What to Watch on Netflix This October 2023
The spookiest season of the year is officially upon us! As the younger ones prep for Halloween parties, draw some costume inspirations from the cute and not-so-spooky vampires of I Woke Up A Vampire and Hotel Transylvania, or perhaps seek out your inner monster with The Sea Beast. Our Halloween collection is the perfect way to treat the family this Spooky Season.
For mums and dads, we’re also creepin’ it real this October with crime documentary The Devil on Trial, which has inspired countless horror shows and films, and The Fall of The House of Usher, a brand new spine-chilling series from master of modern horror Mike Flanagan.
The long list of Halloween traditions like parties and horrors may not be for all, especially for the little ones. But fret not! They’re still in for some fun with curious kitty Oggy Oggy from Oggy Oggy: Season 3, the fa-boo-lous princesses in Princess Power: Season 2, and the magnificent creatures of the past in Life on Our Planet.
If you’re a fan of Roald Dahl, you’re in for a treat as The Twits, an animated adaptation of the renowned author’s children book of the same name is coming to Netflix in 2025.
In addition, check out what’s new for preschoolers, including Hot Wheels Let’s Race, Dee & Friends in Oz, Mighty Monsterwheelies, Gabby’s Dollhouse, Not Quite Narwhal, and many more!
