2 Netflix new releases to watch and 1 to skip this weekend (Oct. 4)

The first weekend of October has arrived, and for most of us, that means it's finally time to start our annual Halloween movie marathons. It's the season of Hocus Pocus and horror movies and all things witchy and spooky, which accounts for one of the three top Netflix new releases this weekend.

This week, Netflix dropped a ton of new movies and shows, including throwbacks and recent favorites alike. Among the new additions are Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Yellowjackets season 1, Psycho, Halloween, Robin Hood, It Chapter Two, and so many more.

There's something for everyone to watch this weekend, especially if you're still catching up on recently released Netflix originals like Nobody Wants This, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, and Unsolved Mysteries volume 5.

But if you're looking to dive into some new releases, should you check out the new horror comedy movie It's What's Inside? Are the new seasons of Heartstopper and Love is Blind a must on your weekend watch list? Let's see what's a watch and what's a skip!
