I’ll be on vacation for two weeks, so I’ll miss my monthly update of great films and shows hitting streaming services in October. Instead, I’ll leave you with this list of spooky selections (on these services as of 9/19) to watch throughout the month, or to save a few for Halloween night. If you’re really a horror obsessive, I recommend getting a subscription to Shudder (or AMC+), which has by far the best selection of scary movies, TV and documentaries.
