The time has come for me to alert you dear people to the wonder that is PLUTO TV! PLUTO TV is an ingenious app you download for free and then all of the sudden you've got over 75 TV channels tap dancing for your entertainment. You can put it on your computer, Apple or Roku TV and/or gaming system and it's like getting free cable and yet it's totally legit. Of particular interest to Kindertrauma readers is a channel called HORROR 24/7 which shows horror movies around the clock! It's a cool mix of stellar titles (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS), fun cult flicks ( SUNDOWN: THE VAMPIRE IN RETREAT) and those weird cheap-o titles you've never heard of and would never pay to see but don't mind watching for free.
There's also a MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 channel and a RIFFTRAX channel in case you're too tired to ridicule movies yourself and a SHOUT FACTORY channel showing all of their cool fare. There's even a cartoon channel that sometimes shows TALES FROM THE CRYPTKEEPER! If you are into wrestling then it looks like you are in especially good luck (there's like, 5 channels devoted to that) and if you are the type who just wants to watch news, weather or even the view from a train gliding through Europe all day, they've got you covered on various other channels. In fact, I don't think I've even begun to explore all of the strange, fascinating corners of the PLUTO universe just yet. It's a lot to take in (as I type this I'm listening to my newest discovery, their irresistible 80's radio station).
If you're somebody who doesn't have or want cable, this is a godsend. I know these days people are used to being able to choose what and when to watch at all times but as somebody who can sometimes be cripplingly indecisive, I kind of like just checking out what happens to be on and discovering things I'd never pick out for myself (just like in the old UHF days). I get the sense that PLUTO TV is just getting started (they just signed a licensing deal with LIONSGATE, MGM and WARNER BROS. so expect even more top drawer titles soon) but as for now it's more than worthy of your attention for the awesome HORROR 24/7 channel alone.
