Hello! So today is October 3rd — I was too tired to post last night, but doing my best to stay on track with posting regularly. Just been a bit difficult with job search, and other issues.
With that being said, let’s start off easy with October streaming picks for Halloween month! (But let’s be real… Halloween is year round.)
October Streaming Picks
Shudder
- Hitchcock classics: Psycho, Vertigo, The Birds, Rear Window
- One of my fave franchises: REC (all 4 films!)
- The remake Quarantine is okay, but REC is amazing.
- October 3 – Premiere of V/H/S Halloween
- October 30 – Premiere of Hell House LLC: Lineage
Pluto
- Classics + franchises: Paranormal Activity and Underworld (not a fan personally)
- Excited about: Attack the Block — rarely available for streaming
Tubi
Modern favorites:
- Saw trilogy (wish it was the whole franchise)
- Grindhouse: Death Proof and Planet Terror
- Insidious: The Last Key (hard to find streaming)
Paramount+
- Noticed: Green Room — the only A24 film I like!
- Fans may enjoy: Scream (not my fave, but popular)
HBO
- The Nightmare on Elm Street franchise returns
- October 26 – It: Welcome to Derry premieres. I’m glad to see Bill Skarsgård returning as Pennywise!
Update:
Bring Her Back is also on HBO! From the directors of Talk to Me and from A24, I have been wanting to see this film. Will try to see it this weekend. I hope its good, I thought Talk to Me was ok, but we’ll see how I feel about this film.
Prime
- Recent horror releases: Companion, The Woman in the Yard
- Universal horror movies (always great to revisit)
Peacock
- Entire Leprechaun series (there’s 7!?!)
- Megan 2.0 – want to check it out despite box office drop
- More picks:
- Bones and All
- The Crow (my personal Halloween must-watch every year!)
- Event Horizon
- Shaun of the Dead
- Silent House (love one-take films)
Noticing a lot of overlap between services this month — but still plenty of gems if you pick carefully!
