HBO Max added 21 new horror movies this October — here's the 2 classics (and 1 guilty pleasure) I'm watching first

October is finally here, and the best streaming platforms are duking it out for the honor of scaring our pants off this evening. Max just added a whopping 21 horror movies into its library to celebrate the spooky season. Sorting through all those new options can be overwhelming, which is why I'm taking this chance to spotlight which new horror movies on HBO Max are worth you're time.

Whether you're in the mood for high-art psychological dread or peak 2000s slasher mayhem, at least one of these picks is sure to tickle your pickle. So if you don't want to waste half your movie night scrolling endlessly for something to watch, start with these three standout titles — two horror masterpieces and one delightfully cheesy crossover that's close to my heart.

For more recommendations on what to watch, check out everything new on HBO Max in October.

Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s best-selling novel is arguably the gold standard of psychological horror. Jack Nicholson delivers a career-defining performance as Jack Torrance, an aspiring writer and recovering alcoholic who uproots his family to the isolated and conspicuously haunted Overlook Hotel. His wife (Shelley Duvall) and young son (Danny Lloyd) are less than thrilled by the move, especially after weird stuff starts happening and a winter storm traps the family in the hotel right as Jack really starts to lose his marbles.

Why it's a must-watch: Nicholson's descent into madness begs to be revisited, continuing to unsettle even if you've seen it a million times.
