Programming Notes

That chill in the air can only mean one thing: Halloween — and Election Day, for that matter — is here. To get you in the spirit of things, we’ve put together two Spotlight pages, full of videos that will get you up-to-date on all things political and spooky. And, to pay tribute to one of Hollywood’s legends, we’ve created a page dedicated to all of the Paul Newman movies made available to Hulu since his death.

With election day just around the corner, news reports about the candidates keep pouring in. Hulu’s Election ‘08 Spotlight page is updated twice a day with the latest clips from MSNBC and Fox News, plus more humorous fare from shows like SNL, The Colbert Report, The Tonight Show and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart — including Stewart’s recent interview with Barack Obama. To get you in the mood to vote, Hollywood celebs have teamed up to bring you this PSA, featured in our “Daily Humor” section.

We’ve also put together a collection of all of the Paul Newman movies currently available on Hulu. We’ve been working to acquire as many of the legends films as we can since his death, and now we’re able to offer his Oscar-nominated performance in Nobody’s Fool, as well as his turn as Buffalo Bill Cody in Robert Altman’s Buffalo Bill and the Indians. The page also features three other titles, including Rally ‘Round the Flag, Boys!, Newman’s second on-screen appearance with Joanne Woodward, his wife of 50 years.

And finally, with Halloween — er, Huluween — here, don’t forgot to get your scare on over at our Huluween spotlight page. This week’s videos include The Thing with Kurt Russell, the original Night of the Living Dead and, by popular demand, last week’s SNL send-up of Vincent Price — but there’s a lot more to check out.

Happy Huluween,

Rebecca
