Are you brave enough to hit the play button? Several steaming platforms are serving up thrills, chills, and kills for the Halloween season, and we’ve got a guide to the frightful offerings below. There’s streaming content for all ages, so unless we’re dead wrong, everyone will find something to spook and amuse them. (But if it’s the cost of streaming subscriptions that’s truly scary, there’s Halloween content to be enjoyed on linear TV, too: Check out our guide to Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween.)
