October has arrived and it also has the schedule for new HBO Max films that are making the streaming service’s catalog of titles even better – and spookies.
Our top election this month everyone comes from the horror genre, all with over 90% on the rat tomatoes from the critics. Three of these are Slasher -Movies, such as Wes Craven’s A nightmare on Elm Street (1984), but I have also chosen a supernatural horror that is considered one of the most frightening films ever made, and a witch film – both of A24.
I am convinced that these choices will perfectly help you with the transition to the official eerie season, but it does not have to be about horror as HBO Max has an abundance of genres in the way you can see below. That’s why it’s one of the best streaming services.
