Streaming, 4K Releases Join October Theatrical Slate

October 2025’s entertainment slate combines a surge in physical‑media horror reissues and extensive streaming catalog additions with a varied theatrical lineup. Sony and Arrow are issuing notable 4K/SteelBook releases—including I Know What You Did Last Summer and John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness—while Peacock and Netflix are filling October with classics and modern fright fare such as Scream, The Omen, Ghostbusters, The Ring, Cobweb and other indie shocks. Netflix and Amazon are also spotlighting war and crime dramas, and the Godfather films are slated to leave Amazon Prime. Theatrical offerings favor genre variety over pure horror, led by wide releases like TRON: Ares, Roofman and Kiss of the Spider Woman alongside titles such as Play Dirty. Industry politics are reshaping content choices, with studios reworking or shelving projects — for example, Pixar has altered Elio and Apple TV+ pulled The Savant.
