Movie Reviews:

❤️ Nicely's Heartstrings Attached is clean, and so lovely! UP TV should consider picking it up. -Maria

❤️ Heartstrings Attached - I had the chance to stream this movie early, and I found it to be very sweet. While some of the acting wasn't so great, at times, the story itself is heartfelt and meaningful. I even got misty-eyed at the end; it was genuinely touching. Best of all, it’s completely family-friendly. ~Net

🍁 Hallmark Announces *Fall Into Love* Movies for October 2025 🍁🍃 SEE HERE:

Welcome to the cozy “ber” months, friends! 🍂

The Hallmark Channel is adding to the upcoming Autumn season... the official premiere dates for their October *Fall Into Love* movies!

Think football games, golden leaves, and all the autumn-inspired feels you love with some of Hallmark’s favorites like Lacey Chabert, Wes Brown, Nikki DeLoach, and Warren Christie.

Snuggle in with a blanket and check out the details for these upcoming movies (and more!) below...


🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁


Hallmark Channel:

Home Turf

Premieres: October 4, 2025, at 8pm/7c

Starring: Nikki DeLoach and Warren Christie

Storyline: Cassidy is the president of a small college whose life is thrown for a loop when freshmen on the football team move into her home. Can Logan, the handsome coach, help smooth things over?

Movie Reviews:

🍁 Home Turf - Hi everyone, yep Home Turf is family friendly, funny, it’s set at fall, but could be on at anytime, it’s an enjoyable watch. ~Anonymous

🍁 Home Turf - I am glad to say that yes, Home Turf is family friendly! But, is is worth watching? Well, if you are fans of Nikki and Warren (as I am), then yes, because they are both at the top of their game! They are so good together, and you can see the chemistry develop between these two. And they look like they are having a blast playing off each other!

But, the storyline is too far-fetched for me to recommend it beyond the actors. I mean, who in their right mind would have 5 male college freshman football players go and live unsupervised with the single attractive female college president in her home? Really?! And when the coach has his own living quarters? (Yes, less space, but still...!) And the transformation of these players becoming so sweet and thoughtful...I just couldn't buy it. So bottom line, if you want to watch a fun romance between Nikki and Warren and put the plot aside, go for it. But if you aren't fans of them, you may want to skip this one! ~Anonymous

🍁 Home Turf is definitely chaotic, yet also quite charming. –Maria

🍁 Home Turf - Such a fun, family-friendly movie filled with great energy! The opening is delightfully chaotic (so true, Maria!), and while a few moments feel a bit far-fetched (I’m with you on that, Mark 25) - especially the party scene with everyone singing around the piano. I thought it was sweet, though maybe not the most realistic for college kids today. Still, the heart of the story and the chemistry are excellent. In the end, the love story is good, and I enjoyed the overall message of rediscovering love and the joy of teamwork and trusting others. ~Net



🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

The Jane Mysteries: Too Much to Lose

Premieres: October 5, 2025, at 9pm/8c

Starring: Jodie Sweetin and Stephen Huszar

Storyline: When a reporter interviewing JANE seeks help to find a missing colleague, Jane takes on the case. IRENE has disappeared after winning a game show, which leads Jane to uncover a web of deceit.


🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Haul Out the Halloween

Premieres: October 11, 2025, at 8pm/7c

Starring: Lacey Chabert, Wes Brown, Stephen Tobolowsky, Melissa Peterman, Ellen Travolta

Storyline: New, Halloween-obsessed neighbors inspire residents of Evergreen Lane to haul out their spookiest costumes and décor to become EverSCREAM Lane.

Movie Reviews:

🍁 Haul out the Halloween was clean & funny! ~Anonymous

🍁 Haul Out the Halloween was fun. Much of the quick banter we've come to expect from the other movies. Sure there are references to witches or spells but nothing presenting these as real or that a character thinks are real. There's an implied Christian reference to Halloween originally intended to remember those who are no longer with us...a reference to All Saints Day. ~Keith

🍁 Haul out the Halloween I thought it was mild. No spells. They have the decorating they do on the houses, a baking contest, costume contest. Emily reminiscing about her grandma(the photo of grandma on the wall does move a few times when they straighten it but thats all) It is full of the humor like the first one. P.s. there is a wedding.... :) ~Anonymous

🍁 I’m in the beginning of Haul Out the Halloween and the community is really funny and corky, but all the spooky Halloween stuff is not my taste. I don’t like how as children they were taught by grandma about the goodness of Halloween. I came close to turning it off. I may just skip through so I can enjoy the townspeople. Loved that it starts with a wedding and Jared brought his HOA book with him on his honeymoon ;) ~Abigail



🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Buried At C

Premieres: October 12, 2025, at 9pm/8c

Starring: Tamera Mowry-Housley, Risteard Cooper, and Marco Grazzini

Storyline: Our favorite music teacher Gethsemane is back again along with her trusted ghost friend Eamon to solve the unexplained death of a sea captain.

Movie Reviews:

🍁 Buried at C... two ghosts for those who wish to avoid that. For those who want a review. It's clean and the mystery was good in it. If you watched the first one and enjoyed it you will like this one. ~Anonymous

🍁 Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Buried at C - I agree. It was well acted, the mystery was pretty good, it was funny people seeing her talk to air and they do a great job incorporating the gorgeous scenery. I don't think the romance is that well done though. Misty




🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁


I hope you all find something fun to look forward to watching this Fall on the Hallmark Channel! 🍁🍃

I'm personally most interested in Home Turf and maybe the new Jane Mystery.

Most of you likely know that Halloween and spooky ghost stories aren’t my thing, but I’d love to hear what you think. Be sure to share your thoughts on these new movies in the comments below.

And can you believe it? This is the very last movie release before the big Christmas movie announcements arrive! Stay tuned! 🎄✨

Happy watching, friends!
