  • Tubi: “Terror on Tubi” offers more than 27,000 hours of movies and TV shows, including It, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Hellraiser. There are also a bunch of scary Tubi Originals debuting throughout the month, such as Battle of the Beasts: Bigfoot vs. Yeti, The Final Rose, Terror Train, Lights, Camera, Murder: Scream, and A Party to Die For.
  • Pluto TV: If you want regularly scheduled horror every night this month, look no further than Pluto TV’s 31 Nights of Horror. Every night at 8 PM ET on the Pluto TV Horror channel, watch Halloween and horror movies like The Blair Witch Project, Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows, Life, Evil Dead, The Grudge, Urban Legend 1-3, Oculus, 30 Days of Night, Idle Hands, The Woman in Black, Slice, The Lazarus Effect, and many more.
