40 Spooky Streaming Programs You Can Binge This Halloween
Some have said that the PBS app is not the place to go for things Halloween.
Some have been wrong. Between now and All Hallow's Eve, you could spend every waking minute streaming spooky stuff on the free PBS App.
Obviously, at the top of the list is the show dedicated to all things ghosts and goblins: Monstrum. There, you can find videos on everything from the Grim Reaper to Baba Yaga, Slender Man, and an Australian vampire that sucks your blood with its toes.

If these are too many choices for you, let me recommend just one:
Here’s what I wrote after watching it:
"I have a PhD in Literature with an emphasis on the undead." That is the coolest sentence I've heard spoken all year. I expected a light-hearted romp through some fun B-movies. I should have remembered that I work for PBS — it's so much better than that. This documentary traces the roots of the zombie all the way back to Africa and then to life in slavery. You'll learn about the American who brought salacious accounts of zombies back from Haiti in 1929. And you’ll discover how "Night of the Living Dead" was so important in the struggle against racism.
