It’s hard to think that summer is winding down, but that means Halloween preparations are about to begin. It’s also the time of year when major television networks and streaming services begin unveiling their terrifying schedules. Discovery, for one, has recently unveiled the schedule for all of its Ghostober 2022 programming. On Monday, September 12 at 10 PM ET on Travel Channel and Discovery, they will host the Ghostober Preview Party, which will mark the beginning of their month-long celebration of all things spooky. The Ghost Brothers will host a special Halloween party showcasing the event’s spooky roster, and guests including Jason Hawes (Ghost Hunters) and Cindy Kaza (Ghosts of Devil’s Perch) will make appearances.
New seasons of Paranormal Caught On Camera (September 11), Ghost Adventures (September 15), and Ghost Hunters (October 1) will premiere on Discovery+ and Travel Channel, respectively, and on October 7, three episodes from the upcoming season of Ghost Brothers: Lights Out will premiere on Discovery+. Along with the premiere of the new Ghost Adventures special Devil’s Den on both Travel Channel and Discovery+ on September 29, two new paranormal series, Haunted Scotland and Jack Osbourne’s Haunted Homecoming will premiere on Discovery+ on September 23 and October 2, respectively. Last but not least, two new episodes of Discovery’s hit paranormal series Shock Doc will be named The Curse of Robert the Doll and Ghost of Flight 401.
The premiere dates for those specials are September 30 and October 28, respectively, on both Travel Channel and Discovery+. If you’d rather not deal with ghosts this Halloween but still want a tasty treat, the Food Network has you covered with some delectable orange frosting. Three new seasons of Halloween-themed reality shows will premiere that weekend: Halloween Baking Championship (September 12), Halloween Wars with Zak Bagans (September 18), and Outrageous Pumpkins (September 25). On September 26 and October 17, respectively, there will be the premieres of the new series Halloween Cookie Challenge and the special Kids Baking Championship: Trick or Eat.
All of these delectable new items are making their debut on Food Network and Discovery+. If you’re looking for more terrifying content, Ghostober has much to offer. Especially if you enjoy the films of Eli Roth. On September 30th, Eli Roth Presents: My Possessed Pet will have its first screening. Real fears about pets being possessed by demonic spirits will be explored in the series. The anthology series Urban Legend, including Roth’s interpretations of traditional ghost stories, will premiere on October 28. Finally, on Halloween night, the stunning premiere of The Haunted Museum: 3 Ring Inferno will top off the festivities.
This anthology film series is produced by Zak Bagans and Roth, and the third instalment centres on a stolen suitcase that may contain a tent that might open a doorway to a cursed circus. Both the Travel Channel and Discovery+ are premiering new content. Although scary movies have always been associated with Halloween, in recent years, channels like the Travel Channel, the Food Network, and most recently Discovery+ have emerged as some of the most popular sites for celebrating the holiday. In particular, if you aren’t a huge fan of horror or if you want a more “true tale” feel to your scares. Ghostober is a yearly event on Discovery that does a fantastic job of portraying the creepy yet amusing spirit of the Halloween season.
With such a promising cast, they should maintain their spine-chilling pace into 2022. In the meantime until September 12th, when Ghostober officially begins, you can watch previous seasons of scary series like Ghost Hunters on Discovery+ right now. The Travel Channel website also has further details on Ghostober 2022.
