89 free movies and shows on IMDb TV this October

This October is a spooky scary time for many reasons, number one being Halloween — yay! If your decorations have been up since before the first of the month, and you’re eagerly awaiting the new release of Roald Dahl’s The Witches — this list is for you. (True story: The original version of The Witches is the scariest thing I’ve seen — except for The Ring, *shivers*.)

Along with 11 new harrowing Halloween releases for October, there are also many Hidden Halloween Gems from IMDb TV’s full collection including some Jamie Lee Curtis classic horror in Prom Night.

It’s also time to refresh our TV watchlists as the weather turns cooler. If you’re like me and love funny sitcoms right now, you won’t want to miss My Picks for fall TV—including Season 6 of Schitt’s Creek.

October’s Movies of the Week

Kung Fu Panda 1 & 2, October 2

Always a hit with the kids! It’s a standby on IMDb TV for me when I need to entertain all my kids who range in ages from kindergartner to tween. It’s a hilarious movie with Jack Black, and kids love Jack Black, and they also love Kung Fu.

Hunger Games Franchise, October 9 and October 16

I’m pretty excited about this because I’ve only seen the first installment, The Hunger Games, and am pumped to finally check out Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Based on the book trilogy that’s sold over 65 million copies world wide, The Hunger Games stars Jennifer Lawrence, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland and Lenny Kravitz

10 Cloverfield Lane, October 23

10 Cloverfield Lane is the second installment of the Cloverfield science fiction anthology series for people who like creepy viral marketing, monster movies, other dimensions and alternate universes; starring John Goodman, Damien Chazelle, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Hidden Halloween Gems

The Children

I’m definitely streaming this super creepy British horror film based on it’s tagline, “You brought them into this world — now, they will take you out.” Imagine if your kids caught a virus that turned them into little psychopaths. Well, you know, at least more psychopathic than a normal day. Watch out, Mom and Dad!

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle

Another freaky horror movie involving children. Watch a deranged Rebecca De Mornay pose as a nanny in order to infiltrate the family of one of her dead husband’s patients. She’s taking revenge on a woman she believes falsely accused her husband of sexual abuse.

Prom Night

If you’re a film buff or a horror fan, you know Jamie Lee Curtis is the queen of fright. Watch her and Leslie Nielsen (yes, the guy from Airplane and Dragnet also did a horror movie) in this classic Canadian slasher film that broke box office records in 1980.

My picks for fun fall TV

Schitt’s Creek Season 6

Of course, if you haven’t seen this hilarious crowd pleaser that everyone’s watching, you are in luck, every season is now available for free on IMDb TV.

Alone

Alone is a Netflix reality show where professional survivalists spend 100 days in the Arctic wilderness. They are only allowed to bring 10 items to help them survive amidst a rugged backdrop full of bears and wolverines. I love this show because you learn invaluable information on what to eat if ever lost outside. It’s real-life horror for the couch potatoes among us — me included!

Dead Like Me

I know, I know, I should have watched this popular show ages ago but there were only so many viewing hours in the day when this series came out. Now that my at home hours have increased across the board, I’m excited to delve into this cleverly made show starring one of my favorites Mandy Patinkin.

Haunted History

I’m not really a fan of ghost-hunter shows, but History Channel’s Haunted History is different! It is about real haunted places. It involves real ghosts and real places that are really haunted. Put it on in the background to set the mood while you plot your Halloween plans this year and have fun!
