Seasonal Shows and Movies to Binge during Fall Break
October 19, 2020
Fall break is normally a small vacation from the stress of school. Students take advantage of the relieve by taking a trip, visiting family, or hanging out with friends. With the current events – *ahem ahem* Covid-19 – following the normal is simply impossible. Bingeing on a new and interesting show can fill the empty lull of activities. Luckily this month is bringing a sack full of new shows and movies across multiple streaming platforms.
For those interested in indulging in the spooky atmosphere of this upcoming Halloween, The Haunting of Bly Manor is a good place to start. Coming to Netflix October 9th, the day Fall Break starts. This spooky web series would pair perfectly with apple cider and a fuzzy blanket to hide under. More shows debuting on Netflix Hube Halloween, October 7th, A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting, October 15th, and Enola Holmes suit those seeking a more lighthearted take on the Halloween theme.
For those entertaining an audience too young for the aforementioned media, the arrival of Over the Moon, Yogi Bear, The Croods, and Smurfs 2 should entertain young children for hours.
A shortlist of media from Netflix with the release date and genre is listed below-
- Sword Art Online, Season 3, October 1st, Action Anime
- Rebecca. October 21st, Psychological
