Consider you spooky season movie marathon covered by Disney+. The streamer is going all in on horror this October, adding some buzzy recent psychological thrillers to its library alongside the witchy thirteenth season of American Horror Story and a killer new reality competition show. As the nights start to get longer, here are all the movies and shows that’ll have you howling all month long.

Of course, scary movies are a must for October, and Disney+ selected some of the best modern horror flicks through its Hulu subscription bundle. The list of new additions includes 2022’s Barbarian, 2018’s Hereditary, 2019’s Midsommar, and 2024’s The Substance — all four of which are frequently cited as pillars of the modern horror boom.

For a more dystopian thrill, subscribers can also look forward to streaming every single Hunger Games movie (including The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), which are arriving just in time for fans to marathon ahead of Sunrise on the Reaping next month.

And finally, reality TV lovers will also get to taste fresh blood. A new competition show called The Mob will be hosted by Parker Posey. The mafia-themed contest will pit a bunch of already established reality icons against one another, with a cast including Harry Jowsey, Demi Engemann, and more.
