Halloween season has officially taken over HBO Max . Starting October 1, the platform unleashes a long list of horror classics to set the mood, from the original A Nightmare on Elm Street and Beetlejuice to The Sixth Sense, Poltergeist, The Exorcist, and more eerie staples, Newsweek reports. Tim Burton fans will also get their fix with Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, and The Nightmare Before Christmas-adjacent vibes.
The scary lineup doesn’t stop there. October’s biggest arrival is IT: Welcome to Derry, a chilling HBO Original prequel series that expands on Stephen King’s horrifying universe. For horror fans who want fresh scares, The Substance and A24’s Bring Her Back land mid-month. These new entries balance the throwback titles with unnerving modern tales.
