.
Outside of Prime Video’s more creepy fare, Shazam! Fury Of The Gods will debut, Upload will be back for a third season, and new film Awareness should scratch your sci-fi itch. Meanwhile, for Frasier heads – those who consider themselves utterly Frasier-pilled – all eleven seasons of the Cheers spinoff show will be streaming at the touch of a button.

Markie Post, who became a star in the 1980s playing a plucky public defender on “Night Court” and had a long run of TV roles, died Saturday at her home in Los Angeles. She was 70.
Post waged a nearly four-year fight with cancer. She kept working until very recently despite her illness.
Post co-starred in the 2019 Lifetime movie “Christmas Reservations” and logged a guest shot that year on the first season of Netflix drama “Soundtrack.” In recent years, Post had recurring roles on NBC’s “Chicago, P.D.,” ABC’s “The Kids are Alright” and Netflix’s “The Santa Clarita Diet.”
Post grew up in Northern California and got her start working behind the scenes on game shows such as “Double Dare” and “Card Sharks” in the 1970s. She moved into working in front of the camera with game show appearances and guest shots on such series as “CHiPs,” “Barnaby Jones,...

Hallmark’s famed Christmas movies have been known for revisiting the same stable of stars — which until recently, hasn’t left much room for faces that aren’t white. But this season, the brand has made an effort for diversity. It’s no longer a whitewashed Christmas on Hallmark, though it still has a way to go for a truly inclusive winter wonderland.
Previously, people of color were only relegated to supporting roles such as the sassy best friend or goofy co-worker. Though to be fair, Hallmark did occasionally cast biracial white-passing actresses like Jessica Szohr, Katrina Law, Alexa PenaVega, or new duchess Meghan Markle as the romantic lead. A few years ago, Hallmark even had a partnership with Mariah Carey, which resulted in her appearing in and directing “A Christmas Melody,” about putting on a school’s Christmas pageant.
But after that brief partnership ended, inclusion hadn’t really been prioritized until recently.

Here’s the only plausible explanation for “Pottersville,” a nearly unwatchable — but inexplicably star-studded — new Christmas comedy which is making a brief pitstop in select theaters before spending the rest of eternity in the storage room of your local Walmart: A veteran producer at the Hallmark Channel was at the end of his rope (for the purposes of this hypothetical scenario, let’s pretend said producer was “Pottersville” director Seth Henrikson, whose sparse IMDb credits leave plenty to the imagination). Frustrated by a career spent churning out festive — and weirdly horny — shlock like “A Very Merry Mix-Up,” “Matchmaker Santa” (featuring Lacey Chabert), and “A Boyfriend for Christmas” (the story of an infatuated girl who wastes her 20s waiting for Santa Claus to come down her chimney), he finally broke.

Some people collect stamps. I wish I collected stamps, that would be infinitely easier than my hobby, which is collecting Saved By The Bell cast members in Christmas movies. Think of it as Panini stickers on ultra hard mode.
Sadly, my collection depends on the whims and careers of the various Bayside alumni. I'm not doing too badly; so far I have five of the six main cast members, and a few supporting characters.

Melissa Joan Hart stars as a struggling artist-waitress whose boyfriend breaks up with her before the holidays.

Poor Melissa Joan Hart, man. Girl just can't catch a break, and it's probably got all to do with "Holiday in Handcuffs," the heartwarming holiday movie that you're most likely too ashamed to admit you love. See, Melissa went and hopped on the Kickstarter bandwagon, hoping to raise $2m for a movie in which she'd play the romantic comedy lead (since no one's handing these things out to her these days or anything), and needless to say, it failed. And it failed miserably. So miserably. The film was to be called "Darci's Walk of Shame," and even though the title is probably the worst thing you read all day long, it sounded like it might have had promise. The synopsis read, "an impulsive act has Darci face enormous hurdles to get back to her sister’s wedding and avoid her family witness her first walk of shame."Melissa's goal...

