It’s that time of year. The trees are browning, and the nights become darker, which means only one thing – Halloween! Netflix releases its slate of horror movies for the month, and 2024 has a fantastic selection on the way. Below, we’ve hand-picked

For October, we’ll give you two extensive lists of movies you should watch. That’s because it’s Halloween season, and it felt right to highlight some brand-new horror, thriller, or other Halloween-adjacent titles on the way. As always with our best-of lists on what’s coming up, we’ll be splitting this list up into two halves, with the first four picks covering Netflix Original titles and the other four touching on the licensed movies coming to Netflix in the US (other region’s availability will vary).

As a quick aside, Netflix’s new licensed horror for Halloween is pretty impressive for the first year in a long time. It comes as Netflix has greater access to catalogs from rivals, which had been held back in prior years as many rival companies to Netflix are looking for cash.
