And just like that it was Spooky Season. Having said that, Netflix’s list of new releases for October 2021 isn’t as horror-centric as one might think. But there is still plenty of streaming candy to be found.
Three existing Netflix original series of note get new seasons this month. It all starts with The Baby-Sitters Club season 2 on Oct. 11, leads into You season 3 on Oct. 15, and concludes with Locke & Key season 2 on Oct. 22. The latter two are pretty spooky in their own right. And who knows – maybe The Baby-Sitters Club will get a Boy Meets World-style slasher episode in its second season.
Movies are where the real fireworks are this month though. October sees the arrival of the Jake Gyllenhaal thriller The Guilty (Oct. 1), and horror flicks like There’s Someone Inside Your House (Oct. 6), Night Teeth (Oct. 20), and Hypnotic (Oct. 27). And if that weren’t enough the sequel to Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, Army of Thieves, is already almost here with an Oct. 29 debut.
Of course, all of this new stuff may end up getting eclipsed by an oldie. Surely, you have heard by now that a certain show about nothing is set to make its big streaming return on Oct. 1. Amid all the traditional horror of October, be sure to make some room for the social horror of Seinfeld.
