Pluto TV has expanded its free streaming catalog with 92 new movie additions for October. The platform offers a wide selection of horror, sci-fi, and thriller titles for the Halloween season without requiring a paid monthly subscription.
Leading the new arrivals is Joe Cornish’s 2011 cult classic Attack the Block. The British sci-fi comedy-horror stars John Boyega as Moses and Jodie Whittaker as nurse Sam. It follows young London residents who defend their neighborhood after an alien spacecraft crashes nearby.
Massive Franchise Marathons and Stephen King Classics
The centerpiece of Pluto TV’s October schedule is the return of its “Halloween Hits” collection, which spans multiple subgenres:
- Scream 30th Anniversary: Wes Craven’s meta-horror masterpiece is celebrated with five films from the franchise, including Scream (1996), Scream 2, Scream 3, Scream 4, and Scream (2022).
- Friday the 13th & Sleepaway Camp: All eight Paramount-era Friday the 13th films-from the 1980 original through Jason Takes Manhattan-are streaming alongside the first three Sleepaway Camp movies.
- Found Footage & Stephen King: Six Paranormal Activity films are available alongside Stephen King adaptations like Cujo, Silver Bullet, Thinner, The Dead Zone, Pet Sematary (1989 and 2019), and Maximum Overdrive.
