Overview

For the final entry in their month-long Halloween countdown, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes spotlight "Devil" (2010), a lesser-known M. Night Shyamalan thriller. They explore what makes this PG-13, bottle-episode-style horror flick their number one "deep cut" pick—despite lackluster critical and audience scores. The discussion is packed with personal reactions, thoughtful analysis on genre expectations, and a defense of the film’s strengths over its notoriety.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Why "Devil" Tops Their List

• Surprise Factor: Both hosts describe "Devil" as a film that exceeded their expectations and left a lasting impression.
• Personal Connection: They created their list by instinct, not influenced by critical or popular opinion.
  • Amy: "We came up with our top five pretty quickly, and we agreed on our number one without any debate." (04:00)
  • T.J.: “This made me a big time M. Night Shyamalan fan.” (20:51)
• Rewatchability & Recommendation: Both hosts have revisited the film multiple times and find it appeals surprisingly to people who don’t usually like horror movies.

Basic Plot and Setup

• Elevator Horror: “The whole thing takes place in an elevator... five strangers’ day begins with an elevator ride in a Philadelphia office tower, but what happens next is anything but ordinary.” (06:07)
• Tight Runtime: At 80 minutes, it's a concise and taut ‘contained thriller’ without unnecessary subplots.

Character Development & Criticisms

• Character Investment:
  • Amy: “I actually really was invested in which one was the devil, what their past transgressions were that got them in this elevator.” (06:50)
  • T.J.: “In a very short amount of time, as far as character development goes, you get them.” (08:18)
• Critic Rebuttals: While some critics knock the film for shallow character development, both hosts disagree, citing the visceral responses the characters evoke and the smart use of limited time/space.

Cast & Direction

• Notable Actors: Chris Messina, Jenny O'Hara, Bokeem Woodbine, all described as familiar faces even if not household names.
  • T.J.: “You will immediately recognize [Bokeem Woodbine]... he has been all over the place.” (07:58)
• Behind the Scenes: Written and produced by Shyamalan, directed by John Erick Dowdle.

Reception & Rotten Tomatoes Scores

• Audience & Critics: Rotten Tomatoes: 49% (critics), 43% (audience) — notably low, but dismissed by the hosts.
  • T.J.: “Come on, folks, we gotta get these numbers up.” (08:55)
• Re-evaluating Over Time: Amy highlights that more recent audience reviews tend to be positive, especially as people rediscover the film on streaming platforms. (13:13)

Atmosphere & Themes

• Claustrophobic Tension: The “bottle episode” format (single location) heightens suspense, leveraging both elevator/fear anxieties and supernatural dread.
• Amy: “The tension and the fear... slowly and creepily develops in a way that I thought was so good. The subtlety of it made it so brilliant.” (09:28)
• Normalcy and Relatability: Their New York City backgrounds make elevator horror particularly resonant (10:22).

The Twist (No Spoilers)

• Crucial to Enjoyment: Both insist on avoiding spoilers for first-time viewers.
  • Amy: “Please, please, please, if you haven’t heard of this movie, if you haven’t read anything about it, don’t do it now. Watch the movie first.” (12:10)
  • T.J.: “For this thing to work, you have to go into it not knowing how it’s gonna end.” (12:27)
• Twist Quality: Both prefer "Devil"'s twist to those in other Shyamalan movies, feeling it lands better and elevates the movie. (22:32)

Themes & Moral Weight

• Not Just Kills: Beneath the horror, both find themes of forgiveness, moral reckoning, and human frailty.
  • Amy: “Sometimes horror movies are just slashers. This isn’t about the kills, this is about the story.” (15:19)
  • T.J.: “There is a moment that they built into the bigger moral... it does have a bigger moral theme.” (15:09)

Who It’s For—And Who It’s Not

• Wide Appeal: Not just for horror fans—it's appropriate for various ages, families, and even horror-averse people due to its PG-13 rating and lack of gore.
  • T.J.: “Anybody can watch this movie...” (24:18)
• Who Might Dislike It: Only those with rigid expectations about horror, or seeking extreme gore, might be disappointed.

