Shudder is coming in hot this October. We are getting The Boulet Brothers Dragula Season 6, Nightbreed, and WNUF Halloween Special this month. The streamer will also give Flanastans a reason to scream by adding Hush. They also know it’s not really Halloween without Jason Voorhees and are dropping the first eight movies on October 1st. A lot is going on, so I carved out a path to the titles that are my top priorities in this long list of horror titles hitting the app so fast and furious. Grab some snacks and check out which movies I think are the best bets below.
The Best Movies to Stream on Shudder This Month
V/H/S/Beyond (Shudder Original Film)
Shudder’s found footage anthology film series returns with six new stories. This movie is coming fresh from Fantastic Fest, so fans will not have to see what this crop of filmmakers has conjured. Directors this time include Jordan Downey, Christian Long, Justin Long, Justin Martinez, Virat Pal, Kate Siegel, and Jay Cheel. So, I expect some sick stories and cannot wait to have my peace disturbed.
You can watch V/H/S/Beyond on October 4th.

Chucky Season 3
Chucky is still embroiled in a grudge match with Jake and the crew, but this time, he has taken the fight to the White House. This season was magnificent and extra in all the right ways. I am upset the show was not automatically renewed. Hopefully, with its arrival on Shudder, more people will be reminded to tweet #RenewChucky #SaveChucky and show Syfy and USA that we need more time with our favorite killer doll.
You can watch Chucky Season 3 on October 4th.
Tenebrae (1982)
An American author is stalked by a murderous fan while trying to promote his new book in Rome. Sure. This premise seems cool. This movie is also one of the many Giallo films I still need to see. However, it’s Dario Argento and John Saxon collaborating on the same film that makes me think this movie is about to be a moment. I cannot wait for Tenebrae to hit Shudder so I can hit play immediately.
You can watch Tenebrae on October 7th.
Daddy’s Head (Shudder Original Film)
After his father’s death, a boy is left on a sprawling estate with his widowed stepmother. While they figure out how to adjust to their new life, a grotesque creature bearing a resemblance to his dead dad begins to haunt the child. I don’t think we need another meditation on grief, but I am curious about this Daddy’s Head business. I love that this movie is heading to Shudder straight out of Fantastic Fest. So, everyone who misses it can catch it at home next month.
You can watch Daddy’s Head on October 11th.
Noroi: The Curse (2005)
A paranormal expert investigating an ancient demon disappears while filming a documentary. I have been playing catch up with all of the found footage movies I missed out on before I started paying attention to the subgenre. So, Shudder is adding this Japanese horror movie right on time for my shenanigans this Halloween season. Yet another reason this streamer remains that girl.
You can watch Noroi: The Curse on October 15th.
We should call out of work and hang out with Shudder this October. At least, that is what I plan on doing because these five titles are just the tip of the horrific iceberg for this streamer. I will need the whole month to inhale all the nightmare fuel, but luckily, I love a challenge.
