Everything new on Paramount Plus in October 2024

October has arrived, which means it's finally spooky season, the time of year when all the best streaming services get inundated with new horror movies and shows to get you through the colder months. If you're like me and you need a distraction from the looming short days and cold weather, a good movie goes a long way and Paramount Plus' October 2024 list could be the perfect fall companion. 

Joining all the best Paramount Plus movies in addition to the best Paramount Plus shows is a long line of titles, including – most notably – some of the best horror movies from slashers like Friday the 13th (1980) and gothic horrors like Sleepy Hollow (1999) to modern psychological horrors such as Orphan (2009). 

In other words, it's basically every horror fan's best dream, and every horror hater's worst nightmare. But luckily it's not all spooks with Paramount Plus' October 2024 schedule, as you can always sink into a heartfelt drama to take your mind off the spooky month ahead – I'd recommend The Truman Show (1998), if you really want to test your emotional capacity that is.