Viewing Tips, Pairings, and Availability

• When & How to Watch: Suitable for solo or group viewing, day or night; the elevator’s bright lighting makes it easy to watch even during daylight.
  • Amy: “You can watch this alone, you can watch this in the day or at night. This can be watched anywhere, anytime, with anyone or no one.” (25:12)
• Snack Pairings: Lean into the devil theme with deviled eggs, red velvet cake, or fireball shots for Halloween. (25:23)
• Streaming: Not easily available on the main platforms; they recommend renting ($3.99) or purchasing ($14.99) via Apple TV or Fandango at Home. (25:55)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Elevator Fears:

  • T.J. (09:59): “Every time we go in an elevator, don’t we fear two things? One, it getting stuck. Two, getting stuck with a couple of assholes in here.”
  • Amy (10:11): “Or the Devil.”

• On Rotten Tomatoes Scores:

  • T.J. (08:55): “Come on, folks, we gotta get these numbers up.”
  • Amy (08:49): “The critics consensus actually was pretty good when you consider what that Rotten Tomatoes score just was. It's better than many of the other films M. Night Shyamalan has been associated with.”

• On Not Googling the Movie:

  • Amy (12:10): “Please, please, please, if you haven’t heard of this movie, if you haven’t read anything about it, don’t do it now. Watch the movie first.”
  • T.J. (12:27): “For this thing to work, you have to go into it not knowing how it’s gonna end.”

• On Who the Movie is For:

  • T.J. (24:00): “Anybody can watch this movie and… it's fun for the whole family.”
  • Amy (24:18): “Who is it not for? I guess anyone who's going to be critical and go into it with some sort of expectation…”

• On the Film’s Format:

  • Amy (25:12): “You can watch this alone, you can watch this in the day or at night. To me, this can be watched anywhere, anytime, with anyone or no one.”

It's the rage bait.

[Amy Robach]

It feels like it's trying to divide people.

[T.J. Holmes]

We got clear facts.

[Kal Penn]

Maybe we can calm down a little. NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the Facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News reporting for America.

[T.J. Holmes]

Hey there folks. It is Friday, October 31st, 1st Halloween, we made it to the top of our list. Our number one on our horror hit list of movies we love that maybe you don't know about and this one, number one on our list comes to us from none other than M. Night Shyamalan. But you probably never heard of it. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Deep Cuts. Wrapping it up with a number one here. Everybody thinks they know every M. Night Shyamalan movie for the most part, don't they?

[Amy Robach]

That's right. But when you say this word, or at least it's a one word title, a lot of folks will say, huh?

[T.J. Holmes]

What?

[Amy Robach]

Never saw that one.

[T.J. Holmes]

If you even give people an opportunity to start naming his movies, how long before they come up with this one?

[Amy Robach]

I think it would be a while, if ever. So the movie, our number one movie on our Halloween horror hit list is Devil from 2010.

[T.J. Holmes]

People are going, huh?

[Amy Robach]

It's just an hour, 20 minutes.

[PayPal Advertiser]

Perfect.

[Amy Robach]

And oh my goodness, it's rated PG 13.

[T.J. Holmes]

I don't know what to say, folks. I. Yes, I. Very early in the countdown, we. I railed against PG13 horror movies. I just, I usually just don't watch them. I don't stop.

[Amy Robach]

Two in our top five and three in the top ten. RPG 13, 2.

[T.J. Holmes]

I mean, I, I, so I got egg on my face. I completely, in real time, that just went out the window. But this is a PG13 thriller.

[Amy Robach]

Yes, that is pretty much what it is.

[T.J. Holmes]

It is a.

[Amy Robach]

We have gone, like, can we be fully honest here and talk about our. We have gone back and forth because when we started making this list, we hadn't looked at any of the critical reviews. We didn't consider any of that when we made this list. And we came up with our top five pretty quickly, and we agreed on our number one without any debate.

[T.J. Holmes]

No.

[Amy Robach]

Then when we started to research the movies, we actually questioned whether or not we should move this from the number.

[T.J. Holmes]

One spot because it wasn't that well reviewed. People didn't know a whole lot about it, and it just seemed to be a dud of an M. Night Shyamalan movie. No, no, no, no. We standing by it. I asked you, you said nope.

[Amy Robach]

Because when we came up with this list just based on our feelings and our reactions to movies that we watch a lot of, we felt like, both of us, this was the number one movie. We have questioned that now that we've read what other people think of this movie. So, you know. But we're gonna stand by what our original decision was, which was to make Devil number one. Even my oldest, Ava, who loves horror movies, when she found out what our number one was, she said, really?

