Netflix is going all-in on Halloween this month, with a new set of original horror and horror-ish films and shows every Friday. There’s also new non-scary stuff, like Samin Nosrat’s cooking show
Salt Fat Acid Heat. Here’s everything coming and going on Netflix in October.
Highlights
Movies
There are tons of Halloween-themed stuff out this month. Oldies like
Blade,
The Devil’s Advocate,
The Green Mile, and
The Shining show up on the 1st. Halloweeny originals include
Malevolent and
Apostle, and something called
Errementari: The Blacksmith and the Devil.
Other classic movies coming on the 1st:
Billy Madison,
Blazing Saddles,
Empire Records, and
The NeverEnding Story.
Shows
Sabrina the Teenage Witch gets a darker, trashier reboot as
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Anime
Castlevania returns for season 2. For kids, there’s
Super Monsters season 2, and new anthology
Creeped Out. There’s lots more stuff with titles like
The Haunting of Hill House, which we’ll leave to the reviewers to sift through. The one that’ll really keep us up nights is probably the second season of
Making a Murderer.
Or watch something calming: Chef and food writer Samin Nosrat hosts a show based on her deconstructed cookbook
Salt Fat Acid Heat. You could also try part four of
Terrace House: Opening New Doors, which we’re told is the calming reality show’s best season.
Comedy
Joe Rogan, Ron White, Mo Amer, and Adam Sandler have new specials up this month, and two pre-existing Kevin Hart specials arrive on the 1st. Comedian Hasan Minhaj has a new weekly show,
Patriot Act. And the series
The Degenerates features comedians Big Jay Oakerson, Joey Diaz, Liza Treyger, Yamaneika Saunders, Christina P., and Brad Williams.
Last Call
Netflix actually loses a lot of horror in October, including
Scream 2,
Curse of Chucky,
The Human Centipede 2,
The Babadook, and
Donnie Darko (actually what genre
is Donnie Darko?).
October also means no more
Trading Places,
Boogie Nights,
Bad Boys,
Sin City,
Full Metal Jacket, season 1 of
Freaks and Geeks, or seasons 1–5 of
90210.
