Alucard's Bat-tastic Guide To Hallowe'en On Roku..... - Day #31 - SILVER SCREAM SATURDAY (Final Screening)

HAPPY HALLOWE'EN, EVERYBODY !!!!!!!

Well, Boils & Ghouls... the BIG DAY has arrived !! Yes, October 31st is here at last and FINALLY we can REALLY get into the spirit of things (ahem!) and celebrate HALLOWE'EN in fine style !! Of course, this also means that the Countdown To Hallowe'en 2015 is now over, and this will be the very last post in the month-long blogathon that was "Alucard's Bat-tastic Guide To Hallowe'en On Roku"!

Now those of you who have been regular visitors to this blog throughout the past month could well have come here today expecting another "Silver Scream Saturday" post but, given that October 31st is Hallowe'en, I thought I'd do something a little different today... so, I'll apologise now to anyone who feels let down by this unexpected change. Anyway, since much of the content for this month-long blogathon was geared towards hosting some sort of spooky soirée on Hallowe'en which could easily have involved catering for any number of ghoulish guests, I thought I'd dedicate this last post to anyone that might be spending the night alone (rather than at a social gathering) and offer-up a "best of the rest" selection of Hallowe'en / Horror-related Roku channels that you can settle-in to for the night and stream to your TV screen from the comfort of your armchair (bed, sofa, etc.) thanks to the "magic" of Roku !!

Before I get started on my "best of the rest" list, may I first suggest that you take a look back over the recommendations that were made throughout the month of October, under the extremely cryptic banner of "Alucard's Bat-tastic Guide To Hallowe'en On Roku", to see if any of those entries tickle your fancy for a "Spooky Saturday Hallowe'en Soirée" chez-vous !! My advice would be to first peruse the varied selection of "Macabre Movie Monday" horror films and/or my vintage horror recommendations of the silver screen from previous "Silver Scream Saturday" posts, not forgetting to also consider those which featured on "Wicked Watch Wednesday" in mid-week (all month long). Failing that... if you think you'd prefer more of an "audible" experience this evening, instead of something viciously "visual" to arouse the senses, then why not look back through each of the "Terrifying Tuesday Tunes" blog posts for some Hallowe'en "ear candy" to fill your virtual "trick 'r treat" bags?! Once you've decided on "sight" or "sound", you might well want to prepare a little something (food and/or drink-wise) to tempt your taste buds prior to commencing your streaming session and, to that end, there are (of course) both my "Fiendish Food Friday" and "Toxic Tipple Thursday" series of posts which should cater to all your needs in that respect. Then, while you're at it, why not take a look at each "Shocking Sunday Surprise", in case any of those happen to catch your interest?!

Anyway... if, after all that, you still haven't found something that you can sit & stream every shock & scream to, then don't panic because I have THIRTEEN TERRIFYING TREATS in reserve for you. These, for the most part, are the bread and butter of streaming horror channels... they fly the flag for "horror" all year round, and not just on Hallowe'en, which many of the so-called "big-hitters" are often guilty of. So, in addition to all of the channels featured (both this year & in the past) as part of my annual "Countdown To Hallowe'en" month-long blogathon, please spend some time checking out the following stalwarts of horror streaming on Roku and PREPARE TO GET YOUR FRIGHT ON !!!!!!

Anyway, that's about as much as I can offer you in terms of Hallowe'en entertainment on your Roku player goes (at least, for the time being) so, hopefully you have all managed to find a channel or two with sufficient content to make your Hallowe'en season just that extra bit special this time around?!

Unfortunately, if these particular Hallowe'en / Horror-themed Roku channels weren't to your liking then YOU WILL HAVE A LONG WAIT as there won't be any more of these dedicated posts until October 2016, when the successor to: "Alucard's Bat-tastic Guide To Hallowe'en On Roku"will be unveiled. Still, that's not to say that there won't be the odd one or two cropping-up from time to time in my regular 'Weekly RoundUp' posts between now and then. Meanwhile... have a safe and happy Hallowe'en 2015 and, when you're done with this blog, please be sure to take some time (as I will) to visit the other contributors to the 2015 Countdown To Hallowe'en and discover all of the Hallowe'en treats that they have been serving-up every day throughout the past month especially for you !!

