    <p><em data-rich-text-format-boundary="true">Welcome to <strong>Horrorscope</strong>, a monthly column keeping horror nerds and initiates up to date on all the horror content coming to and leaving from your favorite streaming services. Here’s all the horror streaming in October 2021:</em>

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The leaves are dying, we’re all worshiping small, waxy gourds, and that pesky sun is finally (finally!) setting at a reasonable hour for movie watchers.

It’s October, folks. So you know what that means: horror fans the internet over can let their freak flags fly even harder than usual. Do not second guess creating a Twitter thread about your favorite Lucio Fulci eye-pops. Don’t let anyone shame you for marathoning every single entry in the It’s Alive franchise. And do your spooky civic duty and (respectfully) push the limits of when your innocent friends and family ask you to pick a seasonally appropriate horror flick.

As any self-respecting genre ghoul knows, the key to curating a flawless October watchlist is planning ahead. That’s where I come in. I’ve scoured a wide array of streaming services so that you can pick through all the incoming (and outgoing) horror films in one place. I’ve also highlighted four new notable titles that are worth putting on your radar.

Be sure to peruse the complete list below, calendar in hand, for a full picture of what horror movies are coming and going from your favorite streaming services in October 2021. Keep in mind that all dates listed below may not apply to viewers outside the United States.

Horror Streaming Highlights for October 2021

Pick of the Month: The Medium

The Medium streaming horror October 2021

Synopsis: A documentary team trail Nim, a shaman based in the Isan area of Northern Thailand. While filming, the team encounters her niece, who is exhibiting strange symptoms that appear to hint at the young girl’s burgeoning shamanistic abilities. The documentary crew decides to swap subjects and follow Mink in hopes to capture the passing of a generational torch. Then, Mink’s behavior becomes progressively bizarre. 

The latest film from director Banjong Pisanthanakun is sure to pique the interest of anyone familiar with 2004’s Shutter, a twisty ghost story that exemplifies the slow-burning side of Thai horror. Genre fans will also be interested to know that Na Hong-jin, the director of The Wailing, one of the best horror films of the 21st century, is on board as a producer. The Medium‘s recent Best Film win at the Bucheon International Film Festival is just icing on the cake. Consider us hyped and terrified.

The Medium has been playing in Thailand and South Korea since this past spring. The film has garnered praise for its depictions of Thai religious practices, central performances, and boundary-pushing intensity and gore. If you’ve got a strong stomach and a desire to stay abreast of the gauntlet being thrown by international horror filmmakers, don’t let The Medium pass you by!

Premieres on Shudder on October 14th.


A visceral modern video nasty slathered in period detail

Sundance 2021: Censor

Synopsis: A censor named Enid proudly snips and cuts gore-filled excerpts from films, shielding her unsuspecting audiences from all manner of eye-gouging, decapitations, and bloodletting. Her sense of self-righteous duty obfuscates the guilt she feels about her inability to remember the details of her sister’s disappearance. When she’s tasked with reviewing an older, disturbing film from a collection’s archive, she’s horrified to find the film echoes her hazy childhood memories. Somehow, this uncanny film is connected to her past, and only a censor’s discerning eye will find out how! 

A double-edged condemnation of censorship (as a principle) and the mentality of those who wave its banner, Censor boasts a terrific lead performance from Niamh Algar and a visual homage to a bygone genre era, sure to tickle the well-watched gore-hound.

The debut feature of Prano Bailey-Bond, Censor premiered earlier this year at Sundance. If you’re a fan of British horror history (especially the censorious Video Nasty period), you won’t want to miss this boldly committed meditation on the limits and purpose of the genre’s … nastier offerings.

Available on Hulu starting October 14th.


The best horror movie of the year is expiring this month!

Malignant Red

Synopsis: Madison lives with her abusive husband in a comically spooky house in Seattle. One day, after surviving a beating by her shitty husband, during which she sustains significant head trauma, Madison locks herself in her room. When she emerges, she finds her husband’s mangled corpse. And the killer, still in the house, knocks Madison out cold. After returning home from the hospital, Madison is desperate to regain control over her life. But horrifying visions of brutal murders hint that Madison’s terror trip is just getting started.

If you’ve already seen James Wan‘s Malignant and you (understandably) want to ride that rollercoaster a couple more times, this is your warning: the film is leaving HBO Max mid-month. If you have not seen Malignant, there is a limited window to catch the film before it fades into the digital ether.

Malignant is one of the most bananapants blank checks I’ve seen in a long time. Its greatness arguably justifies any past and future sins of Wan’s involvement with big-budget superhero movies. Saying too much about why Malignant slaps would spoil its secrets. But I’ll say this much to entice you, a horror fan who has somehow not seen Malignant yet: this is a horror-comedy. And while claims of its giallo-ness are not inaccurate, spiritually the film owes way, way more to Frank Henenlotter than Dario Argento. Drop what you’re doing and watch this campy, made-with-love masterpiece.

Leaving HBO Max October 10th.


A new Halloween flick? Be like Michael Myers and say no more!

Halloween Kills

Synopsis: Everyone’s favorite jumpsuit model is back, baby! Picking right up where Halloween (2018) left off, it turns out that Michael didn’t die in that horrible fire. But if you stuck around for that film’s post-credit scene (or, I don’t know, have seen a Halloween movie before) you already knew that. Once again Laurie, Karen, and Allyson (and all of Haddonfield) are ganging up to take down Michael once and for all.

Halloween Kills, the latest franchise entry from director David Gordon Green, is here to ask the provocative question: what if vigilante mob justice is good, actually?

Marking the 12th installment in the Halloween franchise, the Blumhouse Productions film sees the return of old-mainstays Jamie Lee Curtis (Laurie Strode) and Nick Castle (The Shape). Oh, right, and John Carpenter (along with musical collaborators Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies) have banged out a new soundtrack. However you feel about legacy reboots, cash in Carpenter’s wallet is a net win in our books.

After premiering at the 78th Venice International Film Festival this fall, it was announced that, in addition to a theatrical run, Halloween Kills would be available to stream for 60 days. Nice.

Arriving on Peacock on October 15th.
