October is here, and that means it's time to watch a lot of horror movies. Obviously, horror fans watch scary films all year round, but there's something about the month of Halloween that means gorging on as many of them as possible. Luckily, Shudder is on hand to provide plenty of horrific visual treats this October.

　　There are three big Shudder exclusives hitting the service next month. V/H/S/94 is the highly-anticipated fourth part in the popular found-footage anthology series, and it hits the platform on October 6. The movie features segments from previous contributors Simon Barrett (The Guest) and Timo Tjahjanto (May the Devil Take You), as well as newcomers Jennifer Reeder (Knives & Skin), Ryan Prows (Lowlife), and Chloe Okuno (Slut). Check out the trailer below:

　　The Medium, which releases on October 14, is a must-watch for fans of Asian terror. It's a mockumentary about a film crew that follows a woman who is showing signs of being a powerful shaman. It's directed by Banjong Pisanthanakun (Shutter) and produced by Na Hongjin (The Wailing), and if you've seen either of those earlier films you'll know that The Medium will deliver the scary goods

　　The third big new release is the Black horror anthology Horror Noire. It follows the 2019 documentary of the same title and is set to showcase the work of Black directors and screenwriters, including Tananarive Due, Steven Barnes, Victor LaValle, Shernold Edwards. Horror Noire hits Shudder on October 28.

　　There are also some TV originals releasing in October. The new series Behind the Monsters premieres on October 27 and focuses on some of the most iconic villains in horror, including Freddy, Jason, Chucky, and Candyman. The popular anthology series Creepshow continues its third season throughout October too, with new episodes releasing every Thursday until October 28.

　　Finally, there's a wealth of classic and catalog movies hitting the service in October. These include John Carpenter's sci-fi favorite Escape from New York, '80s gems Motel Hell, Night of the Demons, Children of the Corn, and The Mutilator, stylish Australian killer pig chiller Razorback, and J-horror masterpiece Pulse. There's also a quartet of classic '70s Blaxploitation horror movies, plus the return of everyone's favorite horror host, Joe Bob Briggs, with another Halloween special. And, of course, the return of the ever-popular Ghoul Log!