Santa Claus (1959)

Don't be fooled by the utilitarian title: Santa Claus is less a biopic of the jelly-bellied gift-giver than a warped Christmas fever dream in which he happens to play a supporting role. The film's real star is Lucifer, who – angered by society's unshakeable devotion to Saint Nick – sends forth a horned demon to turn the children of Earth against him. Santa, hard at work in his orbiting space castle (don't ask) is powerless to help as the campy incubus schemes to corrupt virtuous little boys and girls.

I don’t care who you are, or how much you may try to deny it, ABC Family‘s 25 Days of Christmas is on your list of holiday traditions. There’s something for everyone throughout the season, and many of the best holiday shows and movies pop up at some point.
Now, the romantic holiday fare that ABC Family has become known for may not be for everyone, but one thing is undeniable, if these (I think admittedly) cheesy flights of fancy are for you, your plate is full.
If you enjoy titles in the general genre made up by such entries as Santa Baby, Holiday in Handcuffs, or 12 Dates of Christmas, you have a lot of options coming your way. This may well be capped off this year by the potential King of all holiday efforts, The Mistle-Tones.

J-Lo-Ho flashes cleavage to try and convince him to help. I'm not sure how people are going to end up shocked when she ends up hooking. She's complaining about sub-prime loans -- gosh, Lifetime is so topical! My God, this movie is chock full of sexist stereotypes. Mrs. Tk has described it as "some of the most fantastically one-dimensional stereotypes I've ever seen in my television-watching life." She's not incorrect. J-Lo-Ho and her friends (the Skinny Friend, the Blond Friend, and the Black Friend) just spent five minutes complaining about how men only want sex. I've never wanted to Human Centipede three people more. -- Tk

Mario Lopez, Melissa Joan Hart, a Christmas story about kidnapping and wrongful imprisonment… Sure, let’s see what that’s all about. Here’s a promo for ABC Family’s Holiday in Handcuffs. First, let’s give credit where credit is due. Rather than just giving Melissa Joan Hart glasses for the whole “lady is attractive but looks terrible at first” trope, they went the Cheri Oteri SNL character route. That’s a new and unique way of doing that. Good job, Holiday in Handcuffs. Now, onto everything else. ABC Family ruined Christmas. I get that ABC Family holiday movies aren’t for me, but normally I can at least tell who they’re for. This, however, seems to be for no one at all. You can’t just pretend kidnapping at gun point is cute. Faulty Premise. Christmas is cancelled everyone. Go get your gifts back from that charity you donate gifts to.

Three cable networks saw solid returns from original holiday movies during the weekend, with ABC Family's Holiday in Handcuffs leading the pack with nearly 7 million viewers tuning in.
Meanwhile, initial projections are showing that Disney Channel and USA Network are in a tight race for this year's total-viewers crown among basic cable networks, while USA is leading TBS in the key demo of adults 18-49.
Handcuffs averaged 6.7 million total viewers from 8-10 p.m. Sunday, making it ABC Family's most-watched telecast ever, according to Nielsen Media Research. The movie, starring Mario Lopez and Melissa Joan Hart, also set network records in key demos, including adults 18-49 (3.2 million viewers), adults 18-34 (1.6 million), women 18-49 (2.1 million) and women 18-34 (1.1 million) and ranked as Sunday's No. 1 cable telecast in those demos. The movie peaked in its final quarter-hour with 7.8 million viewers.
For the week, Handcuffs was the second-most-watched cable telecast behind ESPN's record-breaking Monday Night Football telecast.
Lifetime and Hallmark Channel also got good news with their original holiday movies. Lifetime's "Lost Holiday: The Jim and Suzanne Shemwell Story," starring Jami Gertz and Dylan Walsh, averaged 3.6 million viewers 9-11 p.m. Sunday. Before Lost Holiday, a 7 p.m. airing of the Rob Lowe/Kimberly Williams-Paisley telefilm The Christmas Shoes averaged 3.9 million viewers, becoming Lifetime's most-watched weekend movie of the year.
Meanwhile, Hallmark Channel's The Note, starring Genie Francis and Ted McGinley, averaged 3.9 million viewers in its debut at 9-11 p.m. Saturday. The Note stands as Hallmark's third-most-watched original movie premiere ever.
