Pumpkin Surprises, Blumfest Horror, and Zone Troopers’ Alien Invasion!


It's pumpkin spice season, and we've got a wild suggestion for you—how about a little experiment on that infamous site? What happens when you search "pumpkin"? You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results. Trust us, there's an unexpected trend brewing!

In today's episode, we dive into the spooky side of entertainment. AMC Theaters and Blumhouse have announced Blumfest 2024, an epic horror event showcasing iconic scary flicks every Wednesday in October across 54 cities, including some of our favorites, Happy Death Day and The Black Phone. Plus, Prime Video has dropped the trailer for Brothers, starring Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage as twin criminals—yes, you heard that right!

We've also got a Halloween streaming guide for you! Paramount Plus is bringing the screams with classics like It Follows, Event Horizon, and even OG Buffy the Vampire Slayer! And keep an eye out for Halloween specials from Family Guy and The Simpsons on Disney Plus.

But wait—movie theaters are stepping up their game... by adding pickleball courts? Yes, that's real. How does this improve your movie experience? We're still scratching our heads.

Tonight’s featured movie: Zone Troopers (1985). We’ve got American GIs, Nazis, aliens, and B-movie legend Tim Thomerson in an indie sci-fi thriller with a lot of charm. It’s a wild ride, and we’re here to break down our favorite bits, from alien ray guns to out-of-this-world (literally) production design.

Stick around for fan comments, staff picks, and hear about the Sasquatch documentary that had us laughing and, yes, crying! A wild mix of Sasquatch sex, birth, and rejection? You won't want to miss it!

  • Zone Troopers—It’s a Binge Later. Great for fans of indie sci-fi with some B-movie charm, but not quite a must-see.

Enjoy the spooky season and catch all the ghoulish fun right here on Binge Watchers!
