The Best Movies And Shows Coming To Netflix In October 2021

October is right around the corner, bringing with it cooler weather, pumpkin-flavored everything, Halloween, and, of course, new titles on Netflix. The streaming giant just revealed their line-up for October, a large list that includes spooky-themed entertainment, new TV shows, Netflix originals, and some obscure show called "Seinfeld." Never heard of it. Keep reading to get the full list of every movie and show coming to Netflix in October 2021. 

I was a bit mixed on Zack Snyder's "Army of the Dead," but I enjoyed the character of German safecracker Dieter (Matthias Schweighöfer), and he's the subject of the new movie "Army of Thieves." The flick is set seven years before "Army of the Dead," and follows Dieter when he's hired to pull off a heist just as a zombie outbreak is beginning. Not only is Schweighöfer back to play Dieter, he's also the director on the film, working from a story by Snyder and Shay Hatten. 

I recently revisited "Ghost" for the first time in a long time, and you know what? It still holds up! Patrick Swayze is a murdered Wall Street guy who connects with psychic Whoopi Goldberg to help save Demi Moore, who spends the entire movie crying. The special effects are neat, Swayze is a dreamboat, and Whoopi Goldberg steals the entire movie. It's funny, romantic, and even a little creepy (I'm looking at you, shadowy demon things that show up when a bad character dies).
