Spooky season is upon us! Thank the 2020 demons or whoever is in charge of this terrible year. Though things might not be getting better outside at least we can take solace in scary movies and heavy woolen sweaters. Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu all have a bunch of brilliant Halloween movies, TV series, and specials coming your way in October so of course, we’ve curated five of our faves and collected the full listings for your perusing pleasure at the bottom of this piece!
Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror
Shudder
Where to watch: Prime Video
When to watch: October 1st
If you haven’t watched this brilliant Shudder original then make sure to check it out on Prime Video this October. Directed by Xavier Burgin, and based on the book by Robin R. Means Coleman this documentary chronicles Blackness in horror and the impact of Black horror featuring Black horror icons like Tony Todd, Jordan Peele, and Rachel True.
Clive Barker’s Books of Blood
Hulu
Where to watch: Hulu
When to watch: October 7th
One of horror’s most magical and maniacal minds, Clive Barker is getting the movie treatment again with a new anthology film based on his classic short story collections. We don’t know which tales will be adapted but from the trailer it looks like it’s going to be a spooky good time, and if you want to get to know the Books of Blood check out our introduction piece!
The Haunting of Bly Manor
Netflix
Where to watch: Netflix
When to watch: October 9th
Our true feelings about this show are under embargo but we can say that the trailer looks amazing and we adore it and we cannot wait til Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting of Hill House follow up to hit screens. Following a young American who heads off to the titular house as a live-in nanny this is a take on the ghost stories of Henry James and it looks perfectly splendid.
Welcome to the Blumhouse
Prime Video
Where to watch: Prime Video
When to watch: Throughout October beginning Oct 6th
Hulu and Blumhouse have been delivering multiple genre movies on a near-monthly basis and now the studio is offering up a series of family-themed horror for Prime Video. Beginning with Black Box and The Lie on October the 6th and followed up by Evil Eye and Nocturne on the 13th the feature films all center on themes of home, love, and the redemptive or destructive nature of those that we love and the places that we call our own.
His House
Netflix
Where to watch: Netflix
When to watch: October 30th
This critically acclaimed horror focuses on a young couple who emigrates to the UK only to find themselves trapped first in the horrific British immigration system and then a mysterious cul-de-sac which holds a dark secret.
