Paramount+ is getting ready for Halloween with a massive selection of horror movies and TV shows, including the streaming debut of Scary Movie (2026), the Scream and Friday the 13th franchises, A Quiet Place, Paranormal Activity, Pet Sematary, Dexter, Yellowjackets, and more. The streamer has unveiled its “Peak Screaming” Halloween collection, bringing together slashers, supernatural horror, creature features, post-apocalyptic thrillers, horror comedies, and genre classics throughout September and October.
The biggest new addition arrives today, September 3, with Scary Movie (2026) making its streaming debut on Paramount+ alongside an Extended Cut. The new Scary Movie brings back the franchise’s “Core Four” and takes aim at modern horror trends.
