A well-known horror movie titled Friday the 13th set the stage for the extensive Jason Vorhees franchise. This film centers around a group of summer camp counselors planning to revive an old, eerie summer camp that carries a dark past. The camp was shut down following a tragic drowning incident in 1957 and the gruesome murders of two counselors the year after.

Ever since then, whispers about the camp’s troubled history have lingered and given pause to those who approach the lake. Despite these eerie tales, a band of teenagers remains unfazed. Yet, as they gear up for the summer reopening of the camp, each counselor mysteriously falls victim to an unidentified killer who could potentially be connected to the lake’s haunting lore. Stream Friday the 13th starting October 1.

28 Weeks Later, a follow-up to the iconic 2002 zombie movie titled 28 Days Later, unfolds several months after a deadly virus known as the Rage Virus ravaged Great Britain, nearly wiping out its entire population.

The narrative unfolds as a group of space station scientists unearth signs of alien life on Mars. However, the exhilaration from this groundbreaking discovery soon gives way to a horror unlike any other that anyone could have foreseen.

As the team embarks on their space station experiments, an unforeseen, rapidly advancing life form emerges as a potential hazard. Surprisingly intelligent and apparently responsible for the extinction of all Martian life, this entity now poses a threat not just to the scientists aboard but also to everyone back on Earth. Tune in on October 1.

Immediately after Esther’s arrival, Kate starts to think the girl may be cunning and emotionally scarred. John, though, doesn’t share her doubts. Consequently, Kate reaches out to the orphanage and finds out about Esther’s complex and enigmatic background. As she delves further into the matter, she comes to suspect that Esther might not be as pure as she seems. Orphan premieres on October 1.
