The movies leaving Hulu this month
It's officially October and that means it's time to start planning your Halloween costume, decorating your house with all things autumn, and, of course, watching your favorite scary movies. But is there anything more terrifying than settling in for a movie night only to realize that your go-to fright flick is no longer available to stream?
To help you prepare for the worst, Stacker used data from Reelgood to compile a list of all the movies leaving Hulu this October. There are many reasons why a film might leave Hulu—the rights may no longer be available, or its popularity may not justify the cost of licensing, for example. This month, 24 movies will be signing off Hulu and that includes some spooky season favorites.
If you're a classic horror movie fan, you may want to start planning your "Omen" franchise viewing weekend before time runs out. The original 1976 film starring Gregory Peck signs off Hulu on Oct. 31 as do three other sequels, 1978's "Damien: Omen II," 1981's "The Final Conflict," and 1991's "Omen IV: The Awakening."
Some more recent frightening films are also leaving the streaming service: 2023's "The Boogeyman," based on Stephen King's 1973 short story, is gone as of Oct. 4, and 2017's "My Friend Dahmer," about the teen years of notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, will disappear on Oct. 14.
Meanwhile, if you're looking for something that's appropriate for getting the whole family in the Halloween spirit, there's "Monster Family." The 2017 animated movie is about a mother, father, daughter, and son who get turned into the characters they dress up as for a Halloween costume party: a vampire, Frankenstein's monster, a mummy, and a werewolf. You have until Oct. 8 to watch it on Hulu for a family Halloween movie night.
Read on to see the full list of movies leaving Hulu in October. There are also supplementary insights from IMDb on each movie's director, cast, genre, and runtime, as well as user ratings. Start planning your spooky season viewing sessions accordingly!
