BONUS Costume Tip: James Bond – 007 @60. The superspy franchise is a whopping 60 years old and even your parents and kids will get who-you-are when you Tux-up! Watch ‘em all on Amazon Prime Video.
“With so many people sequestered for so long because of the pandemic, it’s truly time to find the emotional balance that storytelling and social gatherings offer to keep us sane and smiling this Halloween and all through the holiday season,” said Dr. Karen Dean Fritts, PhD, LMFT. “With every Halloween we can enjoy new ways of celebrating our creativity on screens big and small – and at costume parties that play to our expansive social imagination, which lets us choose a streaming alias for one spooky night!”
“We’re ready for America and the world to declare streaming party time!” said Clix founder and CEO Ed Sullivan. “Sure, we’ll wear masks but it’s more likely to be our Top Ten Minion or film killer Mike Myers from the bloody Halloween franchise this year then that paper med-mask that fogs your glasses.” Adds Clix content boss and co-founder Patricia Sullivan, “Our Clix team researched all the major streaming services to see what’s trending as we approach Halloween costume parties. And we surveyed our staff, our producers and Clix entertainment consumers to choose the Clix Top Ten of 2022.”
“My vote went to Clix Bonus Costume choice Bond…James Bond, especially star Sean Connery as the first 007 in the earliest of the 25 superspy films, which we’re guiding our audience to on Amazon Prime Video,” said Clix Chief Marketing Officer and co-founder Stacy Jolna. “2022 is our break-out Halloween party year for so many reasons, including that Clix soared past eleven million registered video fans since our first Clix Top Ten Streaming Costume Picks for Halloween last year.”
“Storytelling is the human need to communicate our shared lived experiences,” said Dr. Fritts. “And that’s what the celebration of those fantastic streaming and theatrical characters is all about. Let the Halloween parties begin…”
