Every Movie Coming to Max in October 2024

As a cinephile with a soft spot for both classic and modern films, I must say that this list is a treasure trove of cinematic delights! From the timeless epic “Lawrence of Arabia” to the chilling horror of “Poltergeist”, there’s something here for every film lover.

Max, previously recognized as HBO Max, stands out as a highly sought-after streaming platform for film and television fanatics alike. Upon its debut in 2020, it boasted an extensive library of titles in collaboration with HBO Now and WarnerMedia. To this day, Max continues to excite users by frequently adding new movies and TV series to its collection, typically on a monthly basis.

Max has unveiled its collection of movies scheduled for release in October 2024, featuring a lineup that includes installments from an iconic horror franchise and a beloved creature feature that continues to captivate audiences. To provide more insight into these enticing titles, we’re offering a comprehensive rundown of every film set to premiere on Max during October 2024.

A Nightmare on Elm Street Movies (1984-1989)

Streaming Oct. 1

The horror series known as “A Nightmare on Elm Street” is legendary, boasting Freddy Kruger’s chilling portrayal across all its films. It started in 1984 with the original “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” and since then, more than ten sequels have been released, including a few TV series spin-offs.

This October, I’m excited to invite you all to join me in revisiting the chilling world of the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” franchise. Starting from October 1st, we’ll be delving into the first five films: “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, “Freddy’s Revenge”, “Dream Warriors”, “The Dream Master”, and “The Dream Child”. If you’ve been holding off on diving into this iconic horror series, October 1st might just be the perfect moment for you to jump in.

Poltergeist (1982)

Streaming Oct. 1

As a movie aficionado, I had the chills watching Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper’s masterpiece, “Poltergeist.” This spine-tingling horror gem of the ’80s follows an ordinary Californian family who find themselves entangled in the terrifying aftermath when their daughter, Carol Anne (Heather O’Rourke), starts communicating with malevolent entities lurking in their very own television set.

The movie, featuring Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, and Dominique Dunne, was an unexpected Academy Awards nominee in 1983, given it’s a horror film. It is scheduled to be added to Max on October 1, 2024.

Gremlins (1984)

Streaming Oct. 1

Among the many motion pictures in cinema history, few match the delightful experience of watching “Gremlins”. Suitable for audiences of all ages, especially those who appreciate Christmas-themed horror films, this movie offers a unique blend of humor and suspense. The story revolves around Billy, played by Zach Galligan, a young fellow who receives an enigmatic pet as a gift from his dad. This pet comes with three crucial rules; if neglected, these could result in unexpected calamities.

In contrast, Billy disregards the rules by giving it water, feeding it after dark, and keeping it under bright lights. Will Billy manage to handle the miniature green creatures wreaking havoc in his town and multiplying as time goes on? The classic movie “Gremlins” will be streamable on Max starting October 1, 2024.

Salem’s Lot

Streaming Oct. 3

The upcoming movie titled “Salem’s Lot” is a chilling supernatural horror production based on Stephen King’s 1975 novel with the same name. Gary Dauberman takes on both writing and directing duties for this highly anticipated fall release of 2024. In the star-studded cast, you’ll find Lewis Pullman, Makenzie Leigh, William Sadler, along with several other notable actors.

Twenty-five years ago, I left Jerusalem’s Lot, Maine, as a young boy, yet the haunting memories of that place have always lingered. Now, as an author seeking inspiration for my next novel, I find myself drawn back to this quaint town. As days turned into weeks, however, I began to uncover a chilling secret: an ancient evil has been slowly transforming the residents of Jerusalem’s Lot into creatures of the night. Can I confront this unknown terror and save my hometown before it’s too late? Salem’s Lot will premiere on Max on October 3, 2024.
