If you’re a horror fan like me, you’ll likely spend this October streaming scary movies to celebrate Halloween. You may even want to do a frightening double feature, as that has become quite a trend among audiences in recent years. However, you may not want to spend money to watch horror movies on costly streaming services like Netflix, Peacock, HBO Max, or Prime Video.

However, free ad-supported streaming services like Tubi have become major destinations for horror movie fans in recent years (just look at the new Terror on Tubi hub). Pluto TV, meanwhile, just announced a special Halloween lineup for Double Feature Fridays. The platform began this weekly movie night event back in August in partnership with Entertainment Tonight, and it will continue to expand Pluto TV’s lineup of scary films just in time for the spooky season.

What’s streaming on Double Feature Fridays this October?

Normally, Double Feature Fridays feature back-to-back screenings of fan-favorite films alongside indie movies making their free streaming debut. This October, Pluto TV will stream classic horror and thriller films, as well as new releases, based around a specific theme every Friday.

As a fan of all the modern classics scheduled for these double features, Pluto TV has set up some exciting Friday nights this October. Here are the films set for Double Feature Fridays this month:

• Friday, October 2: Kill Bill: Vol. 1 & Kill Bill: Vol. 2 + The Last Victim (All Revenge Thrillers With Fierce Women Out To Survive And Settle The Score)
• Friday, October 9: Smile + Rosario (Women Chasing Answers After Something Supernatural Latches On — And Won’t Let Go.)
• Friday, October 16: Jennifer’s Body + Vampires of the Velvet Lounge (Two Horror Movies With A Lot Of Bite! Both Put A Campy Spin On Seduction, Death, And Staying Young Forever…)
• Friday, October 23: A Quiet Place Part II + Diabolic (What Happens When You Can’t Outrun What’s Chasing You? One Family Has To Stay Silent To Survive. One Woman Has To Break Her Silence To Survive.)
• Friday, October 30: Scream (2022) + Sleepwalker (Horror Mysteries That Prove No Matter How Far You Run, The Past Always Catches Up.)

Pluto TV will air its Double Feature Fridays film every Friday at 8 p.m. EST on Pluto TV Spotlight, hosted by ET correspondent Emily Curl. These cinematic pairings will then join the platform’s Double Feature Fridays collection on demand.

However, audiences won’t just get to watch free movies on Pluto TV every Friday. These double features include a segment presenting behind-the-scenes footage and archival interviews regarding the movies being screened, courtesy of ET.

Since Pluto TV is free to use, you won’t need to sign up for an account in order to experience Double Feature Fridays this month. You’ll still have to watch both movies with some ad breaks, but that shouldn’t be too scary. You can access Pluto TV in your web browser or on devices like an Android/iOS phone, tablets, streaming sticks/boxes, and smart TVs.

If you’d rather not wait for Friday night to stream horror movies on Pluto TV, you’re in luck. The platform gives users free, 24/7 access to a variety of scary films. Available titles include Pet Sematary, From Dusk Till Dawn, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, The Fog, The Babadook, and Terrifier 2, to name a few.

All in all, Pluto TV’s Double Feature Fridays has given horror fans an event to put on their weekly schedules this October. Delivering classic and new films and exclusive content for free, Pluto TV has offered streamers a scary good deal while adding more exciting titles to its ever-growing digital library.
