Peacock is going all-in on horror this month. A ton of scary movies are getting added to the service starting on October 1, including major franchises like Scream and Friday the 13th. Speaking of Friday the 13th, Peacock is also dropping a new original prequel called Crystal Lake on October 15. The highly anticipated series follows Jason's mother who is still mourning nearly a year after his death. If you're wondering what's worth watching, we've gathered together some of our top picks right here. You can also jump to all of the new releases for October for the full list by day. What's Worth Watching The Blade Trilogy - October 1 Although Marvel's upcoming Blade movie has been tragically cancelled , the original trilogy is still ripe for the watching. After Wesley Snipes' cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine , the films have been harder to find. The trilogy being added to streaming service is worthy of a movie marathon celebration, especially during the spooky season. The second Blade is arguably one of the best vampire movies ever made after all. The Mummy (1999) - October 1 Although The Mummy isn't the scariest of movies, it's still worth a rewatch in October. This is arguably the best Brendan Fraser movies of all time and the franchise is set to get its fourth installment in October 2027. Fraser has been reportedly training for the upcoming movie, which is bringing back many of the original characters that made it such a timeless classic. Read IGN's Review of The Mummy . Train to Busan - October 1 Train to Busan is a Korean zombie apocalypse movie that does everything right. The story follows a businessman named Seo Seok-woo and his daughter as they travel on a train to Busan that is actively being overrun by vicious zombies. If you don't mind watching a film with subtitles, we highly recommend checking it out. Train to Busan currently sits on our list of the best zombie movies of all time . Crystal Lake - October 15 It's been 17 years since the last Friday the 13th movie was released, so right now feels like the perfect time for a new addition to the franchise. Crystal Lake is a prequel series that focuses on the events before the original 1980 movie that started it all. The story follows Jason's mother, who is still dealing with the aftermath of her son's death. The series will offer a fresh look at the events and people that helped make one of the most iconic horror villains of all time.

For maximum savings, I'd recommend sticking with one of the Apple TV and Peacock Premium bundles . This will get you both services at a decent discount, which opens up the full library of Apple TV Originals . With the most recent price increase only affecting standalone plans, this is a solid option. Although Peacock does not offer its own free trial , you can technically get the service via the Walmart+ free trial . New Walmart+ subscribers get 30 days free, and the service includes either a Peacock Premium or Paramount+ subscription.
