Hollywood Suite Reveals Their 2025 Shocktober Lineup, Including Broadcast Premieres of KRYPTIC And Original Series CINEMA A to Z: GHOSTS

Hollywood Suite is creepin’ it real with another year of terror-ific favourites from their 2025 Shocktober programming lineup, on-air and on demand starting October 1. Two ghoulishly good premieres will lure folks into the spooky season: Hollywood Suite’s original series Cinema A to Z: Ghosts (2024) and Canadian Kourtney Roy’s Kryptic (2024). 

 

Getting the gourd times rolling is a new installment of fang-favourite Hollywood Suite original Cinema A to Z: Ghosts. From family-friendly favourites like Casper (1995), to menacing terrors like Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), this episode, airing October 7 at 9 PM ET, will have viewers exercising their devotion to all things haunted alongside film experts like Rue Morgue editor and Faculty of Horror co-host Andrea Subissatti, TIFF’s Midnight Madness mastermind Peter Kuplowsky, and Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic and Fantasia International Film Festival programmer Carolyn Mauricette. 

 

Also dying to join the lineup is Kourtney Roy’s Kryptic, a Canadian body-horror that follows a woman's (Chloe Pirrie) search for a missing cryptozoologist, which leads to her own riveting cosmic quest for identity. Taking on folk tales and mixing them with a good thriller, this film warns that sometimes, when you go hunting for a monster, the monster finds you first. Kryptic is set to premiere on October 28 at 9 PM ET.

 

Additional Shocktober channel premieres include classics like Danny Boyle’s original zombie-horror 28 Days Later (2003), a new restoration of David Cronenberg’s Scanners (1981), and John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001); as well as less scary but equally spooktacular favourites like Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands (1990) and Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park (1993).
