ByJake Curtis Hours

Proceed with caution, and do not leave without a costume. Be weary of razor blades and LSD-laced candy. Expect a trick, and you’ll be lucky if you get a treat. This is Halloween.  For this month’s entry, the crew at Geek Insider is focusing on all the spooky flicks and supernatural shows to keep you glued to your seats. After all, you’re better off inside away from the ghosts and goblins.

WHO’S THAT CREEPING IN MY WINDOW? (or NEW ARRIVALS)

‘The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ takes flight October 26.

Riverdale fans, rejoice. Sabrina fans, rejoice even more. Fans of the recent Sabrina comic books, WILL RAGE. This new TV show promises a darker and grittier take on the character but not without losing its charm and tact. I am EXTREMELY excited about this release, and it’s streaming date only gives more of a reason to look forward to All Hallow’s Eve. Watch witches take flight and summon Satan on October 26 with Sabrina.

‘The Shining’ streams October 1.

The classic Stephen King novel comes to life with Kubrick’s big screen adaptation from 1980. The movie’s age doesn’t show; the gorgeous set pieces, excellent camera work, and unsettlingly astounding acting from Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall make this movie a no-brainer hit. It’s also a movie that’ll attempt to smash your brains in with an axe, too.  Quick hint: if Johnny’s knockin’ at the door, best to leave it be and demolish a bag of candy corn. You’ve been warned! Streams October 1. Did someone say moon landing?

‘Blade’ slices his way to Netflix October 1.

Blade was the first R-rated movie I saw as a kid. Through all the Twilight movies and the plethora of vampire films, excluding the phenomenal What We Do in the Shadows (a must-see!), Blade still stands the test of time. It’s scary, action-packed and reminds you why people thought vampires were so badass in the first place. Wesley Snipes is clearly having a good time in the role, and it’s even more fun to watch him slash through other vampires.  Additionally, as far as early Marvel adaptations go, this one is great! Though I have to say, come on Marvel. Where’s the Blade TV show we’ve always wanted? Blade day-walks to Netflix October 1.

‘Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj’ available October 28.

Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj is a weekly variety and comedy show from Daily Show alum Hasan Minhaj. Having crafted his own unique brand of self-aware, politically-biting and whip-smart humor, this show promises to be a heavy-hitter in laughs. Some of his jokes are hilarious purely by being in their truth. In Trump’s America, we need as many voices like Minhaj’s as possible. Watch this program when it arrives to Netflix October 28.

SPOOKY SIGHTS LEAVING SOON

‘CURSE OF CHUCKY’ cuts out October 1.

While I’ve never been a huge fan of the Chucky series I’ll admit to one thing: he scares the sh*t out of me, and I’m a grown ass man. Curse of Chucky is a return to form, however.  While not without its funny gags and callbacks to other moments in the film series, it harnesses the energy the first few films had. It’s eerie, it’s ambient and it’s pretty dark. At least when Chucky comes to play, the person watching the mayhem is safe, right? Now why do I get a sense that someone’s waiting from above to drop a knife through my skull.  You’ve got a day. Watch this before Chucky watches you. Leaves October 1.

‘V/H/S/ 2’ skips town on October 24.

In its second installment, V/H/S/ 2 doesn’t let up on the creativity. The first movie was incredibly good, and came out of nowhere. Acting as an anthology film, each movie has several short films from different and sometimes recurring directors. A Ride in the Park is a particular standout vignette, a drawn-out zombie crawl that’s absolutely brutal. Chock full of surprises, V/H/S/ 2 definitely impresses and might even keep you from sleeping through the night. Does anyone else feel like the opportunity for a cheesy VHS monster movie is the biggest cash grab ever? Just a stray thought. V/H/S/ 2 goes mysteriously missing October 26.

THAT’S A (MUMMY?) WRAP!
