It’s the best time of year to be a horror movie fan. There’s nothing cozier than a chilly autumn day, a spooky movie, and a little treat. Maybe a cider donut? Mulled wine? Candy corn? (Does anyone actually like candy corn?)

Anyway, whatever your favorite autumn treat may be, get a big bag/glass/bowl, throw on a warm blanket, and stream one of our October recommendations for FREE!

You heard me! While it seems like nothing is free these days, the streaming service Tubi is actually free. Some of their movies and shows have ads, but some don’t! In a world where streamers are increasing their prices at ridiculous rates, it’s nice to have one that isn’t trying to collectively gouge us.

What’s also nice is that Tubi has a Terror on Tubi page with a great selection of scary, spooky, and family-friendly Halloween films and shows.

But it’s a big selection – there’s a lot to choose from – so that’s why we’re here to help.

All our recommendations this month are part of Terror on Tubi and available to watch for free.

You can check out the October “Terror on Tubi” List below.

This month we also wanted to put the spotlight on one film in particular – on that had it’s streaming debut this fall – Big Shark from The Room director Tommy Wiseau. Tubi is the first streaming service Wiseau allowed to stream his films. Our contributor Josie wrote a great piece about the movie here.

Be sure to also read Jen Howell’s feature on When a Strangers Calls Back.

The October list is also available on Letterboxd here.

We hope this list helps you find a great movie to get you in the Halloween spirit.