[T.J. Holmes]

Hey, it was before its time okay. This is a wonderful little film, and we will explain why it's so wonderful. And one more tease here. The whole thing takes place in an elevator.

[Amy Robach]

Yes. There's very little other action. I mean, they do have some scenes they cut back and forth from, but mostly all the horror is happening, happening in an elevator. So here's the synopsis. Five Strangers day begins with an elevator ride in a Philadelphia office tower. But what happens next is anything but ordinary. The elevator gets stuck, and the trapped passengers, who expected to be together for just a few minutes, now face the revelation of their secrets and transgressions. Frightening events turn annoyance into terror as they begin to realize that one of their number is. Is Lucifer himself.

[T.J. Holmes]

Wow. They. I appreciate that they. That. That was the synopsis. They gave that out. So that is what we're dealing with. How many in the elevator was it five?

[Amy Robach]

There was five strangers. Yes. And I. You know, a lot of the complaints that I saw from folks and critics was that there wasn't enough character development. But I actually really was invested in who. Which one was the devil, what their past transgressions were that got them in this elevator. Because you realize that they were all there by design.

[T.J. Holmes]

Character development is what they had issue with. Yeah, I reacted to everybody.

[Amy Robach]

So did I. And look, the box office, it did better than I thought. 62.6 million internationally. But M. Night Shyamalan has a draw. When you see his name attached to a movie, a lot of folks will go check it out just because it's M. Night Shyamalan. And the cast, Chris Messina. You know his face. You might not know his name. He was in Boogeyman most recently. A big law and order guy. He was an Argo. Ben Affleck loves to put him in his movies. And then Jenny o' Hara is also in the elevator. Again, these are folks. When you see their faces, you. You know them, you just don't necessarily know their names.

[T.J. Holmes]

You know, there's a. An actor never knew his name for sure. Bokeem Woodbine. Okay.

[Amy Robach]

He.

[T.J. Holmes]

You will immediately recognize him. He was being in a lot of black movies, frankly. Jason's lyric Dead Presidents. And he played in Life with Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy. He has been all over the place.

[Amy Robach]

Another really familiar face.

[T.J. Holmes]

Oh, you knew him as soon as you saw his face? Yes.

[Amy Robach]

Security guard.

[T.J. Holmes]

Oh, yeah, he was great. But I. You had an emotional reaction to him. The old lady I had a reaction to. The young girl was annoying to me. And the. The guy in the suit, like everybody in there, in a very short Amount of time. As far as character development goes, you get them.

[Amy Robach]

You have a feeling towards them. Yes, immediately. And it's visceral. So I. Yes, I disagree with that. Produced and written by M. Night Shyamalan. The director was John Eric Dowdle. But get the rotten tomatoes score. 49%.

[T.J. Holmes]

Wow.

[Amy Robach]

From the critics. And the audience score is even lower at 43%.

[T.J. Holmes]

Come on, folks, we gotta get these numbers up.

[Amy Robach]

All right. Now, the critics consensus actually was pretty good when you consider what that Rotten Tomatoes score just was. It's better than many of the other films M. Night Shyamalan has been associated with. But Devil never gets more than a few low budget thrills out of its end. Fiendishly promising premise.

[T.J. Holmes]

It is a promising premise. I am never going to say I wish they had done this or wish they had done that. I can maybe understand why someone might say that. But this thing works still perfectly to me.

[Amy Robach]

I actually loved the fact that it was low budget in the sense that there weren't huge special effects. There wasn't some big dramatic action scene. This actually, the tension and the fear and the. The horror slowly and creepily develops in a way that I thought was so good. The subtlety of it made it so brilliant.

[T.J. Holmes]

Tension throughout. I mean, you. You start with that. Right? Just start with that was. What was the other movie I said? Just by the fact. Just the setup. It's Descent.

[Amy Robach]

Yes.

[T.J. Holmes]

In the cave like this. Just the scenario adds to the terror. What don't we. Every time we go in an elevator, don't we fear two things. One, it getting stuck. Two, getting stuck with a couple of assholes in here.

[Amy Robach]

Yes. Or. Or the Devil.

