EXOTIKON: SUPER SHOCK SHOW! Tonight Oct 3rd
1038 South Hill Street Los Angeles, CA 90015
Halloween Hype: So Much Streaming!
Woah, so many more horror films are coming out for October. Not too mention horror series. Cooking/ Food channels always having so many Halloween shows.
#SalemsLot is one for the Stephen King fans. It has all the hallmarks of a King chiller; precocious headstrong youths, a gradual increasing sense of dread and a NE town steeped in malevolent darkness.

It's a fun one worth sinking your teeth into, check it out on Max on Oct 3. pic.twitter.com/G0AgfUL85v

The Jackbox Survey Scramble
Didn't see this one coming! The Jackbox Survey Scramble is headed to us all at the end of October.
Just played a fun full game of The Naughty Pack, making one of my more prudish friends leave, so... it's kind of funny a more family friendly game is ready to be played.
This is a new survey based game given the Jackbox polish to make it both entertaining and weird. We can't wait to play.
In this all-new party game experience, players are challenged to think outside of the box to guess what the survey says! Taking real surveys from real people around the globe, The Jackbox Survey Scramble is constantly changing based on answers submitted from players. Play with friends, family, coworkers, and enemies to see how they think when it comes to questions like, “In one word, what’s the cutest nickname for butts?” or “In one word, what’s the best sandwich topping?”
Key In-Game Features + Modes:
Personalized Experience: Customize your game with content filters, streamer settings, or accessibility options.
Endless Replayability: Each guess submitted is sent to a database and inputted back into the game as an answer, so each time you play will be an updated experience.
A Game For Everyone: Family-friendly settings mean that there’s something to enjoy for every type of party game player.
Four Game Modes: Guess the most and least popular answers with Hilo mode, think fast on your toes in rapid fire game rounds with Speed mode, organize choices in popularity order with your team in Squares mode and scale a variety of answers from most-to-least popular with a chance to intercept your opponents answers in Bounce mode.
Survey enthusiasts will have the chance to test drive The Jackbox Survey Scramble early during Steam Next Fest from October 14 - 21 in a free demo featuring the game’s Hilo and Squares modes. Head to the game’s Steam page to download The Jackbox Survey Scramble free demo during Steam Next Fest.
