Hallmark Recruits ‘When Calls the Heart’ Star Kevin McGarry For Spooky New Halloween Movie

I hope that just because Hallmark Channel has already gone ahead and completed their wonderful Christmas in July, you don’t think they’ve forgotten about Halloween?

No, they have not. In fact they’ve even gone ahead and prepared a special treat for us. Read on to find out more.

Key Takeaways

  • Kevin McGarry Leads: The When Calls the Heart favorite stars as Beau Madison in Hallmark’s new Halloween-themed romance.
  • Meghan Ory Co-Stars: The Chesapeake Shores alum plays Everly Stone, a woman who absolutely hates Halloween.
  • Three Ghostly Visitors: Everly’s attitude begins changing after three friendly spirits give her a supernatural Halloween wake-up call.

Kevin McGarry Joins Hallmark’s “Fall Into Love” Programming For A Halloween Special

It seems that Kevin McGarry will be taking a break from filming new episodes for ‘When Calls the Heart’ season 14 to take part in an upcoming Hallmark Channel programming.

Poignantly titled ‘Fall Into Love,’ the programming will kick off on Aug. 22, and will feature the McGarry-led ‘Spirit of Halloween’ in its slate. Meghan Ory will be co-starring as Everly Stone, with Lachlan Quarmby joining as the Ghost of Halloween Future.

Per Hallmark’s press release, “Brilliant bridal designer Everly Stone (Ory) has no patience for Halloween, especially the beloved fire-station bash that once left her heartbroken in front of everyone she knew. But when her late mentor appears with a glamorous warning, Everly Stone is swept through one unforgettable night by three mischievous spirits who reveal the joy she lost, the people she’s pushing away, and the future she might miss if she keeps hiding behind work and fear.”

The description continues, “With a loyal assistant ready for more, a town waiting to welcome her back, and longtime friend Beau Madison (McGarry) still carrying a spark from their past, Everly Stone must decide whether Halloween is the night that broke her heart or the one that can finally help it heal.”

Christmas with a spin, or should I say Halloween with a twist?

But before we get to October 10, there’s actually a rock solid slate to get through. I’m talking about the adventurous “Love Finds You” and the bold Shakespearean retelling of ‘Much Ado About Nothing,’ now retitled ‘Much About Love’ to fit its modern flare.

By the time we get to September, we’ll be getting a slice of the haunted places, with ‘Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Prelude to a Wedding.’

It can’t be just me that’s excited, right?
