Comedy, action and horror – these are just a few of the genres that are coming to Max in October 2024, proving once again why it belongs among the best streaming services. After a slightly less packed scheduled in August 2024, which did improve in September 2024 but only slightly, I can say with confidence that next month, we are so back. 

It's a relief that Max has pulled itself together for October 2024 since spooky season is the best time of year to indulge in a good show or movie, especially the best horror movies, which the platform is filling out with classics from A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) to Misery (1990). 

With over 60 movies arriving on October 1 alone, choosing a movie or show can go either way. It could be the easiest choice in the world, or trigger your indecisiveness – so it's a good thing we have a best Max movies recommendations guide to point you in the right direction.
