October 13, 2024, 8:43pm

Netflix has several new horror offerings this Halloween season

Horror movie fans with a Netflix subscription have had quite a few new options to check out this Spooky Season. Netflix originals like The Platform 2 and It’s What’s Inside have made waves on the service in the early part of the month, and a few popular horror franchises have seen entries land on Netflix over the past couple of weeks. 2018’s Halloween and A Quiet Place Part II have both been added to Netflix’s streaming roster in October, along with one of the newest films in the beloved Scream franchise.

Scream returned in 2022 with a film that was half-reboot, half-sequel, combining the original cast with a brand new roster of Woodsboro victims. Directed by Radio Silence, the first Scream film since Wes Craven’s passing was both a commercial and critical success.

As with the other films in the franchise, Scream (yes, the same name as the original movie) has a lot of dedicated fans that enjoy rewatching the film on a regular basis. It appears many of those fans have Netflix subscriptions as well.

Immediately after landing on Netflix, Scream found its way onto the streamer’s daily rotating movie charts. Sunday’s edition of the Netflix Top 10 Movies list sees Scream as the seventh most-watched movie currently on the service. As the week goes on, and Halloween inches closer, it wouldn’t be too surprising to see Scream climb even higher in the ranks.
