    Makes me almost want to get cable.

    • Kate

      I’ve heard you can sign up through like one channel for a month with prime! I was hoping to give it a shot for Hallmark Christmas movies!

    • Sarah

      Yes! ^ This lineup (and the 25 days of Christmas on the same channel) are the ONLY things that I miss about not having cable 🙁

  2. Boyntwinmama

    How can you do this? I googled, but only saw where you can use the app if you have a TV provider.

  3. *Angela-Miles*

    These look like a nice lineup, but I will be tuning into Fear fest on AMC,…..if they have it this year Lol ;-).

  4. Kim

    Is Freform a satellite channel? We have Dish Network. I’ll have to look for this because it sure looks fun!

    • Sarah

      Awesome!^^ Thanks so much for the link!!

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Too cute! Thanks for sharing!

  5. Selena

    Thanks for this post and the helpful comments guys! I probably wouldn’t have known otherwise. Looking forward to October…I love Halloween.

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh me too! You’re welcome, Selena!

  6. Deb E

    I love Halloween too and this reminds me I have Monsters, Inc yet to watch in my Movies Anywhere account (don’t get cable), and the latest free movie a while back, X-Men: Days of Future Past, to watch also. I have some classic Halloween DVDs but always on the lookout for more scary, zombie, or alien movies to collect and have fun watching.

  7. Quentin

    Mrs. Doubtfire is not a Halloween movie. Ditto for Willy Wonka.

  8. Bryant

    They totally lost me at The Breakfast Club. And Hocus Pocus should be on every single night! Just saying.
