The hugely popular multi-platform programming event is back for Halloween 2022 with more than 55 hours of spine-tingling new series, specials and returning shows for the spooky season, including hair-raising ghost hunts, tales of the supernatural and show-stopping pumpkin carvings from Travel Channel, Food Network and Discovery+.

Kathleen Finch, the chief content officer at the network said, "fans have come to view Ghostober as the unofficial start of the holiday season, and with our 25+ US networks, we can promote all of its in-demand content to more than 35% of cable's nightly primetime audience." She added, "Ghostober is a proven success with record levels of engagement across social media, and this year we've increased the number of hours across our platforms to super-serve the audience. We are officially the home of Halloween."

Beginning September 12 in a one-hour special on Travel Channel, 'Ghostober Preview Party' will give fans a sneak peek of upcoming Ghostober programming, hosted by Atlanta's premiere ghost hunting team, the Ghost Brothers, with special appearances by 'Ghost Hunters' star Jason Hawes and psychic medium Cindy Kaza.

The fright-fest jumpstarts into high-gear with the highly anticipated and terrifying return of hit series 'Ghost Adventures' and its all-star paranormal investigation team Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley and Jay Wasley.  Then, expanding on the successful creative partnership with master of horror Eli Roth, come two fear-inducing tales of terror not for the faint of heart – 'Eli Roth Presents: My Possessed Pet' and 'Urban Legend'.

'Ghost Hunters' sees the return of Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves, Dave Tango and Shari DeBenedetti, who are also back with a brand-new season of investigations alongside a few special guests.

Adding to the robust lineup this year, a truly terrifying film from master of horror Eli Roth and Zak Bagans, 'The Haunted Museum: 3 Ring Inferno'. Plus three brand new specials will also make their debut, 'Ghost Adventures: Devil's Den', The Curse Of Robert The Doll' and 'Ghosts Of Flight 401'.
