Happy Death Day (2017)

Happy Death Day Trailer #1 (2017) | Movieclips Trailers

Combining the premise of Groundhog Day with a horror movie felt almost inevitable, but Happy Death Day is much better than it has any right to be. The film tells the story of a college student who finds herself living the day of her death over and over. Most of the time, she dies at the hands of a mysterious killer who she must work to unmask.

At the same time, she also needs to figure out how she wound up in a time loop to begin with, and what it might take to break out of it. Featuring a hilarious, hugely charismatic central performance from Jessica Rothe, Happy Death Day and its sequel are both fun and just the right amount of terrifying.

You can watch Happy Death Day on Peacock.

It Follows (2014)

It Follows Official Trailer 1 (2015) - Horror Movie HD

A horror movie that feels genuinely terrifying from the moment it starts, It Follows tells the story of a teenager who discovers that she has inherited a supernatural virus that will follow her and eventually kill her. After she convinces her friend that the curse she’s facing is real, they band together to stop it before it’s too late.

It Follows has the kind of set pieces that most horror movies can only aspire to, and its invocation of a malevolent force that simply follows you without rest is the kind of thing that will keep you looking behind you the next time you take a walk.

You can watch It Follows on Peacock.

The Hotel Transylvania Series (2012-)

At first blush, it might not seem like there’s much worth recommending about the Hotel Transylvania franchise other than a fun central performance from Adam Sandler. The films follow the goings-on at a hotel for famed horror creatures, but the reason these movies are worth watching is because of the inventive animation, which makes the movies into genuine comedies. These movies are definitely targeted primarily at children, but you’ll find that the entire franchise has things that viewers of all ages can enjoy.

You can watch the Hotel Transylvania series on Peacock.

A dirtied James Bond stands on a road.

Last weekend, Tom Hardy said goodbye to the symbiote in Venom: The Last Dance. Billed as the final film in the Venom trilogy, The Last Dance opened to a franchise-low $51 million domestic box office haul. Still, that's a good opening weekend, especially considering these films have garnered negative reviews. Who would have thought The Last Dance would open better than Joker: Folie à Deux in the U.S.?

Zoe Saldana holds a gun in Lioness.

Thanks to some late-arriving shows in October, November is off to a healthy start in terms of original series. The Paramount+' action thriller Lioness is back for season 2, while the Disney+ show Wizards Beyond Waverly Place resurrects one of Disney Channel's most beloved live-action fantasy shows. Netflix also has some thrills of its own with The Diplomat season 2.

If you're in the mood for weekly shows like an old-school TV fan, then Hulu and FX's What We Do in the Shadows, Star Trek: Lower Decks on Paramount+, and the Apple TV+ dramedy Shrinking should keep you satisfied in the early weeks of November before even more new shows arrive.
