Frequently Asked Questions
What the hell is this?Melanie and T.J. are inviting family and friends to virtually join us for our annual tradition of watching Halloween movies and eating candy.
Okay, I'm in. When is this fun fest?
Saturday, October 29th. Literally all day.
All day sounds like a lot; can I just do like an hour?
Absolutely. Come and go as you please. The full schedule of movies is listed below.
How do I join virtually?
I will email you a Discord link. You will need a Discord account, but this is free and quick. There will be a chat room, and a stream of movies.
Won't the video quality be bad? Will I have to watch on my computer or phone?
I tested the quality across network, and found it pretty watchable, but results may vary. I recommend Chromecasting from your phone/computer to the T.V. You will have to play with settings to get full screen. (I recommend using ctrl, - to reduce the non-video components that remain.) In the event of technical issues on either side, you will have to rent the video yourself, and use the Discord just for synchronization and chat. All movies are available on Amazon Prime within the U.S.
Will there be video chat?
While possible, we're doing no video chats to make the stream less chaotic. Please quietly watch the movies, and carefully craft your thoughts into text for the chat.
What should I do if I can't stop watching Halloween movies during the breaks where the normal people are pooping or smoking?
The plan is to stream segments from early Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors episodes between movies.
Are pets invited?
Absolutely not.
How did you make this beautiful (and spooky) site?
Just a text editor and some stolen images. It's the 1990s over here.
