Hubie Halloween
It's October 31st in Salem, Massachusetts, and a town's
eccentric, devoted community volunteer and the
good-natured object of his fellow citizen's derision and
meanest pranks, finds himself in the midst of a real
investigation, for a real murderer. A fun Halloween
movie filled with enough laughable and spooky moments
and an amazing cast. It's always entertaining to see the
usual Happy Gilmore cast, but the
appearances of many favorite past disney actors, Noah
Schnapps (Stranger Things) and
Adam Sandler's daughters was definitely a
treat.

Walter White is dead, but Jesse
Pinkman lives to tell the tales of their journey.
Now, it's time for him to go on a journey of his own as
he deals with the brutal events and mistakes that led

Finally free from torture and slavery at the hands of
Tod's uncle Jack, and from Mr. White, Jesse must escape
demons from his past. He's on the run from a police
manhunt, with his only hope of escape being Saul
Goodman's hoover guy, Ed Galbraith. A man who for
the right price, can give you a new identity and a fresh
start. Jesse is racing against the clock, with help from
his crew, avoiding capture to get enough money together
to buy a 'new dust filter for his Hoover MaxExtract
PressurePro model', a new life.
