Since today is the first day of autumn and the leaves have already begun to change colour, I suggest you settle in for a marathon of your favourite slasher flicks. The month of September has been dedicated to advertising Halloween programming on all the major streaming services and television networks. As of today, Paramount+ has announced the return of Peak Screaming, just in time to provide some extra chills to your Halloween.
Premieres of A Quiet Place, Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Descent, and Paranormal Activity are among this year’s highlights. Significant Other will also make its debut during the festival on October 7.
Monster High: The Movie will have its world premiere on October 7 as part of “Family Fright Nights,” which will also feature the premieres of Halloween-themed episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants, Big Nate, and Paw Patrol. An all-new episode of the blockbuster series Ghosts themed around Halloween will air on October 27, followed by the premiere of the second season two days later, on October 29. Paramount+ has increased the size of its horror library by a factor of two this year, and the service has also added new sub-genres. There are “Slasher Hits,” which includes Scream (2022), Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, and both blockbuster Orphan flicks; “Big Screen’s Big Screams,” which contains films like A Quiet Place, Candyman (2021), and The Ring; and “Buried Gems,” which includes The Babysitter (1995) and Saint Maud.
The Addams Family (1991), Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and the unjustly underappreciated Archie’s Weird Mysteries all fall into the “Family Fright Night” category, which focuses on horror films appropriate for children. A few examples of “Suspenseful Series” on television are the just concluded third season of Evil, the new Twilight Zone, and The Stand. Finally, if you subscribe to Paramount+, which includes Showtime, you can watch even more terrifying programming. This category include films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Wrong Turn (2021), Midsommar, X, Hereditary, The Silence of the Lambs, and Rosemary’s Baby as well as the Emmy-nominated television series Yellowjackets.
The premiere of the network’s newest series, Let the Right One In, is set for October 7. Up until October 2, Paramount+ is offering a discount on both the Essential Tier (normally $7.99) and the Premium Tier (normally $12.99) if you sign up for either one. Throughout the past year, Paramount+ has steadily increased its horror programming in preparation for Halloween. Megahits like Scream (2022) and Orphan: First Kill has helped the studio have a successful year in the horror genre. With such a roster of classics as The Night of the Living Dead, Jennifer’s Body, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Craft, and Annihilation, Paramount+ has swiftly risen to the top of the horror food chain.
Paramount+ is one of the greatest alternatives this season, especially if you are a novice horror enthusiast who wants to explore every aspect of the genre. They have a fantastic blend of oldies, undiscovered treasures, and recent masterpieces. Now on Paramount+, you can delve even further into Peak Screaming with sections like “Teen Terrors,” “Chilling Classics,” and “Nickelodeon Monster Fest!”
