Philo is a handy live TV streaming service, one that comes with more options than it might seem at first glance.

For the past few years now, Harridan Vodka has been celebrating Halloween with special “Paranormal Reserve” vodka, a limited edition batch of spirits aged in the real-life Conjuring House back in 2021 and the museum where the actual Annabelle doll resides in 2022.

Just in time for Halloween, Harridan Vodka has unleashed its third annual Paranormal Reserve Collection, this time around aged in two of America’s most haunted hotels!

The Reserve — consisting of 350 bottles split between the Anderson Hotel in Kentucky and the Crescent Hotel in Arkansas — is the spirit you need this Halloween. Available Now, this year’s collection of 350 bottles rested for one month inside the two hotels!

The Crescent Hotel opened in 1886 as a resort. After a brief stint as a women’s college, it eventually, and most infamously, became an unsanctioned cancer “hospital” run by Norman Baker in the 1930s. 175 bottles rested in what served as Baker’s morgue and autopsy room.

Amazon Plans to Launch Ad-Supported Prime Video Tier (Report)

Freevee has rapidly expanded its Fast offerings over the last...

It was back in June of last year that we learned HBO Max had pulled the plug on the Ridley Scott-produced sci-fi series “Raised by Wolves,” cancelling the show after just two seasons. The series was subsequently pulled from HBO Max entirely, with promised plans to license the series (and others) to third-party free ad-supported streaming television (Fast) channels.

Making good on that promise, Bloody Disgusting has learned that “Raised by Wolves” has now found a new home at The Roku Channel, alongside HBO Max’s “Westworld.”

“Raised by Wolves” is now available for streaming on The Roku Channel as part of this week’s launch of 14 Warner Bros. branded linear channels, which include…

One of the biggest free streaming services on the market is adding to its selection of linear free ad-supported TV (Fast) channels. The Roku Channel has announced it will be bringing on 14 new channel selections from Warner Bros. Discovery.

Some of the content on these channels will be quite familiar to viewers, especially if they also have an HBO Max subscription. Series like “Westworld,” “Cake Boss” and “F-Boy Island,” as well as blockbuster movies will be available to Roku Channel customers now, along with thousands more hours of free streaming courtesy of Wbd.

The new additions to Roku Channel from Wbd include:

HBO Max revealed in December that they would be licensing shows including “Westworld” to third-party Fast services. Roku has its own Fast service, the Roku Channel, and hosts third-party channels through a channel store.

There’s enough WB content for 13 Roku channels, some of which are dedicated to family programming, true crime, pets, reality TV series, and do-it-yourself.

Entertainment, news, and the paranormal are connected more than you might think. I find it interesting that every person in the paranormal community I’ve talked with is also a horror nerd like me—the horror genre and belief in the unexplained are undeniably intertwined.

That’s why for this month’s Dead Time, I wanted to talk with paranormal journalist, TV host, podcaster, and fellow spooky nerd Aaron Sagers.

During his extensive career as a journalist, Sagers has appeared on numerous TV shows and online videos. You’ve probably seen him analyzing bizarre videos on Paranormal Caught on Camera on Travel Channel and Discovery Plus or hosting shows like Discovery’s Paranormal Lockdown: Evidence Revealed or the web series Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Ripley’s Road Trip. Sagers has a new show on Netflix called 28 Days Haunted, which is an intriguing experiment using three paranormal teams...

Though the word “paranormal” generally refers to phenomena not currently explainable by science, when it comes to paranormal television as a genre, it is strictly defined. There are formulas, patterns, even rules, necessitated by network needs for consistency to keep the audience coming back. But within the scope of their YouTube series Travel the Dead, veteran paranormal investigators and television personalities Katrina Weidman and Heather Taddy are asking if there’s a different way.

Weidman and Taddy both emerged on the television scene in 2007 with A&e’s Paranormal State, one of the early successes in the investigative style format, which lasted five seasons. The two became fast friends on the show, and since then, have gone on to appear on numerous series between them. Weidman continued as host of Real Fear: The Truth Behind the Movies, Paranormal Lockdown, and Portals to Hell, where she’s also an executive producer.

If you're upset that shows like "Westworld," "The Nevers," "FBoy Island," and more have been pulled from HBO Max in the aftermath of the Warner Bros.-Discovery merger, there's good news. Tubi and Roku have both reached deals with Warner Bros. Discovery to bring that content to their streaming platforms. The two streamers announced their deals in separate statements. The titles will be available as Fast content - free ad-supported linear streaming TV.

Affected shows include "Westworld," "Raised by Wolves," "Legendary," "FBoy Island," "The Nevers," "Finding Magic Mike," "Head of the Class," "The Time Traveler's Wife," "Cake Boss," "Breaking Amish," "Caribbean Life," "How It's Made," "Paranormal Lockdown," and "Murder Chose Me." TVLine confirmed that both streamers will have the six episodes of "The Nevers" that never aired.

Last summer, Warner Bros. Discovery made headlines when it began to remove shows and films from the platform in the wake of the merger.

Warner Bros Discovery has finally nailed down plans to go the Fast route. Last year — in between an intense bout of cancellations and titles being pulled from their streaming home on HBO Max — the company announced plans to explore a free ad-supported television option (Fast). During the company's third-quarter earnings call, Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav made a point of saying that there's "a huge amount of content that's not even on [HBO Max/Discovery+] that's sitting with us that hasn't been put to monetize in the marketplace." In the spirit of cashing in, a new plan has been enacted. Over the next few months, 14 Warner Bros. branded Fast channels will arrive on Roku and Tubi.

Have you been longing to return to the days of cable television, with free TV shows being regularly interrupted by ads? Don't bother answering, because it's happening either way! The new Warner Bros Fast channels will feature popular titles including "Westworld,...

Roku and Tubi will be the free streaming homes for Westworld, Raised by Wolves, The Nevers and other Warner Bros. Discovery content that was recently removed from HBO Max, as part of a co-exclusive deal that includes “hundreds” of TV series and movies from the Wbd portfolio.

As reported in December, Wbd’s plan was to shop the series it had removed from its own subscription streaming service (as part of an expansive and seismic cost-cutting move) and shop them to Fast (free, ad-supported streaming TV) services.

Nick Groff and Katrina Weidman are haunted hostages as Paranormal Lockdown season 3 throws away the skeleton key.

Nick Groff and Katrina Weidman might be suffering from a kind of spiritual Stockholm Syndrome. The two paranormal investigators endured two seasons of location shooting where they would spend an "unprecedented 72 hours confined to the most haunted locations in search of groundbreaking evidence of the paranormal," according to a press statement from Destination America about their show, Paranormal Lockdown. In that time, they've formed a special bond with their ethereal captors. Season 3 will see the pair toss back some moonshine in old Kentucky.

"In response to employee claims that bourbon isn’t the only spirit locked inside the massive warehouses on the property," Paranormal Lockdown season 3 will feature the first-ever televised paranormal investigation of the Jim Beam American Stillhouse in Clermont, Ky.
