We close out our October Season run of programming by closing out a Disney Channel franchise with RETURN TO HALLOWEENTOWN. And while these movies may have always been dull, cheap and dumb to varying degrees, they've never been more incoherent than in this last installment. And we're not just talking about the fact that they replaced the lead actress and literally nobody else in the reoccurring cast. So it's not a fond farewell we're paying to Halloweentown, but after sitting through four of these things, it's certainly a happy one.

It's a spooky October Season surprise as the Summer of Muppets returns from beyond the grave. The scariest combination of words in this Disney+ special may just be "corporate synergy" as MUPPETS HAUNTED MANSION plays more as a cross-promotional advertisement for a theme park ride than a natural fit for these beloved puppet characters, but hey - it's still the Muppets getting to do stuff, so it's all ok in our books.

There's a feeling of October in the air, which can only mean one thing. It's time to return to Seabrook High School (AKA Jill's work building) for Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 2. And this time, there's werewolves. Who, in this universe, are all teens who wear the same jewelry and sew fur patches onto their clothes. Disney Channel Original sequels tend to be a bit better than their first iterations, but there's always going to be exceptions to the rule, and this may very well be one of those. 

Welcome to McFARLAND, USA - a small California town made up of a mostly Latinx community, and a new family lead by the latest in a long line of Disney old dads. Only this time, the old dad is Coach Kevin Costner and he's noticed that a lot of these local boys sure can run. Yes, it's another Disney sports movie, which of course means we're in for a good time; and maybe we'll learn one or two obvious lessons along the way as well.
