It’s a season of scares, screams, and people going to theme parks to screech at grown people inside costumes. It’s a time for horror movies, so get a bowl of candy and let’s get scared!

When it comes to Netflix, October isn’t just a season for the creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky. It’s a season of elaborate heists, football games played by non-NFL teams, and Jackie Chan teaming up with Chris Tucker.

Gladiator
Risky Business
Scooby-Doo
Labyrinth
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze
