Horror films aren’t only for October, but if you’re going to release a reboot of Clive Barker’s seminal, franchise-launching, freaky S&M, goopy body horror classic Hellraiser, when else are you going to release it but in the run-up to Halloween? Hulu is doing just that, dropping director David Bruckner’s reimagining of Barker’s original story “The Hellbound Heart” (which inspired his own 1987 film) on Oct. 7. There’s no full trailer yet, but the V/H/S and The Signal filmmaker will no doubt look to put his own gruesome spin on the material—if only by casting a woman (Sense8's Jamie Clayton) as Pinhead.
The streamer also has a lot of older and more recent horror and horror-adjacent films on tap for the month, including Fright Night, Let Me In, the Sixth Sense, Annabelle: Creation, Matriarch (a new spooky thriller starring Emma Roberts), and David Cronenberg’s Cannes sensation Crimes of the Future (which is really more of a body horror comedy, truth be told).
Here’s everything else coming to (and leaving) Hulu in October.
