In October 2025, horror fans have much to look forward to.

The 2021 film, an adaptation of the 1947 classic, follows the rise and fall of a trickster carny who navigates the depths of show business.
Across town, true horror fanatics can delve into the "Saw" franchise on Hulu this month. While the first film in the series remains the strongest, the 2005 sequel "Saw II" has a lot to offer. It introduces the Nerve Gas House, giving the franchise its first true puzzle maze, and significantly expands the role of the Jigsaw Killer, played by Tobin Bell. "Saw II" also features some of the franchise's most visceral traps and a memorable twist.
Whether it's the chilling finale of "Nightmare Alley" or the nerve-wracking traps of "Saw II," October 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting time for horror fans.
