“Halloween parties this year across America will be a feast of fun, frivolity and entertaining choices. A welcome break from the sobriety of the daily headlines,” observed Los Angeles psychologist, Dr. Karen Dean Fritts, PhD, LMFT. She weighs in on the importance of popular culture in society: “As we observe entertainment choices, both the types and styles of storytelling, it is an important way to take society’s ‘Emotional Temperature.’ It is a needed desire to escape while connecting deeply by having a collective entertainment experience.”

ClixTV, committed to making what to-watch a fun, fast, and free experience, is available on every platform in 120 million over-the-top (OTT) television homes.

“Our team had a Halloween ball worthy of Cruella and Cinderella putting together our new list of costume suggestions for streaming entertainment fans searching for a new look this year on the killer characters of the top films and episodic series on Roku, Apple TV, LG and Samsung Smart TV’s, Amazon Fire and other streaming services,” said Stacy Jolna, ClixTV Founder and Chief Marketing Officer, who is dressing for Halloween as James Bond. “ClixTV features behind-the-scenes and “sneak peeks” of leading video streamers as well as emerging entertainment talent in unique comedy, global adventure, cool cooking, “Celebrity Sweat” fit tips, eSports tricks and much more.”

Adds Dr. Karen Dean Fritts, “The decades may change, technology may deliver a large buffet of entertainment, but human nature and the desire for storytelling that delivers momentary escapism remains a constant. Entertainment through storytelling, music and art is a vital human need. It enables people to shift focus, restore, refuel, and regulates our system. Allowing ourselves to ‘take a delicious deep breath and fully enjoy’ the buffet is a healthy form of self-care. We can more readily return to the daily realities of LIFE more refreshed and revitalized.”