Fangs (as always) for stopping by !!

Alucard's Bat-tastic Guide To Hallowe'en On Roku..... - Day #26 - MACABRE MOVIE MONDAY (Scream Four)

Welcome back, Boils & Ghouls...

... to 'Day Twenty-Six' of "Alucard's Bat-tastic Guide To Hallowe'en On Roku" which brings us to the fourth & final instalment of "Macabre Movie Monday" for 2015 - a series of posts in which I have been recommending a succession of horror movies that'll send shivers down your spine & outlining various channels through which those films can all be streamed to your TV via the magic of Roku player !!

So... if you're planning to while away the hours, during these dark autumnal evenings, by watching a string of Hallowe'en / Horror-themed movies to get into the "spirit" of things, you could do worse than to look back through the posts made via this blog EVERY MONDAY since the start of October for more creepy cinema classics with which to "get your fright on" in readiness for Hallowe'en !!

Today, as with last week, rather than share just one movie with you - as I did in the earlier posts from this series - I thought I'd continue with a Roku channel that offers live-streaming horror, as well as a selection of video on demand (VoD), among the content therein... boosting the Hallowe'en / Horror movie choices for all you Roku film fans out there while adding yet another dynamic to the Hallowe'en entertainment on Roku ahead of the frightful festivities coming our way on October 31st !!

It probably comes as no surprise to you, that this horror movie-based Roku channel can be found in the "Movies & TV" genre (i.e. category) of the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store. If you haven't heard of Cryptic Television before, it describes itself as the premiere FREE online horror channel, offering not only the best horror movies available online - ALL FREE - but also the most interesting and intense original programming. You can watch all the movies in their FULL glory, as the creators originally intended, each one 100% complete & without being edited down or chopped to death by the FCC and other censorship bodies. It really is the best place to find feature-length horror movies, plus B-rated and independent horror films in a live-streaming format, not just online, but now on your Roku player too. Throw in the ADDED BONUS of original programming, PLUS an extensive selection of horror movies in the VoD library, and you have one of the best horror rides on any streaming media player. 

***********************************

It may further interest you to know that, according to the channel description for 'Cryptic Television' taken from the Official Roku Website, the channel's content providers are also responsible for the development of the 'Cryptic Television' horror channel on Roku so, obviously, their talents don't just end with providing feature-length movies, plus B-rated and independent films to fulfil your horror needs. Meanwhile, if you'd like to discover more about the 'Cryptic Television' live-streaming / VoD horror movie channel on Roku, you can visit their Official Website VIA THIS LINK. You can also connect with 'Cryptic Television' via their Twitter Feed: @CrypticTV1 or else, get social with them through: Cryptic Television (Facebook)

Those of you who wish to add this channel to the Hallowe'en-themed entertainment on your Roku player(s) but are, perhaps, unable to access the Channel Store on your device at this precise moment... can also take care of things by simply LOGGING-IN to your Online Roku Account, scrolling down to the 'Manage Account' section, and using the "Add a Channel" option. That way, when you do have access to your Roku player, the 'Cryptic Television' horror channel will be there ready for you to watch whenever you so choose !! All you must do to achieve this, is type the following access code under "Add a Channel" and click the 'Add Channel' button:-

ACCESS CODE:- cryptictv

Anyway, that's pretty much all there is to it, except to point out that the 'Cryptic Television' horror channel has been given an average score of "3.5 out of 5" from 1, 217 ratings (so far) in the channel store description from the Official Roku Website. That statistic alone should be reason enough to give this a try, never mind that ALL THE FILMS ARE FREE TO WATCH  and un-censored too !!

Having said that, if this particular Roku channel was not to your liking, FEAR NOT because there will be more Hallowe'en / Horror themed content in tomorrow's post, as we continue with the month-long blogathon that is: "Alucard's Bat-tastic Guide To Hallowe'en On Roku" offering more devilish delights each and every day throughout the month of October. So... be sure to visit us again in 24-hours for 'Day Twenty-Seven', when I reveal the next batch of Hallowe'en / Horror-related music to feature in my last selection of "Teriffying Tuesday Tunes" in the "Countdown To Hallowe'en" 2015... PLUS, before I sign-off, don't forget to visit the other contributors to the 2015 Countdown To Hallowe'en so you can see what Hallowe'en treats they have in store for you between now and 31st October, too !!

