There are so many streaming channels now that I can’t keep track of them all. I’m not sure if I remembered there was a HauntTV, but I’m glad there is. Ads are fine, too. (Dash to the kitchen for a snack!)
LOL! I have to admit, there are times I love watching Ad-free, BUT it also lends to me sitting on my butt not moving for long stretches. Ads DO prompt me to take a break and get up, and even though I’m trying to stay out of the kitchen more…where do I usually end up?
