It's nearly October, which means we're officially into spooky season, and Hulu — one of the best streaming services — is delivering plenty of thrills to keep you entertained in the run-up to Halloween.
As you might expect, there's a slew of new horror flicks for Huluween throughout October, including a nightmarish story about a children's TV host, a creature feature that's bound to be an arachnophobe's worst nightmare, and many more.
If you're not looking for a scare, don't worry: Hulu is still adding a bunch of stuff to keep you glued to your screen all month. You can look forward to taking a deep dive into the ruthless (and kinda racy!) world of independent TV in "Rivals", the final season of "What We Do in the Shadows" and a boxing drama reuniting Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna.
Read on for our comprehensive guide to all the great new movies and shows coming to (and leaving) Hulu in October 2024.
NEW ON HULU IN OCTOBER 2024: TOP PICKS
'Hold Your Breath' (2024)
"Hold Your Breath" is a new Hulu Original gothic horror movie from Karrie Crouse and Will Joines that takes us back in time to 1930s Oklahoma, which is currently experiencing some terrible windstorms.
There, we meet a mother (played by Sarah Paulson) who reaches breaking point; she's convinced that a mysterious presence is hiding in the storms, and she goes to extraordinary lengths to protect her daughters from it.
Watch on Hulu from October 3
'La Máquina'
"La Máquina" is a Hulu limited series starring Gael García Bernal as Esteban "La Máquina" Osuna, a boxer who has crashed to a low point in his career after a devastating loss. Thankfully, he has his manager and best friend Andy Lujan (Diego Luna) by his side, who is determined to get him back on top of his game.
But when a nefarious organization gets involved in his rematch, the stakes get sky-high. And as if things weren't bad enough, Esteban's also got to juggle battling his career rebound with battling his own personal demons and his attempts to protect his family, including his ex-wife Irasema (Eiza González), a journalist who is on a collision course with the sport's darker side.
Watch on Hulu from October 9
'Mr. Crocket'
When the intense "Mr. Crocket" trailer dropped, fellow Tom's Guide writer Alix Blackburn singled it out as the wildest thing she'd seen so far this year, and I can totally see why.
This new Hulu horror flick revolves around the terrifying titular children's TV host. Set in 1993, the movie revolves around Mr. Crocket, a demonic children's entertainer who starts magically emerging from TV sets and kidnapping young children, murdering their parents in the process. But when Crocket steals away her son, one mother decides to fight back and embarks on a quest to track Crocket down and rescue her boy before it's too late.
Watch on Hulu starting October 11
'Rivals'
"Rivals" is an eight-part adaptation of one of British author Dame Jilly Cooper's many novels. Set in the fictional UK country of Rutshire (the whole series is dubbed the "Rutshire Chronicles"), "Rivals" dives into the ruthless world of 1980s independent television, chronicling the rivalry between ex-Olympic rider-turned-politician Rupert Campbell-Black and the ambitious TV station controller, Lord Tony Baddingham.
It's a tale of excesses, of power-grabbing members of English high society, and one that's sure to be packed full of drama. It also boasts a slew of British and Irish famous faces, with the likes of David Tennant, Aidan Turner, Katherine Parkinson, Alex Hassell, Danny Dyer, and many more due to appear.
Watch on Hulu starting October 18
'Sting' (2024)
If you're afraid of spiders, look away now. If not, but you're on the hunt for a suitably scary creature feature to watch this October, then "Sting" is one of many options dropping on Hulu.
The movie revolves around Charlotte (Alyla Browne), a young, rebellious girl who is often left to fend for herself by the rest of her family. In secret, Charlotte decides to raise a tiny spider she comes across in her apartment building as a pet, naming it "Sting". The problems come when Sting rapidly grows into a giant monster and sets about terrorizing the building by attacking other pets and residents.
