STARZPLAY’s October 2025 horror lineup features four chilling new premieres and cult classics just in time for the Halloween scare season.
DUBAI: Just in time for Halloween, STARZPLAY, the leading SVOD platform in the MENA region, has rolled out a terrifying new slate of horror and thriller titles throughout October 2025. Whether you’re into haunted houses, psychological suspense, supernatural forces, or classic slashers, this year’s collection offers a scream-worthy binge for every horror fan.
The new content lineup features four brand-new horror film premieres, each launching on STARZPLAY across key dates this month. First up is Abraham’s Boys (streaming from October 17), where vampire lore meets family trauma as Abraham Van Helsing relocates his sons to the U.S., only to face new dangers from an old past. Thanksgiving (streaming October 21) dives into slasher territory when a Black Friday tragedy awakens a masked killer in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
From October 24, the slow-burning psychological thriller Other explores grief and surveillance horror as Alice returns to a haunted family home. The final fright arrives on Halloween night with The Ritual (October 31), featuring Al Pacino as a priest confronting an exorcism with global stakes.
Beyond the premieres, STARZPLAY also brings a host of cult favourites and fan-favourite horror hits to the platform. These include The Grudge, Boogeyman, Oddity, The Ghost Within, Rosario, The Painted, Cabin Fever, Deliver Us, Insidious: The Red Door, and The Pope’s Exorcist – all available to stream now.
For thrill-seekers looking beyond the horror genre, STARZPLAY has also premiered new October titles such as Clear Cut (streaming since October 3) – a survival thriller – and The Surfer (October 10), a tense psychological drama.
Ongoing series add depth to the month’s entertainment offering. The mystery-horror series FROM (Seasons 1 & 2) continues to intrigue viewers with its eerie town that traps its residents in an endless nightmare. Meanwhile, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon reaches its gripping Season 3 finale on October 20.
Fans of true crime and adventure will also find fresh content with The Gold Season 2, returning to unravel the fallout from the Brink’s-Mat gold heist. On the animation front, Iyanu (Season 1) delivers a mystical story of a teenage orphan discovering divine powers in a supernatural African saga.
From jump-scares to deep psychological thrills, STARZPLAY’s October horror slate promises a spine-tingling watchlist that’ll carry viewers right through Halloween – with something to spook every kind of viewer.
