The post New to HBO Max in October 2025 appeared first on ClutchPoints.
Halloween season has officially taken over HBO Max. Starting October 1, the platform unleashes a long list of horror classics to set the mood, from the original A Nightmare on Elm Street and Beetlejuice to The Sixth Sense, Poltergeist, The Exorcist, and more eerie staples, Newsweek reports. Tim Burton fans will also get their fix with Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, and The Nightmare Before Christmas-adjacent vibes.
The scary lineup doesn’t stop there. October’s biggest arrival is IT: Welcome to Derry, a chilling HBO Original prequel series that expands on Stephen King’s horrifying universe. For horror fans who want fresh scares, The Substance and A24’s Bring Her Back land mid-month. These new entries balance the throwback titles with unnerving modern tales.
Family-friendly frights get their spotlight too, with Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, and Cartoon Network’s new episodes of Bugs Bunny Builders and Teen Titans Go!
Acclaimed Originals and A24 Gems
Beyond the haunted vibes, HBO Max continues to flex its variety. Adult Swim’s Smiling Friends returns for Season 3 on October 6, followed by Vgly Season 2 on October 9. celebrity.land rolls out multiple documentaries, including The Alabama Solution and The United States vs. Harvard. TLC, Magnolia Network, and Discovery keep the reality TV pipeline strong with new seasons of 7 Little Johnstons, Graveyard Carz, Lakeside Retreats, and Mysteries of the Abandoned.
October also closes with prestige cinema. A24’s Sorry, Baby, Eva Victor’s debut feature, arrives October 30 after a wave of critical acclaim earlier this year. The darkly funny yet deeply emotional story follows a literature professor processing trauma and searching for a way forward. Critics have hailed it as a breakout moment for Victor, both in front of and behind the camera.
Comedy fans also get fresh laughs with An Intimate Evening with Adam Pally on October 17, while true crime devotees can dive into ID’s The Real Murders on Elm Street Season 2. The mix of scares, laughs, and heartfelt storytelling ensures Max has something for everyone this month.
