A very scientific ranking of all the Halloween-themed streaming hubs, from Peacocktober to Huluween and more
Photo: Screenshot October is a month for relentlessly corny Halloween puns, and this year, hardly any streaming service was innocent. The Peacocktobers and Huluweens of the world descended to trick-or-treat their users this month, but while their names might be what everyone notices, there are actual Halloween hubs attached to them — and some are better than others. They hold within their clunky interfaces and clumsy wordplay some legitimately terrifying and entertaining movies and television.
Catalog depth: IMDb TV does go fairly deep on the kid-friendly scares of R.L. Stine, with several of his Mostly Ghostly and other films available. This is also one of the few places online where you can watch the original Bewitched as well as the horror-satire Scream Queens.User friendliness: Like sibling platform Prime Video, the overall IMDb TV interface is super basic and does a meh job making content stand out. That’s certainly true when it comes to Halloween programming.
Catalog depth: Neither quality control nor curation seem to be Amazon’s priority, but its sheer volume of obscure B movies — often sporting fun titles like The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism — is laudable.User friendliness: Arguably the most confusing, least user-friendly browsing experience among major streamers stays firmly on-brand for Halloween: Hunting for screams is a horror.
Score: 8/13 Fangs 6. The Criterion Channel Photo: Screenshot Nom de scare: “Universal Horror Films,” “Home Invasion,” “True Crime”