Fangs (as always) for reading !!

Alucard's Bat-tastic Guide To Hallowe'en On Roku..... - Day #25 - SHOCKING SUNDAY SURPRISE (Scare Four)

Welcome back once more, Boils & Ghouls !!

As I'm sure you're all aware, there's now just six days to go in the Countdown To Hallowe'en 2015... but, fortunately, that still leaves time for another six spooktacular posts until my month-long blogathon, "Alucard's Bat-tastic Guide To Hallowe'en On Roku", finally comes to an end on October 31st. If you missed the previous instalments earlier this month then I recommend you go back and take a look at the entire series of posts since, by doing so, you'll be well on your way to having the best Hallowe'en ever, with all of the horror-related Roku content that's been shared (so far) in this spooktacular series !!

Meanwhile... here we are, less than a week away from Hallowe'en, and we're still continuing to bring  horror to the masses by showing you how best to stream it via your Roku player(s). So... what's next on the agenda ?!! Well, as mentioned previously, we think you can never have too much choice in terms of movie(s) to watch over the Hallowe'en season... so, we've continued to scour all of the available channels on the Roku player and (once again) we've managed to come up with another selection of movies for you to choose from. Suffice it to say that, if you're partial to accessing the wealth of content in the public domain, from the comfort of your living room and easily streaming it to your television (via your Roku) then you'll definitely want to add this to your current channel selection, as you prepare for some Hallowe'en / Horror-themed binge-viewing in the build-up to October 31st !!

Once again, it probably comes as no surprise, this public domain content-based Roku channel can be found in the "Movies & TV" genre (i.e. category) of the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store. Generally speaking, the 'Pub-D-Hub' channel provides an assortment of content including classic films, trailers, tv shows, cartoons, radio & more, covering the period from the 1930's to 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's & beyond... all of which can (currently) be watched completely free-of-charge. With multiple genres (i.e. categories) ranging from Action/Adventure to Cartoons, Cautionary Films, Comedy, Commercials, Crime, Drama, Educational Films, Flick or Treat, Horror & Sci-Fi, plus Old Time Radio, Silent Films, Thrillers/Suspense, TV and Westerns, you'll never be hard-pushed to find something that suits your taste. As such you can expect to see anything from the comedy, set in 16th century Spain, known as "The Adventures Of Don Quixote" (1933) directed by Georg Wilhelm Pabst, to the animated short "There's Good Boos Tonight" (1948), directed by Izzy Sparber, which features Casper The Friendly Ghost, or else the sixties family comedy that is "The Beverly Hillbillies", created by Paul Henning, about a nouveau-riche hillbilly family that moves to Beverly Hills and shakes up the privileged society with their Hayseed ways. You'll find multiple episodes of this and many other classic television series available to watch via the 'Pub-D-Hub' channel on Roku. Perhaps best of all, is that all of the content on the 'Pub-D-Hub' channel is COMPLETELY FREE-TO-WATCH too !!

Obviously, having multiple genres to choose from in the main menu of the 'Pub-D-Hub' channel means that not all of the included content is entirely relevant to this post. So, sticking to the general theme of Hallowe'en, the (current) selections to be found in the "Flick or Treat" plus "Horror and Sci-Fi" sections of the 'Pub-D-Hub' channel (incl. IMDB links) are as follows:-

Given that there are only twenty-two titles available in the "Flick or Treat" genre, it's a shame that more than one third of those are also listed among the one hundred and nine titles which comprise the "Horror and Sci-Fi" genre. That said, you still have well over one hundred unique titles to choose from across the two genres and, once you've accessed the main menu of the 'Pub-D-Hub' channel, you'll doubtless find a few others that interest you among the included titles from the remaining genres. 

