Every October for the past few years, there have been at least 150 horror movies on Peacock, and the selection is surprisingly well-curated. With nearly 20 horror and thriller series—including “Darknet”, “Hysteria!”, and “Teacup”—Peacock becomes like a mini-Screambox. Check out some of the franchises and series on the service:
- Camp Crystal Lake series (premieres Oct. 15)
- Phantasm franchise (except the third one)
- TV series like “Darknet”, “Hysteria!”, and “Teacup”
Your list of recommended horror movies on Peacock in October 2026 begins with a werewolf movie (“Ginger Snaps”) then abruptly veers into the first of four themed weekends with a three-pack of vampire movies. Other themed weekends cover Universal monsters, the Paranormal Activity series, and a binge-watch of the highly anticipated Friday the 13th prequel series “Camp Crystal Lake.” In between, look for home invasion horror, slashers, zombies, and more!
