It's that joyful period of the year when spooky season overlaps with cozy couch-potato season, which means there's no better time to settle in for a good movie, especially one that'll raise your hair and rack your nerves. Prime Video's got plenty of those — the Amazon streaming service welcomed a whopping 136 new movie titles on October 1 alone — so there's no shortage of fun and freaky flicks for you to enjoy this weekend.

For starters, there's an explosive meet-up between two of cinema's greatest monsters—Godzilla and King Kong—in "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire," which arrived on the streamer on October 4. If you're into all things witchy, there's the fittingly titled horror-mystery "The Witch," featuring a young Anya Taylor-Joy in her feature film debut. And while not a traditional scary movie, the historical epic "There Will Be Blood" does feature a truly fearsome lead performance by the great Daniel Day-Lewis.

So instead of wasting your weekend trying to find something half-decent to watch, we've done the dirty work of rounding up three movies you should check out on Prime Video now.

Cinema's tallest titans team up for this fierce follow-up to "Godzilla vs. Kong" from writer-director Adam Wingard. The sequel finds the giant ape encountering more of his species in the Hollow Earth —specifically, the sadistic dictator Skar King, who is dead set on invading Earth's surface. To thwart this new foe, Kong is forced to form an uneasy alliance with his fearsome former enemy Godzilla to ensure the survival of both their kinds and the human race.
