Hey everyone! Hope you're doing well and enjoying the start of the fall season! October is here, and we're quickly approaching another Halloween season! As we get ready to don our costumes and make room for the cascade of bite-sized candy headed our way...there's always one thing I look forward to the most. Scary movies! I've always been a horror movie fanatic, from the classic 1978 masterpiece "Halloween" to newer classics like "It Follows" and "Weapons" (seriously...check both of those out asap). I love it all. Even better, did you know that Optik TV On Demand has its very own Halloween themed section called "Trick or Treat"? Well, it does and let me tell you...it's awesome. From classic slasher flicks to modern horror masterpieces, there's something for everyone. There's even more family friendly choices for those with little ones, so no worries there. You can even check out some Halloween themed scenes for free...perfect for leaving on in the background during that fantastic party you're hosting. In celebration of this great time of year, allow me to recommend a few movies for you to check out both with the kids, and once they've gone to sleep and you're (gasp!) left all alone in the dark of night. If you're not already dozing off after that 19th mini Snickers bar. We've all been there. No regrets. Thrills and Chills Where to begin? Our On Demand 'Trick or Treat' section has a ton of great horror movies to choose from. From classics like The Shining, Se7en, The Craft, and The Blair Witch Project to newer classics like Halloween Ends or the stellar The Black Phone, there's something for all tastes. Whether you're looking for pure horror or something with a funny twist (Beetlejuice, anyone?) we've got you covered. Here's a few I recommend: Weapons - Easily my favourite horror movie of 2025. In a sleepy town, seventeen children from a third grade class suddenly wake up and run from their homes at 2:17am, disappearing into the night. A father and the class teacher must uncover the mystery and find the missing children. Dark, unsettling, and suspenseful. Terrific movie. Longlegs - In the same vein as thriller classics 'Se7en' and 'The Silence of The Lambs', the amazing 'Longlegs' stars Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage. An FBI agent is assigned to an unsolved serial killer case that takes an unexpected turn, revealing evidence of the occult. One of my favorite movies; an instant thriller classic. Bring Her Back - A dark Australian horror film, Bring Her Back follows two half-siblings who find themselves orphaned and inadvertently placed into an occult ritual by their new foster mother. This really gets the nerves rattled, with some sinister themes and a terrific young cast. Highly recommended. Family Frights Looking for something with that Halloween touch without giving the kids nightmares for weeks? We've got your back. Here are some great family oriented Halloween movies that you're sure to love as well! Ghostbusters - Who ya gonna call? The cultural hit from the 1980's that spawned an empire of video games, toys, and no less than four subsequent movies, that's who! A hilariously haunted time awaits you and your kids (a few jump scares and ghosts, but nothing too bad!) so this is always a can't-miss to check out during the Halloween season! The Nightmare Before Christmas - Tim Burton's stop-motion classic is a great time for the family! Jack Skellington, Halloween Town's "Pumpkin King" stumbles onto Christmas Town and schemes to take it over. Featuring delightful sing-alongs and classic characters, it's a surefire hit! The Monster Squad - A fun horror movie from the mid-80's that is now a cult classic, The Monster Squad is a group of scary movie loving teenagers that must band together when a group of classic horror villains come to life! A brave group of kids with no fear vs. Dracula, The Wolf Man, and Frankenstein's Monster? Sounds like a blast to me! There's all this and more! You can rent or even purchase brand new movies (even in 4K HDR!) to own. So kick back, bust out some of that awesome candy your kids scored (other than candy corn because, well...come on) and have a Happy Halloween!Streaming on TELUS - Februrary 2026
Hey everyone! Hope you're doing well and enjoying the new year! February is right around the corner, and another month means another new batch of great movies and shows to check out on Optik TV! Remember, you can catch all the hottest new content as part of our awesome Stream+ package to get Netflix Premium, Disney+ and Prime Video all at a discounted rate! Let's take a look at some of the highly anticipated titles streaming in February as well as what I'm hooked on now! Coming in February February 5 - The Lincoln Lawyer (Season 4) - Netflix The return of Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as the iconic lawyer, back to tackle another thrilling case in this smash hit based on the series of novels. February 19 - The Night Agent (Season 3) - Netflix FBI agent Peter Sutherland returns in another season of the hit political thriller series. Most Anticipated The Lincoln Lawyer (Season 4) - Netflix Based on the bestselling novel series by Michael Connelly (also responsible for the fantastic 'Bosch' books/series), The Lincoln Lawyer is back. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo returns as Mickey Haller, Los Angeles' most dedicated defense attorney. Trouble seems to find Mickey in every season, and things seem no different this time around. After the shocking finale of Season 3 (no spoilers!) there's more than ever at stake now that Mickey himself is the client. With his reputation, and his very life, on the line, he'll need to do everything he can to prevail in the end. I'm a huge fan of this series. The writing is quick, the acting sharp, and there's enough cliffhangers in almost every episode to keep you coming back for more. Garcia-Rulfo definitely shines as the titular character, with a great supporting cast that's both well-rounded and hilarious. If you're a fan of political or courtroom thrillers, The Lincoln Lawyer is for you. All three seasons are streaming now so you have time to catch up before the new season drops February 5 only on Netflix! What I'm Watching Now Fallout (Season 2) - Prime Video I'm so pumped that Fallout is back! The megahit post-apocalyptic series based on the worldwide phenomenon video game series has returned for an action-packed second season! In this story, there are the haves and have-nots. Set about 200 years after the 'end of the world' bombs dropped, the denizens of a series of luxury fallout shelters underground are forced to return topside into a world full of radiation, mutated creatures, raiders, and countless other dangers. This series centers around Lucy MacLean, a citizen of Vault 33 as she returns to the surface chasing after her father, who has a lot of things to answer for after the nuclear decimation of the planet. She partners unwittingly with Cooper Howard, a former actor who has since mutated into a ghoul, making his way as a gunslinger and bounty hunter. While fans of the video games will undoubtedly love the series, there's a lot to love for the uninitiated. If you're a fan of over-the-top humor and action, combined with a star-studded cast and fantastic special effects, you're sure to love Fallout. Both seasons of the hit series are now streaming on Prime Video. It's a super fun series to kick back with and enjoy! ICYMI: Not subscribed to Stream+ yet? No worries!