[T.J. Holmes]

Well, they usually don't have to worry about that. But it does. It plays on those fear. Even if the elevator doesn't get stuck, you worry about who might get on with you. And it is even that for me. Set a stage.

[Amy Robach]

And maybe because we live in New York and we're in elevators every single day of our lives, it struck a higher horror level for us. Because think about it. Maybe a lot of people who live in suburbia or whatever don't ever or rarely get into an elevator if maybe they're in a hotel or a high rise. But some people probably aren't in elevators very often.

[T.J. Holmes]

Well, it is a horrible scenario we have to face and make decisions about every single day.

[Amy Robach]

Exactly. So yes, we are very hyper aware of elevator issues. Some critic reviews here for you. And I did find some good ones that I put in here. And I did put a bad one in as well. If most of Shyamalan's films take a long time to get laughable punchlines, Devil is quite the opposite range. Rushing headlong through all manner of crazy plot points and red herring characters. An ideal streaming time passer, short and packed with twists.

[T.J. Holmes]

Yep, that's a good one. That's a good way to put it. We're not trying to say this should have been nominated for an Oscar. We're trying to say this is an intelligent, tense filled little nugget of a film.

[Amy Robach]

Yes. Here's another one. A taught, expert and engrossing thriller with a sense of visual restraint that is refreshing in this age of abhorrent overexposure.

[T.J. Holmes]

You know, and M. Night Shyamalan has done some creative things with cinematography before. This ain't one of them. He was confined in an area in putting this film together. I didn't think about it that way. That's a good one.

[Amy Robach]

So I actually love. Yes. What some of these critics said because it made. They articulated why we loved it better than I could. Here's another one. The dialogue is terse and convincing, given the premise. And Dowdle, who's the director, ratchets up the suspense with economical efficiency. The final twist, while a stretch, is highly satisfying.

[T.J. Holmes]

It is. You're like, okay, okay, they got me kind of a thing. But you still liked it. Yes.

[Amy Robach]

Yes. And I would urge anybody who hasn't seen this, don't Google it because pretty quickly they give it away. It's really annoying. M. Night Shyamalan's twists are the best part about his movie. So please, please, please, if you haven't heard of this movie, if you haven't read anything about it, don't do it now. Watch the movie first.

[T.J. Holmes]

Okay. We should. We will make sure. We should put that in the description of this episode, that do not look this film up. For this thing to work, you have to go into it not knowing how it's gonna end.

[Amy Robach]

Yes. If you already know the final twist, it's okay. Obviously, we've rewatched this movie multiple times, so we love it. But it's so much better if you don't know the twist. Here's a. Here's a negative review. Devil features nothing new, exciting or suspenseful. Instead, it gives us shallowly developed characters and an ultimately forgettable story. Couldn't disagree more.

[T.J. Holmes]

Okay, fine. Shallowly developed. It's five people and we have an hour and 20 minutes.

[Amy Robach]

Yes.

[T.J. Holmes]

We can't go to everybody's hometown.

[Amy Robach]

I thought it was really cool how we learned about how each of those people. Each of those characters ends up in the elevator because you'll learn this isn't giving away too much that they were chosen by the devil. Here's some audience reviews. One of the best. And by the way, even though the audience review scores were lower than the critics critics review, I found so many more positive reviews and a lot of them recent. So this was out in 2010. What I love about Rotten Tomatoes is that obviously people watch it streaming or they purchase it and then they put new reviews in which are I think viewed through the lens of perhaps the perspective that when you initially saw the movie, you might not have. So I think some of them are really interesting. One of the best stories of M Night. A little bit like Stephen King style. Low budget, but very intriguing. Only the ending could be different. In my honest opinion. Very good. Anyway, the ending was perfect.

[T.J. Holmes]

Still, the whole thing was intriguing. There was a mystery in there that I love.

[Amy Robach]

It keeps you guessing.

[T.J. Holmes]

Couldn't figure it out?

[Amy Robach]

Nope. Here's another one. A total underrated movie. Great cast, amazing soundtrack and wonderful direction. Make this a must see. Don't believe the ratings. Just watch it and decide for yourself. You will thank me later. We could have written that.

[T.J. Holmes]

Agree.

[Amy Robach]

Here's another one. This movie is severely underrated. It has pretty decent acting, a good plot, lots of love and care, and a very good twist ending with many good kills and jump scares.

