BRITS can access eight new channels for a Halloween thrill this month – but you’ll need to look beyond the traditional TV guide to find them.
The channels are free and airing a range of big name shows and movies as part of a special House of Horror series.

Horror hits include the SAW films, The Grudge and Halloween starring Jamie Lee Curtis.
There’s also the Leprechaun franchise with Harry Potter star Warwick Davis, as well as Jennifer Aniston and American rapper Ice-T.
And you can catch An American Werewolf in London plus Cabin Fever.
The channels are all available on Pluto TV, the free streaming app from Paramount.

Get more quality TV for free
By Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor
If you’re tired of paying out on several streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ then there are a growing number of free alternatives around.
While many of these alternatives have been filled with obscure content, more big names like Sky have got on board in recent years offering some quality stuff, which is largely archive but still entertaining.
As well as UKTV, Sony and 5 are among the other players getting involved.
If you haven’t already, give Pluto TV a go too – it has more than Halloween stuff to watch.
On there you’ll find channels from MTV, with Catfish and Geordie Shore.
Some of the classics are real gems too – I found myself watching long-forgotten episodes of Sabrina the Teenage Witch the other day.
