So, this is sort of my wife's tradition in the family where we watch this Irish Ghost movie comedy for Halloween.
After watching High Spirits(1988) at prime for free we then finished the first season of Wednesday at Netflix which I think first came out in 2023? (actually it came out the AI said in 2022).
So, between talking on the phone to my daughter in Europe she said she got 7 groups of trick or treaters coming to her house in Austria tonight (which is 9 hours ahead of us here in California). My other biological daughter also had many trick or treaters coming to her house in Texas so she was very happy about this too. Also, I got to talk to my older daughter for a couple of hours on the phone (Signal is likely the best and safest free way to do this by the way as long as you and the other person both have Signal on your cell or smart phones. Actually I'm not sure you could use Signal or not without all the things you can do on a smartphone at this point either. So, you and the person you are talking to on Signal in any country both likely need to have a Smartphone to do this around the world.
It has the best End to End encryption that I know of right now in calling and texting services and likely reaches most countries on earth now too
here is more about High Spirits(1988) that we have watched every year since 1995 now( my wife and I and sometimes our kids too if they are here for Halloween.
