Netflix Gets Spooky for Month-Long Celebration of Horror

Let's be honest here. Even us horror fans will be watching a lot more horror than usual this month with the leaves finally beginning to fall. Fortunately, streaming platforms like Netflix are around to help us celebrate with an even wider selection of new and classic titles alike.

Netflix just released their 2018 horror guides to help you out if you're not sure what to watch as you get yourself ready to get spooky all month long. Thanksgiving and Christmas can wait until November because horror fans have a kick-ass October waiting for them this year.

We all know what we will be doing on October 19th with the new Halloween sequel making its long-awaited release, but how about the rest of the month when you're not in the movie theater? First of all, the latest arrivals on Netflix are as good of a place as any to start, so let's take a look at what's new.

We've got a good mix here but the new arrivals are something to be excited for in particular. Upcoming Netflix original The Haunting of Hill House has generated a lot of buzz so far and we are personally also excited to see the next bloody chapter of the Castlevania animated serious, which debuts near the end of the month and will this time be a full 8 episodes.

On the very same day, we also get to hop on our brooms for the premiere of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, a much darker take on the teenage witch that originated as a comic series with a more heavy focus on the occult. The rest of the month is also sprinkled with goodies, starting with a classic in The Shining, which seems as perfect of a way to start the month as any.

So, this begs the question, what else to watch? Well, that depends on what kind of horror you are into. Whether you love jump scares or being flat-out terrified, there's something here for you. Fortunately, Netflix has released the below helpful infographic to help you decide what's right for you.

Apart from the new arrivals, there's a substantial existing library of solid horror for you to indulge in all month long. We've helpfully received a full list for you to take a look so let's get it going!

If the above choices and new arrivals are any indication, we think you'll have plenty to watch all month long courtesy of Netflix. What are your favorite picks out of the selection here?