[T.J. Holmes]

Yeah, there's no bad acting as well. Yeah, there's no bad acting in this movie.

[Amy Robach]

Agreed. Okay, here's another fun. Another good one. It's fun. Honestly, a fun movie. Very nice idea. And even though it could have been developed more, it makes for a cute thriller. The ending is. Isn't the poetic justice we expect, but a more realistic take on forgiveness. And moving forward, there were larger themes. M Night is pretty good with that. Yes, you have horror. Yes, you have thrills and a twist. But he usually does have heart and a reason for why he's writing this story and selling it.

[T.J. Holmes]

You do have a moment that you do stop and think and reflect. There is a moment that they. They built into the. Again, the bigger moral. It does have a bigger moral theme.

[Amy Robach]

Yeah. And I liked that because there was real storytelling involved. Sometimes horror movies are just slashers. This isn't about the kills, this is about the story. And that's what I think. One of the reasons why we loved it. Now here's a bad review from an audience member. Devil has to be one of the most stupidest. Which I thought was ironic that that was the phrase used. Devil has to be one of the most stupidest but funniest movies I've ever watched. The movie tries so hard to be scary, but it ends up being too funny. And there are also too many characters throughout which aren't that interest interesting and they are pretty pointless characters. Overall, Devil is a movie that tries too hard to be scary but ends up being hilariously stupid.

[T.J. Holmes]

Okay, it's. It's okay fine if you have that opinion, but if going into it, I just heads up, homie, it's PG 13. It's trying to be scary. No, it's not. If it were, it was, it would be a rated R. It's not trying to be scary.

[Amy Robach]

It's such a good point. You have to go into it with the right mindset. All right, when we come back, we're going to talk about why this is our number one. Not just that it made our list, but why we chose this movie to be number one. Who it's for, who it's not, for, what to pair it with and where to watch it.

[Amy Robach]

Continuing now with our number one movie on our Halloween horror hit list. We have been counting down our all month long to our number one movie Devil. Why was this your number one movie? Babe?

[T.J. Holmes]

It was a surprise. It was a surprising film when I first saw it and it left an impression. I don't know what my expectations were going into it, but generally speaking, I mean, I respect M. Night Shyamalan, but I'm not running to see an M. Night Shyamalan movie. Usually Signs I loved Village I Get and all of his movies I've Appreciated. But I'm not some hardcore M. Night fan. And so seeing this one, I. This made me a big time M. Night Shyamalan fan. I don't think I saw it when it first first came out. I think I was a couple years late. But I think this turned the corner for me, as for M. Night Shyamalan, because it's just. These are the types of things when you consider a scenario and you can't figure it out. Like, how are they going to reveal this thing? There are five characters. Somebody is in control of this thing. How are we gonna figure it out? And then members start falling off and still you can't figure it out. I love that kind of stuff.

[Amy Robach]

I agree. I this. I remembered this movie because of how it made me feel. I was absolutely in a movie that had very little action on the edge of my seat. Trying to figure out where the evil was coming from and not being able to do so. I appreciated that so much. I have been an M. Night fan. I love the Sixth Sense. I love the Village. I love Signs, all of those movies. The Visit. I will go out and see M. Night. Oh, well, yeah, that was. That was the most disappointing of them all. But I will go out to see an M. Night movie. If I see it in the theaters, I will go. They're not all great.

[T.J. Holmes]

We went to that one. We saw a trap and everything that happened in that arena. It was classic M. Night. We were on the edge of our seat.

[Amy Robach]

It was so good. The first half of it was amazing. I do think that's where oftentimes his stories sometimes fall apart. Is the twist isn't that great? Or it's kind of an annoying twist. Like I remember in Signs, it was that the aliens couldn't turn a doorknob and water destroyed them. I'm like, really? They're gonna go to a planet that's 3/4 water when that's their kryptonite? Anyway, I've had issues with even movies that I like about his twist. This twist was awesome. And I think I loved this twist the most out of any twist I've seen, or at least it got me. And I always just think this is a fun movie to watch and to introduce to people.

[T.J. Holmes]

I think that's it. This was a twist maybe that I liked. I didn't mind the twists and signs about the water and the can't turn a doorknob and all that. I mean, you had a problem with that. But you do realize that aliens were coming and making crop circles. Yes, that part you had no problem with.

