Polygon reports that October is shaping up to be a massive month for horror fans across both theaters and home streaming platforms.

Notable October releases include Beware Boiúna, starring Kiana Madeira and Jessica Rothe, which follows medical workers battling a mythological snake in the rainforest. Meanwhile, modern creator culture gets the found footage treatment in The Influencer Project, produced by the minds behind The Blair Witch Project. Tech anxieties also take center stage in Appofeniacs, a vignette style film exploring generative AI chaos, alongside Jessica Chastain starring in the viral adaptation Other Mommy.
Other highlights hitting screens this October include the erotic thriller Verity starring Dakota Johnson, a 4K director's cut of Ken Russell's controversial 1971 classic The Devils, and Whalefall, which strands a scuba diver inside a sperm whale with an hour of oxygen.
