Max is bringing a thrilling variety of films, shows, and specials this October, making it the perfect time to kick back with some great entertainment, per Forbes. Whether you're in the mood for iconic horror films to get you in the Halloween spirit, or original new shows like The Franchise, Max has something for everyone this month.
For fans of scares, Freddy Krueger’s Nightmare on Elm Street saga returns to the platform starting on October 1. The same day sees the arrival of It (2017), It: Chapter Two (2019), and The Conjuring universe, perfect for your Halloween binge. If original content is more your speed, Salem’s Lot (2024) premieres on October 3, a long-awaited adaptation of Stephen King’s classic vampire novel. Rounding out the horror slate are recent hits like MaXXXine and Trap, arriving later in the month.
Max also offers lighter fare, with comedies and classics like The Franchise on October 6 and beloved movies like Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Lawrence of Arabia on October 1. No matter what mood you’re in, Max has your viewing needs covered.
