Every Scary Movie & Spooky Show Coming To Netflix In October 2017 Just In Time For Halloween

Yes, you're still mourning over all of your favorite shows that are being taken off of Netflix next month, but — not to minimize your loss because 30 Rock was important to all of us — there is some good news. Just in time for Halloween, there are a bunch of scary movies and TV shows to watch on Netflix. We're talking everything from heart-stopping thrillers to spooky shows that will keep you in head-to-toe goosebumps from one episode to the next.

You probably already know that Stranger Things is dropping its second season just in time for Halloween, on Oct. 27. But there are plenty more movies and TV shows just waiting to be added to your queue so they can creep you out. Whether you like jump scares, suspense, eerie plot lines, or psychological thrillers, Netflix has something for you. They've got every angle of your Halloween covered... as long as you're planning on spending the month in your jack-o-lantern patterned PJs, with your hand in a bowl of candy corn.

Sure, you can probably step away from your television set for a couple hours on Halloween itself, to hit up some parties and show off your costume. But you have the entire month before then to mine these new additions to the streaming platform for ideas. Will you go as Chucky? Donnie Darko? Barb from Stranger Things? The options are limitless, and Netflix is the fairy ghostmother who will guide your way.

Finally, a more lighthearted movie on the list. May a young Fred Savage and his monster-filled adventures make you feel way better after indulging in all the other terrifying films.

It's a great crop of chilling movies and TV shows, and it should keep your hair standing on end through the month, at the very least.
