Here’s what’s coming to (and going from) HBO in October
October is a spooooooky month, and HBO has reacted accordingly. For Halloween, subscribers will be able to watch The Descent, Predator, The Silence Of The Lambs, From Hell, Hannibal, The Fly II, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, and other spine-chilling (or attempted spine-chilling) affairs. But if purportedly scary movies aren’t your thing, there are plenty of other top-tier films headed to the service, including Inherent Vice, the unrated version of Taken, The Thin Red Line, and Fantastic Mr. Fox, to name a few.
One of the titles in among that number is also one of the year’s best comedies: The Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams-starring Game Night, which is stylish, sharp, and surprisingly suspenseful.
Subscribers will also be able to welcome the gentlemen of Pod Save America into their homes—the podcast, like 2 Dope Queens before it, is getting a series of specials on the network. Camping, the Jennifer Garner-fronted series from Jenni Konner and Lena Dunham, also debuts.
Sadly, this will also be your last chance to watch (on HBO) both versions of The Beguiled, the absolutely bonkers The Book Of Henry, Nine To Five, and Girls Trip, so if you’ve yet to experience Tiffany Haddish teaching the world about grapefruiting, there’s no time like the present.
