Prime Video
Hot Potato: The Story of the Wiggles
Did your child watch The Wiggles growing up? They were a hugely popular Australian musical group for children throughout the 90s and early 2000s and had major hits like “Hot Potato” and “Fruit Salad.” They had a show on The Disney Channel for a few years in the early 2000s as well. Now, Prime Video is releasing a documentary about the world-renowned group on October 24, detailing how they rose to fame and the struggles the 4 members experienced along the way.

The Exorcist: Believer
My last pick for you is The Exorcist: Believer. This film had been highly-anticipated by fans of the original Exorcist film leading up to its theater release in early October, and now you can enjoy it if you have Premium Video On Demand. You can also buy this film on Prime Video and Google Play Movies for $29.99 or rent it for $19.99. A direct sequel to The Exorcist (1973), this story follows the disappearance of two young girls who return 3 days later with no memory of what happened to them, only to find out that they’ve been possessed by a demon. Ellyn Burstyn makes her return from the original film as Chris McNeil, and stars alongside other Hollywood stars like Leslie Odom Jr., Jennifer Nettles, and Ann Dowd.

Hulu
American Horror Stories
As part of Huluween, Hulu will be exclusively releasing the third installment of American Horror Stories on October 26. The 4-episode season will feature all new characters and storylines, with the titles of each episode being as creepy as ever – “Bestie,” “Daphne,” “Organ,” and “Tapeworm.”Based on those titles and the trailers, I have a feeling this season is going to be the scariest one yet.
Paramount+
Milli Vanilli
Another documentary coming out on October 24 that is exclusive to Paramount+ is Milli Vanilli. This is the story of the two men who made up the German-French R&B duo, Robert Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan, and how they became one of the biggest duos in the world only to quickly fall from the spotlight after one of the music industry’s biggest scandals. You’ll head from Rob and Fab, along with record executives, the producer mastermind behind the deception, and more.

Netflix
Old Dads
If you’re not a big scary movie fan, Halloween might not be the most fun time for you. Luckily, the #1 movie on Netflix right now is a comedy called Old Dads and people are loving it. It stars Bill Burr, Bobby Cannavale, and Bokeem Woodbine and tells the story of 3 best friends who become fathers in their 40s and now have to navigate fatherhood in a fast-changing world. It’s a story that I’m sure many older parents can relate to, and audiences are loving it. You can stream it on Netflix right now.
Pain Hustlers
Pain Hustlers is a highly-anticipated drama coming to Netflix on October 27. It has an all-star cast including Emily Blunt, Chris Evans, Catherine O’Hara, and Brian D’Arcy James, and tells the story of a woman who accepts a job at a failing pharmaceutical company only to end up getting thrown into a criminal conspiracy. The film was directed by David Yates and based on the 2022 book of the same name by Evan Hughes.
It Ain’t Over
Although this documentary is not a new film as it came out in 2022, people raved about it and gave it a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and it’s coming to Netflix on October 26. “It Ain’t Over” is an incredible documentary that tells the story of New York Yankees catcher legend Yogi Berra from the point of view of his friends, family, and former players. If you’re a sports fan, and more importantly a Yankees fan, you’re not going to want to miss this one.

Just in time for Halloween, the highly-anticipated horror film Five Nights At Freddy’s is coming to Peacock on October 27.

It stars Josh Hutcherson, Matthew Lillard, and Elizabeth Lail, and you can also see it in theaters if you want to get scared on the big screen.

The Nun II
One movie that made a big splash at the box office back in September was The Nun II, and if you didn’t get a chance to see it, it’s coming to Max on October 27. It’s the sequel to The Nun (2018) and the 8th installment in The Conjuring Universe franchise. Taking place in France in 1956, The Nun II tells the story of how Sister Irene meets the demon nun Valek once again. It’s sure to please viewers looking for their scary fix for Halloween.
