5 best new Netflix horror shows and movies coming in time for Halloween 2024

For some, the spooky Halloween season is the perfect time to binge-watch and enjoy everything thrills, chills, and downright scary. Thankfully the streaming platform Netflix is here to provide new frightening and nightmare inducing material perfect for this time of year.

From new television shows to films, we compiled a list of five options just in time for Halloween. Which will you indulge in first while digging into some candy?

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story

For some, this story hits very close to home as it is based on a true crime in Beverly Hills. Brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez were convicted of murdering their parents in 1989.

Since then, there have been conflicting opinions as to whether the brothers acted out of self-defense after years of abuse or if they simply wanted the family fortune. While we do not want to go into depth as to what occurs, needless to say, this story remains in the public conscience for a multitude of reasons.

This limited series will premiere on Sept. 19.

It's What's Inside

Fans of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead may want to settle in and enjoy this film premiering on Oct. 4. Starting the month strong is an interesting take on what happens when a wedding party falls apart due to an estranged friend with a questionable game.

This brings a whole new level to wedding nightmares and leaves audiences questioning, as well as the characters themselves, what's real and who's real. What limitless possibilities does this game come with and can anyone really win?

Outside

This Filipino horror film might just be what viewers are looking for in the zombie lore. Combining the horrific nature of zombies with the revelations of family secrets, we are looking forward to seeing what this film can bring to the horror table.

Unfortunately, we do not have much more information yet but that just leaves room for all the building anticipation. Outside premieres on Oct. 11.

Woman of the Hour

Anna Kendrick might not be the first name you'd think of when it comes to a story of this caliber. Believe it or not, a real-life serial killer had appeared on the popular dating show The Dating Game.

Rodney Alcala, responsible for at least 9 deaths appeared on the show in 1978, even winning a date with contestant Cheryl Bradshaw. Thankfully, Cheryl escaped perhaps a horrible fate by choosing not to go out with him.

This downright bone-chilling film will premiere on Oct. 18.

Time Cut

Time travel meets horror in this unique and bloodcurdling film about what happens when we are given the opportunity to change the past. Will Lucy be able to save her sister from a gruesome death? Will she be able to uncover the true identity of the killer? Who is the killer?

Does anyone else remember 2003 like I do? The suspense and endless possibilities are enough to have us hooked! Time Cut premieres on Oct. 30.
