October is here, and that means spooky season is finally here, the time of year when the best streaming services are flooded with new horror movies and shows to get you through the colder months. If you're like me and need a distraction from the impending short days and cold weather, a good movie will do the trick, and Paramount Plus's 2024 October list could be the perfect fall companion.

The best Paramount Plus films and the best Paramount Plus series are joined by a long list of titles, including – above all – some of the best horror films from slashers like Friday the 13th (1980) and gothic horror films like Sleepy Hollow (1999) to modern psychological horror films like orphan (2009).
