Following big reveals at San Diego Comic-Con, MeTV has announced a packed fall schedule anchored by the long-awaited broadcast television return of The Wizard of Oz and the fifth annual Halloween BOO-nanza.

Host Lisa Whelchel will kick off the October festivities by presenting  The Wizard of Oz broadcast premiere. The movie event will feature “The Wonderful World of Oz,” original vignettes offering a rare look at museum-quality heirlooms, historical artifacts, and stories from experts and performers involved with the classic film.

The Oz celebration extends across the network’s popular series, including:

• Collector’s Call: A new October episode will profile Tori Calamito, a leading authority on Oz memorabilia whose massive collection spans a century of history, from first-edition books to musical stage costumes.
• Svengoolie: Rich Koz and the Sven Squad will host a special showcase of The Wizard of Oz alongside classic horror titles like Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) as part of the Saturday night movie lineup.

The month-long Halloween BOO-nanza event will also showcase spooky family favorites and cult classics throughout October, including Revenge of the Creature, Berserk, and Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark on House of Svengoolie.

MeTV is available over-the-air, via select cable and satellite providers, and streaming on Frndly TV, Philo, Fubo, and Sling TV. Local listings and full schedules are available at (https://www.metv.com/schedule).
