Tis The Season For Love [movie] (8 p.m.,

Beth Baker is an out-of-work actress stuck in New York City without her
friends at Christmas time. She decides to return home to the quaint
small town she escaped 10 years before and finds a place far different
than the hamlet she left. She suddenly finds performing possibilities
and even romance that kind of blow her away. Will the holidays prove to
be as magical for Beth as they appear, or is it doomed to disappear as
quickly as it arrived for a lady who is ready to take chances she could
never have imagined a decade before. Then again, this is the kind of
thing that seems to happen during the Christmas season all the time.
Starring Sarah Lancaster and Brendan Penny.

threatened by the demonic. His book Beware the Night details how he uses

served as the inspiration for the 2014 movie Deliver Us from Evil. Now
in The Demon Files, Sarchie and his team travel across the country
meeting with people apparently suffering from demonic activity.
