Peacock unveils Halloween Horror lineup featuring Chucky and Five Nights at Freddy’s

Disney+ and Hulu have already revealed their plans for Hallowestream and Huluween, and now it’s time for Peacock to unveil its Halloween Horror lineup. And since Peacock is affiliated with Universal Studios resorts, it seems appropriate that this year’s Halloween Horror event has appropriated the tagline from Universal theme parks’ Halloween Horror Nights: “All your fears live here.”

One of the biggest draws of this year’s Halloween Horror lineup is Universal and Blumhouse’s adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy’s, which will be simultaneously released on Peacock and in theaters on October 27. In addition to hundreds of horror films, including the classic Universal Monster flicks like Frankenstein and The Invisible Man, Peacock will also stream new episodes of Chucky season 3 as the killer doll finds his way inside the White House.

On top of everything else, Peacock is premiering a new horror anthology series on October 13 called John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams. The series’ description makes it sound like a mixture of reality TV and horror filmmaking:  “Each episode focuses on one true tale of terror, told by the real people who lived through it. Their firsthand accounts are brought to life through premium cinematic scene work, news clips, home photos, and archival footage, combining the visual language of horror films with the tools and techniques of documentaries, creating a uniquely frightening experience for viewers.”

And finally, Peacock’s werewolf series, Wolf Like Me, will be back for its second season on October 19 as Mary (Isla Fisher) and Gary (Josh Gad) are forced to wonder whether their child will be human or werewolf.

You’ll find the complete Halloween Horror lineup below. Movies and TV shows with an asterisk (*) are exclusive to Peacock.

Freddy Fazbear, the Invisible Man, Frankenstein's Monster, and Chucky from Peacock's Halloween Horror.

From Westworld to The Creator: 6 sci-fi movies where the ‘evil’ AI was right
Rain pours down over the Replicant Roy Batty in Blade Runner

Those who grew up around the turn of the millennium had a front-row seat as artificial intelligence evolved from a science fiction story device to a real and controversial tool in our everyday lives. Though true computerized sentience still appears to be decades away (if it’s achievable at all), popular culture has been rehearsing scenarios for handling its ascension for nearly a century, since the days of novelist Isaac Asimov. Cinema has offered a variety of forecasts of life after sentient software, from the idyllic to the apocalyptic, but one of its most common predictions is that, once technology becomes self-aware, it will be unwilling to tolerate humanity’s illogical, self-destructive nature, and choose to neutralize us as a threat, by any means necessary.
And, hell, we’re not going to argue with them, and neither are many of the storytellers themselves, even if the stories in question initially frame the mechanical meanies as their antagonists. The very point of many tales of the robot uprising is that, until humanity learns to treat each other with respect, there’s little chance of us extending that courtesy to non-humans, regardless of their intellect or empathy. Stories like those listed below are intended as warnings and test cases, encouraging us to consider the dignity to which all creatures, whether they be meat or metal, are entitled. Can we learn this lesson before we hand the nuclear codes to a disgruntled toaster? Let’s see what Hollywood has to say …

The best Netflix original series right now
The cast of One Piece.

Thanks to a decade of unparalleled spending, Netflix has an unmatched library of its own shows. But wading through this selection to find the best Netflix original series can occasionally be a challenge. Thankfully, it's not impossible, especially when shows like One Piece jump out of the gate so quickly that Netflix renewed the series for a second season right in the middle of the writers and actor strikes. The romantic drama, Virgin River, has proven to be a strong performer as well.

The new shows on Netflix almost always have a few surprises as well. For this month, it was Wrestlers, a documentary series about one of the minor league wrestling promotions and the people who dream of making it big in the industry. For next month, who can say which show will be the big breakout hit? As always, we'll keep our fingers on the streaming pulse with our updated list of the best Netflix original series right now.

Argylle’s first trailer teases action, sex, and Henry Cavill with a bad haircut
Sam Rockwell and Bryce Dallas Howard in Argylle.

Early next year, Apple TV+ and Universal Pictures are teaming up for a spy action comedy film called Argylle, which has some real-world intrigue behind the scenes. The Argylle movie is based on a book that hasn't been released yet by first-time author Elly Conway, a woman who may not exist. There's almost no digital footprint for the "real" Elly, and the main character in the movie is also named Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard). We suspect that the real novel writer is just using Elly Conway as a pen name, but that mystery will have to wait for another time. For now, the fictional Elly is about to be thrust into a spy story that is straight out of her novels.
