The night of Halloween will soon be upon us, and that means that you’ll have to find a Horror show or Movie to match the atmosphere. Luckily for you Netflix are welcoming plenty of new spooky flicks this month.
It should go without saying, but Netflix does already host a number of Horror titles far beyond what we have listed today. Anything from the newly released Netflix Original Little Evil to the classic Stephen King title The Shining. Check out our complete list of Horror TV series on Netflix.
Without further ado, here are all the brand new Horror titles that we will be welcoming in October.
Stranger Things (Season 2) Netflix Original Series
Release Date: October 27th, 2017
Arguably one of the most popular and best Netflix Originals to come out of 2016 was ‘Stranger Things’. The fantasy Horror pays homage to many great films of the past and clearly takes many influences of Stephen King and Spielberg. When a young boy disappears in the somewhat secretive town of Hawkins, his friends must set out to find him, with the help of a police chief and the boys’ somewhat crazed mother. On the 27th of October, we will be welcoming season 2 to Netflix.
Ghost Patrol (2016)

Ghost Patrol is an animated kids show following the adventure of Gabi and Spence. They are a team of supernatural pest control, who are on the hunt for ghosts.

If you don’t want to put something too scary on for your children this Halloween, Ghost Patrol is a perfect choice.

Netflix Release Date: October 3rd, 2017
The 3rd of October brings us 13 Demons, a Jumanji style film about a group of friends who stumble across the long-banned medieval board game aptly titled “13 Demons”.
