Where To Watch ‘Clayface’: The DCU’s First Horror Movie Was Co-Written by Mike Flanagan
✦ Edited and fact-checked by Randy Harward, our Entertainment Editor with over 27 years covering film and television.
Gotham’s newest monster is pure body horror
“Clayface” takes the DC Universe somewhere it hasn’t gone before: full-on body horror. Directed by James Watkins from a screenplay by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, the film follows Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries), a rising Gotham actor who turns to a fringe scientist after a gangster disfigures his face, and comes out of the experiment made of living clay. It opens exclusively in theaters Oct. 23, 2026, and as a Warner Bros. and DC Studios release, its eventual subscription streaming home is expected to be HBO Max (although no announcement has been made). Until then, our picks for the best on-demand streaming services can help you fill out the rest of your spooky-season watchlist.

Where to watch “Clayface” FAQ
Is "Clayface" on Prime or Netflix?
Not yet. "Clayface" is playing only in theaters for now. Warner Bros. films usually show up as digital rentals on Prime Video once their theatrical run winds down, and there's no announced Netflix release.
Is "Clayface" on Prime or Hulu?
Neither carries it as a subscription title. It isn't part of Hulu's library, and on Prime Video, expect it as a digital rental or purchase after it leaves theaters rather than as part of a Prime membership.
Can I watch "Clayface" for free?
No. There's no free or ad-supported way to watch "Clayface" right now, since it's a theatrical exclusive. Once it reaches a streaming service, you'll need a subscription to that service to watch it.
Do I need HBO Max to watch "Clayface"?
Not right now. You just need a movie ticket. After its theatrical run, you'll be able to rent or buy it digitally, and HBO Max is expected to become its subscription streaming home, where it would join the rest of the DC Universe catalog.
