What's Coming to Hulu in October 2020

No one knows what a socially-distanced Halloween is going to look like, but Hulu isn’t letting that stop it from loading October’s streaming schedule with a ton of spook-’em-ups, from new originals to a grab bag of scary movies of years past.

The biggest draw for genre buffs is probably going to be Clive Barker’s Books of Blood, a new anthology film based on the work of one of the genre’s gross-out body horror masters. The film strings together three tales drawn from Barker’s sprawling series of chilling tales, with a framework based on the title work about a paranormal investigator who is attacked by demons while investigating a haunted house and winds up cursed. If that synopsis gets your blood pumping, you might be in the target demo—though my enthusiasm is tempered by the involvement of director Brannon Braga, whose filmography includes some true low points in the Star Trek franchise.

Other seasonal films on offer include The Eye, Hostel, House of 1,000 Corpses, The Quiet Ones, The Tooth Fairy, Scream 4, and many more listed below. And if it’s newer fare you’re after, the possibly final Terminator film, Terminator: Dark Fate, arrives on the streamer Oct. 9 to reveal the future to those who missed its pandemic-shortened theatrical run earlier this year.

Here’s the full list of everything coming to and leaving Hulu in October 2020.
