Hi, {{first_name | friend}}!
Happy Monday! October is arguably the best month for movie nights. The sun sets earlier, staying in feels like a treat rather than a missed opportunity, and there’s no shortage of atmospheric things to watch. The only question is how much sleep you’re willing to sacrifice for a good scare. Luckily, we’ve got options for everyone today with our annual spooky season streaming guides!
PS: Last week I asked which rumored actor you want to see as the next James Bond. And a whopping 40% of votes went to Idris Elba! 🍸
Happy streaming,
Meredith

A catastrophe.
