It’s spooky season and that means a whole month of macabre treats in the lead-up to Halloween. On television, that includes everything from hardcore horror to dark comedy. Some cable channels and streaming services have a whole month of movies and episodes before it’s time to trick or treat.
That can be a lot of spooky content coming at you, so Rotten Tomatoes is here to help. Here’s a guide to the streaming hubs, network marathons, and individual offerings on television (or your various other screens) this October.
