Trick-or-Treat
The movies listed above are just a sampling of the spooky content you'll find streaming across platforms this month — which is equal parts trick and treat. If you're seeking content you can watch with your kids, you'll probably have the best luck with either Disney+ or HBO Max. In comparison, Hulu and Netflix tend to lean more toward edgy and mature content. Let's just say Netflix is heavy on Halloween films of the more slasher variety.
All that's left to do is grab a bowl of candy, light the black flame candle, and have a spooktacular streaming session. Just make sure your Nest and Ring doorbells are set up for Halloween, so no goblins sneak in while you're binging.
