There’s a reason why Día De Muertos follows after Halloween, and for those who want a weekend of interacting with the other side, we got a guide!
Not everyone marks Día de Muertos on their calendar, but if you’re the sort who digs the counter-spirit of Halloween—less horror, more heart—then this Central American celebration is absolutely worth your attention. This isn’t a solemn affair; it’s a fiesta of remembrance, colour, and community.Continue reading “Celebrate Día de Muertos World Wide! A Streaming Guide”
Packed with 80s-style effects, quirky characters, and perfectly timed laughs, Scared Shitless is a cult-worthy horror comedy that keeps viewers guessing who will be next on the “smorgasbord” of victims. #Horror #Comedy #CreatureFeature #BMovie #Canadian
Now Playing on Netflix
Scared Shitless is a hilarious tribute to the Alien franchise. When a resident of an apartment complex accidentally unleashes a strange-looking leech into the sewer system, chaos erupts in ways that go beyond the typical single-location horror formula. While it recalls the frantic energy of Evil Dead: Arise, the film also channels the streetwise vibe of Attack the Block, albeit with a distinctly Canadian twist. And like most films that premiered the previous year at Fantasia Film Festival, it’s now available to stream, or should I say scream?
In tone and aesthetic, the Ghoulies influence feels stronger than The Blob. Written by Brandon Cohen and directed by Vivieno Caldinelli, the narrative reminds us that some of the scariest threats lurk just beneath our feet. Unlike creature features, where monsters simply leap out to snap at whatever’s nearby, this story also centers on a father-and-son duo attempting to save the residents from the sewer-dwelling menace.
Ninjago: Dragons Rising delivers its most emotional and action-packed season yet, ending with a powerful cliffhanger and hints of what’s to come.
Available to view on Netflix
Spoiler Alert
With the latest season of Dragons Rising wrapped and a monumental cliffhanger setting up what’s next, Ninjago fans like me are already eager for more. Despite rumours of an October release, many were pleasantly surprised when the new episodes dropped in early September. Now that I’m caught up, I can only hope Season Four follows the darker, more mature tone of Ninjago Legends: Monstrosity (2025) and its sequel, Kai’s Monstrous Journey.
Both YouTube exclusives carry the torch of old-school Ninjago storytelling—gritty wuxia flair, elemental mysticism, and the personal struggle that defined the early years. Of the two, the first stands out with its blend of feudal drama and fiery survival. Kai, alone in a hostile wildland, must rediscover magic without Nya’s guiding presence—a refreshing focus on inner strength and resilience.

Discover the top sci-fi and fantasy series 2025 to watch this fall and winter, from long-awaited finales to exciting new premieres on streaming.
With autumn in full swing in some parts of the world, the season brings a fresh wave of supernatural and sci-fi delights to television and streaming services. While some releases that started in August kind of counts, I must mention Alien: Earth along with Peacemaker. But for the official start of the season, here are five other sci-fi and fantasy series 2025 that I’m most looking forward to checking out this fall and winter.
And at long last, the much-anticipated finale of Secret Things is arriving—a conclusion that’s been years in the making. But I have to begin with:
Premieres: October 26, 2025The Talamasca has long been whispered about in Anne Rice’s gothic novels, but this series finally puts them under the spotlight. As supernatural auditors, they keep tabs on vampires, witches, and all things that go bump in the night. On screen, that mix feels like The X-Files with rosaries and velvet capes. Launching just before Halloween, AMC is clearly betting that occult espionage and candlelit conspiracies will hook fans old and new.
Premieres: November 7, 2025 (two-episode launch)
From the team that gave us Severance comes a new nine-part series that promises to probe the ethics of power and technology. Pluribus looks polished, eerie, and loaded with allegory. If Black Mirror had a sibling that was less anthology and more serialized thriller, this would be it. With Apple’s knack for moody prestige sci-fi, this one could ignite serious water-cooler debates.
Premieres: November 19, 2025
Critical Role isn’t slowing down. If The Legend of Vox Machina captured the spirit of high-energy campaigns, The Mighty Nein dives into murkier waters. This crew is scrappy, emotional, and gloriously messy—a perfect match for fans who like their fantasy tangled with moral ambiguity. Expect dazzling animation, sharp humour, and references that will reward long-time Critters while still staying friendly for newcomers to Exandria.
