The Best TV Shows And Movies Coming To Hulu And Disney+ In October 2022

Spooky season is upon us, which means it's time for the biggest streaming services to roll out their Halloween specials and whatever classic scary movies or TV series they currently hold the rights to. But before we get into that, let's run through some of the non-spooky (or even non-spoopy) offerings headed your way this October.

If you're among those pouring money into Mickey Mouse's pockets (who isn't, right?), there are a number of noteworthy titles arriving on Disney+ and Hulu that month. Perhaps chief among them is "Schitt's Creek," the beloved Canadian sitcom that only just left its former home at Netflix to set up camp at Hulu. There are also, in a pleasant surprise, several Pedro Almodóvar movies dropping onto Hulu in October. If you've always meant to catch up on the revered Spanish filmmaker's work but haven't because there's simply too much to watch as is, now's as good a time as any to remedy that.

And don't forget "Rosaline!" — director Karen Maine's comedic re-telling of "Romeo and Juliet" will stream exclusively on Hulu and may yet prove to be a winning skewering of Shakespeare's tragedy (one that, by the look of it, has big Gen Z energy). With that said, here are some appropriately horror-flavored titles to watch out for in October 2022, along with everything other film and TV show headed to Hulu and Disney+ that month.

Are you ready to see what sights Pinhead has to show us in this confusingly-named reboot? Yes, this is a reboot and not a legacy sequel, even though it follows the legacy sequel title trend started by "Halloween" and "Scream." 

Odessa A'zion stars in "Hellraiser" (2022) as Riley, a young woman struggling with addiction who accidentally summons the demonic Cenobites after getting her hands on a mysterious, ancient puzzle box. Jamie Clayton co-stars as the extra-dimensional Pinhead, making her the successor to longtime "Hellraiser" actor Doug Bradley, as well as the first trans woman to inhabit the role. Count me among those eager to watch the talented "Sense8" alum put her spin on such a legendary horror character.

Admittedly, outside of Clive Barker's original 1987 film (itself adapted from Barker's novella "The Hellbound Heart"), the previous "Hellraiser" movies are notorious for being, to put it kindly, a very mixed bag. All the same, with director David Bruckner — who's evolved into one of the most fascinating artists in the modern horror scene — and his "The Night House" writers Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski leading the way, early signs point to this new entry being more pleasure than pain. Er, you know what I mean.

I'll be honest: I've seen "The New Mutants" and it is not a great movie. But it is an interesting film — the kind worth taking a look at now that it's streaming for "free" on Disney+, especially if you've always been curious about Fox's ill-fated attempt to take the "X-Men" movies in a darker, more terrifying direction.

Anya Taylor-Joy, Maisie Williams, Charlie Heaton, Blu Hunt, and Henry Zaga star as the titular mutants, a group of young adults trapped in a secret facility where it's hard to say who the bigger danger is: The captors or the inmates. As directed by Josh Boone of "The Fault in Our Stars" fame, "The New Mutants" is part slasher/thriller pastiche, part "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" riff, complete with all the coming-of-age drama, monster metaphors, and even queer romance of that cherished TV series.

The only downside? "The New Mutants" is very much less than the sum of its parts, which is all the more frustrating given how promising those individual elements are. Still, while it may be a mess, it's also the kind of risk-taking mess that leaves an impression, more than other, more vanilla superhero movies. And with Halloween right around the corner, what better time to find out just how scary (or maybe just scary-bad) you think this film really is?