Still... looking firstly at the "Flick or Treat" category, and (as before) ignoring all titles that have received a special mention in previous posts from this series, my own PICK OF THE BUNCH from the remainder (if a bit obvious to all true horror fans out there) WOULD HAVE TO BE... the short adaptation of "The Fall Of The House Of Usher" (1928) directed by Melville Webber & James Sidley Watson, closely followed by Bram Stoker's "Dracula", taken from the vintage radio show "Mercury Theater On The Air", starring Orson Welles, and "The Black Raven" (1943), directed by Sam Newfield. Aside from that, I'd also recommend checking out the other OTR Shows, as well as the short video "Hallowe'en In Carson City" to see footage of the way that houses are often decorated for Hallowe'en in the USA. On the other end of the scale, ONE'S TO AVOID ARE... most certainly the likes of Larry Buchanan's "It's Alive" (1969) and, perhaps, "Scream Bloody Murder" (1973) directed by Marc B. Ray. After that, you can pretty much take your pick of the rest and you should be alright. 

Moving on to the "Horror and Sci-Fi" category, and (again) ignoring those titles that I've already mentioned in previous posts, as well as those which are also listed under the "Flick or Treat" category, my PICK OF THE BUNCH here is definitely the horror classic, "Deep Red" [aka "Profondo Rosso"] (1975) directed by Dario Argento, closely followed by "Spider Baby" (1968), written & directed by Jack Hill. After that, would be "Daughter Of Horror" (1955), directed by John Parker. Also worthy of a mention is the José Mojica Marins classic, "At Midnight I Will Take Your Soul" from 1964, plus Tod Browning's "Mark Of The Vampire" from 1935. As for non-horror picks, I'd recommend "Star Wreck: In The Pirkinning" (2005), directed by Timo Vuorensola, for a touch of Star Trek related humour, and "Non-Stop New York" (1937), directed by Robert Stevenson, for it's crime drama come murder plot with a bit of a romantic spin, as well as the sci-fi drama of "Transatlantic Tunnel"(1935), directed by Maurice Elvey. On the flip side of the coin, THE ONE'S TO AVOID ARE... the likes of "Manos: The Hands Of Fate"(1966) by Harold P. Warren and the TV movie "Curse Of Bigfoot" from 1976, directed by Dave Flocker. Other howlers that are worth a miss are "The Beast Of Yucca Flats" (1961), directed by Coleman Francis, plus "Horrors Of Spider Island" (1960), directed by Fritz Böttger, and not forgetting "The White Gorilla" (1945), directed by Harry L. Fraser, and "Mesa Of Lost Women" (1953) directed by Ron Ormond & Herbert Tevos. Still, love them or loathe them, this mix of Halloween 'Flick or Treat' content plus the abundance of public domain Horror and Sci-Fi movies will nevertheless ensure that you have plenty of ways to pass the time between my daily doses of Roku-related Hallowe'en horror in "Alucard's Bat-tastic Guide To Hallowe'en On Roku" as well as satisfying your appetite for Horror & Sci-Fi content in the final build-up to Hallowe'en 2015 !!

Meanwhile, if you'd like to discover more about the 'Pub-D-Hub' channel for Roku player, you can do so via their official website FOUND HERE. Those wishing to connect with the 'Pub-D-Hub' channel can use their Twitter Feed: @PubDHub or else, get social via: Pub-D-Hub (Facebook)

It may further interest you to know that, according to the channel description for 'Pub-D-Hub', taken from the Official Roku Website, the channel was developed for Roku by a company called Shadow Mountain Ventures LLC, who are a small group of people in eastern Pennsylvania that share a love for classic television, film and radio. You can read more about their collaboration in the paragraph entitled "Who is Pub-D-Hub?" which can be easily found VIA THIS LINK.

Those of you who wish to add this channel to the Hallowe'en-themed entertainment on your Roku player(s) but are, perhaps, unable to access the Channel Store on your device at this precise moment... can also take care of things by simply LOGGING-IN to your Online Roku Account, scrolling down to the 'Manage Account' section, and using the "Add a Channel" option. That way, when you do have access to your Roku player, the 'Pub-D-Hub' channel will be there ready for you to watch whenever you so choose !! All you must do to achieve this, is type the following access code under "Add a Channel" and click the 'Add Channel' button:-

Anyway, that's pretty much all there is to it, except to point out that the 'Pub-D-Hub' channel has been given an average score of "4.0 out of 5" from 3, 590 ratings (so far) in the channel store description from the Official Roku Website. That statistic alone should be reason enough for you to give this Roku channel a try, never mind that ALL THE CONTENT IS FREE-TO-WATCH too !!