Begins: November 26, 2025 (Volume 1)
The Hawkins saga has always been more than just monsters—it’s a love letter to the 80s, stitched together with friendship and nostalgia. The final season arrives in three parts, carrying fans through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and into New Year’s Eve. Few series have defined a decade of streaming like this one, and its conclusion is poised to be an event. Whether it sticks the landing alongside the greats remains to be seen, but one thing’s certain: Stranger Things is ending on its own terms, fireworks and all.
Premieres: September 24, 2025
The Marvel multiverse takes a grotesque detour as Earth’s mightiest heroes become flesh-eating nightmares. With returning MCU voice talent, this isn’t just a side story—it’s Marvel embracing horror. The art style is bloodier, the tone darker, and for fans of the original comic run, this is long overdue.
Streaming dominates the landscape for bold sci-fi and fantasy, but a few network shows still merit a glance for casual genre fans. These are ongoing series:
There are various ways to pine away during the last few days of this summer season. What we offer is a list of our favourite picks to peck the last dog days of animated wonders with ease.
This long weekend marks the Dog Days of Animated Wonders, with Netflix, Shout! Studios, and Crunchyroll offering escapes tailor-made for summer. If you’re skipping a last-minute vacation, the sun might feel more like an opponent than a friend.
Even on Disney Plus (availability varies by region), Summer Time Rendering pulls you into a sun-soaked island mystery, while on Crunchy Laid-Back Camp lets you enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of your couch. And this year, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is returning in a 4K restoration to be released onto home video and getting theatrical screenings, just as the season winds down—making it the ideal end-of-summer watch.

From anime-inspired yokai to a darker live-action origin story, Mystery Inc. and the gang are gearing up for thrilling new adventures that we hope will air in 2026.
Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang may be taking a brief break before their next adventure. The last series, Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, wrapped in 2021, and since Velma exists in its own universe, fans—including me—are asking for a proper weekly series to enjoy. Three movies arrived in the past three years: Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog, Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!, and Scooby-Doo! and Krypto, Too! The last one stood out, and I’d love to see more from that pairing.
Looking ahead, fans can expect an anime-inspired series set in Japan and a live-action origin story from Netflix. Details remain limited, but here’s what’s known.
Cartoon Network and Max have green-lit Go-Go Mystery Machine, an anime-styled Scooby-Doo adventure that sends Shaggy and Scooby across the Pacific. They’ll join a new team featuring Etsuko and Toshiro along with another mascot. Together, they’ll face Japanese monsters and yokai, blending folklore with the franchise’s familiar “unmask the villain” formula.
If you haven’t caught the GeGeGe no Kitaro reference, it’s because you haven’t explored this seminal work, which celebrates yokai culture at its fullest. It nods to Kitaro, a series that helped popularize yokai in Japanese media, signalling that this Scooby-Doo adventure draws on rich folklore rather than simply borrowing visual style.
The art direction leans heavily into Japanese influences, and fans online already call it “the Scooby-Doo anime we always wanted.” No premiere date is set, but industry watchers suggest late 2025, depending on production schedules.
Netflix has ordered an eight-episode live-action reimagining of Scooby-Doo’s origins. The story unfolds during the gang’s last summer at Camp Ruby-Spears, where Shaggy and Daphne discover a supernatural murder. This setup subtly echoes The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, where the focus was on these two characters—a connection that gives fans an Easter-egg-style nod. They’ll either adopt or meet Scoob, and some sources indicate he will appear as a puppy. He’ll be key to a greater mystery that brings Velma and newcomer Freddy into the investigation.
With no casting news and only a few months left in 2025, filming this year seems unlikely. Expect a release in late 2026 or 2027. Showrunners Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg excel at high-concept reboots, while executive producer Greg Berlanti (Riverdale) brings experience with teen drama and moody reinterpretations. With this team, viewers can expect a darker, more character-driven take. Rumours suggest a Stranger Things-style vibe, a fitting direction now that series has wrapped.
From Japanese ghosts to Netflix’s summer-camp mystery, Scooby-Doo continues to show his versatility. A 2026 debut looks more realistic than anything this year. Warner Bros. rarely promotes smaller launches, so a surprise direct-to-video release around Halloween isn’t impossible. Regardless, what’s in progress suggests a strong future for this classic hound.
