Scream 1-3 - Stan

If there was one series you were going to watch at Halloween, it's got to be the Scream franchise right?

The Walking Dead - Binge

If you're more keen for a slow burn, then maybe a TV show is for you. The Walking Dead has been running since 2010, so there's plenty of material for you.
