The rise of streaming services that are available to consumers makes it possible to stream countless horror films directly into our homes almost instantly, though we often spend as much time searching for the perfect film as we do enjoying the movie itself. Being able to turn on a specific channel during October will take the decision-making out of your hands, while also fulfilling the communal experience of other TV viewers out there somewhere enjoying the same programming that you're watching.