[Amy Robach]

They were communicating to the mother ship. I made total sense to me. But no, I do. And so this movie, movie is fun because I. I have recommended this movie. I don't know if you have too, to folks who have never seen an M Night movie who don't really like horror movies. I just think this has a universal appeal because again, it's more of a thriller. It's still a horror movie for sure. You've got supernatural, you've got deaths, you've. You've got mystery, intrigue, but there's a thriller element to this. Like even my parents that don't like horror movies, they love this movie. It's that good. So who was it for? It's for everyone, wouldn't you say?

[T.J. Holmes]

There's no one. I wouldn't recommend this movie to hardcore horror movie fans. There's something there for you. If you hate horror movies, there's something in here for you. I can't even give a heads up to people who don't like blood and gore. And it's not going to be a problem. Anybody can watch this movie and it's.

[Amy Robach]

PG13, so it's fun for the whole family. Who is it not for? I guess anyone who's going to be critical and go into it with some sort of expectation that it has to be this, that and the other. And really other than that, I can't, I can't imagine. I was shocked reading people's reaction to it, saying it was stupid. I just didn't think it was stupid at all. I thought it was super smart.

[T.J. Holmes]

Of course to pull that off is in the writing. Yeah, I appreciate a good story, but yeah, some people, I think some people are going to have. Take issue with this or go what? Or I didn't see that. Or I don't know people to be critical. It's what people do.

[Lego Star Wars Advertiser]

It's fine.

[Amy Robach]

That's fine.

[T.J. Holmes]

It's fine.

[Amy Robach]

That's okay. We stand by our number one. And in terms of. I love this about the movie too. Food, drink and how to watch it, where to watch it. You can watch this alone, you can watch this in the day or at night. To me, this can be watched anywhere, anytime, with anyone or no one.

[T.J. Holmes]

Yes. And again, we always note this, but it can be watched in the day for a reason because it happens in a lit elevator, the whole movie. So you can see without the glare of the sun if you're watching.

[Amy Robach]

Yes. And so in terms of what to pair it with, you know what, go lean in hard with the the devil theme, you know, it's Halloween, so just like be all in deviled eggs, red velvet cake, fireball shots. Those are my suggestions.

[T.J. Holmes]

Jesus criminy. Well, at my party we're going to serve healthy snacks. No. I don't know.

[Amy Robach]

Might be a hell of a morning the next day after your deviled eggs, red velvet cake and fireball shots. I didn't even think about that. But you know, it's a hell of a good time enjoying the movie. So have fun.

[T.J. Holmes]

Where do you find this? Didn't we have a hard time?

[Amy Robach]

We could not find it and so we went ahead and purchased it on Apple tv. I think Fandango at home you can also purchase it. So for me, this one was so good that this is one we'll go back to. We've gone back to enough times. So I didn't, I. We didn't even want to wait. Look, it's great when you can get it on Netflix or something that most people have a streaming service, but I think this one cost. You can rent it for 399 or you can buy it for 1499, which we chose to purchase it.

[T.J. Holmes]

You use the word cute earlier in somebody's review. I think that's a. It's a weird. I've never thought about it that way. This is a cute little movie. This is a cute little packaged film for you to like. It's so digestible. So yes, even for Halloween, if you're not looking for ghosts and ghouls and slashers and girls running through the forest and scantily clad type of thing, if you want to get away from that, this is a good one that can. It's an absolutely digestible movie for everybody at night.

[Amy Robach]

I agree. So everyone check out Devil and thank you for listening along with us here for these 31 days. Listing our top 31 not so well known Halloween horror movies. But you know, we could probably put a list like this together once a year and still be able to fill it with movies that aren't that well known. There are so many horror movies to consume. So we hope you guys, if you have been into them, great, keep watching them. But maybe this brought some more people onto our favorite genre we are recruiting.

[T.J. Holmes]

We want everybody to be a horror movie fan. Been a huge year for horror movies and here we are wrapping it up all around horror movie time. So enjoy your movies. Hope you all take in. If you don't like Devil, maybe you can take in another one of the. The others that are on the list. There are some 30 there for you to choose from.

[Amy Robach]

All right, and with that everyone, thanks for listening. Hope you all have a happy Halloween. I'm Amy Robach alongside T.J. holmes. We will talk to you soon.
