Here’s everything coming to Amazon Prime Video in October
The streamer is gearing up for spooky season with I Know What You Did Last Summer and "Welcome to the Blumhouse" features
Aux News Amazon
For the upcoming Halloween season, Amazon Prime Video has some horrifying (both in a scary way and in a “this looks bad” way) offerings. On October 15, James Wan’s remake of the ‘90s teen thriller I Know What You Did Last Summer arrives as a new batch of teenagers have a murderous secret to hide. The now annual “Welcome to the Blumhouse” film series kicks off with a classic vampire flick from the horror specialists. In Black As Night, a resourceful and vengeful teenage girl spends her summer battling vampires terrorizing New Orleans. It’s similar to the reboot of another Sarah Michelle Gellar-led ‘90s teen classic—Buffy The Vampire Slayer—that never came to be.
If you’re looking to watch something which features an older crowd there’s Bingo Hell, which follows a senior citizen as she fights to protect her beloved neighborhood from an evil force that’s taken over the glitz and glamoured bingo hall. You gotta love bingo balls spelling out “You lose” on the floor as a horrified grandma looks on. Bingo Hell is just one of the geriatric-centric horror flicks coming to Amazon Prime Video in October. Straight from the retirement home, The Manor (from you guessed it—Blumhouse!) follows Judith Albright, who after a stroke reluctantly moves into a historic nursing home where she becomes convinced a supernatural force is killing the residents.
Finally, the last of Blumhouse’s spooky offerings is Madres, starring Elpidia Carrillo and Tenoch Huerta, who play a Mexican-American couple expecting their first child. The two decide to move to a migrant farming community in ‘70s California, where strange symptoms and terrifying visions threaten their budding family.

I’m annoyed that Amazon seemingly doesn’t give out the What’s Leaving list anymore. They also don’t have a page for it in the app that I’ve found, unlike Hulu and Criterion Channel. Movies are always disappearing from the service before I get the chance to watch them.
The “What’s Leaving” sections are way more valuable to me. I’m an unmotivated person. I need deadlines.
Absolutely. The number of movies that I’ve added to one watchlist or another and never actually watched has to be huge. And that’s with me watching a ton of movies over the last few years.
It’s basically how I use Criterion’s channel, I look at what’s leaving and say “Oh, yeah, I haven’t seen Blow Out yet”.
It seems like stuff leaves and comes back to Amazon much more frequently than other streaming services. Like, it seems like the Bond movies are basically on a 3 months on, 3 months off schedule.
I have no empirical data to back up this impression, though.
That sounds right to me too. Though certain movies like the Bond movies seem to be mirrored on Hulu. They’ll leave and be added back to both services at the same time.
Elpidia Carrillo played the only survivor other than Schwarzenegger in the original Predator Madres is a 2021 movie. So her character is expecting her first child at the age of 60?
Deutschland ‘83? I hope this means that the other seasons will follow at some point (I believe it was ‘86 and ‘89)? I’d enjoyed the hell out of ‘83 but never caught the others.
Same. Does this mean they won’t be on Hulu anymore?
I liked 83 a lot but couldn’t get into 86
Same, I didn’t consciously stop watching 86, but the gaps between me watching episodes got longer and longer. I’ve still never finished it.
I feel that “I Know What You Did Last Summer, Season 1″ is being awfully optimistic.
Fortunately for it, shows on streaming services need buzz a lot more than viewers.
Of course the best Halloween movies will show up on November 1st because Amazon wants Prime members to pay for the good shit, just like the best Christmas movies come out on January 1st. I’m just going to start celebrating all my holidays a month late, take advantage of the movies and the sales.
I have no data to back this up but this is the only time since streaming services began and they publish these lists that I see “Bad News Bears” on it and it’s the fucking original for once!!!!! I am so excited, every single fucking time Bad New Bears is listed it’’s that remake with Billy Bob Thornton never the Walter Matthau one.
