Finally, we made it – it’s October, friends. If the weather can get back to normal and feel like fall, we can finally say we’ve officially entered the cozy season. Bring the couch to embrace the puddles and horror movies! Grab some hot cocoa and binge-watch new episodes! The post-Olympic lull is over, and Netflix is about to hit the big time, with a plethora of family-friendly movies and shows set to hit the streamer in October.
from Bad Guys: Haunted Heist (October 3) to Season 2 Jurassic World: Chaos Theory (October 17) There’s more, and the streaming options are as plentiful as candy and will fill your kid’s pumpkin bucket in no time. While parents will find plenty of horror movies to watch after their kids have a nighttime meltdown, Netflix also offers a whole slate of “less scary” titles perfect for a scary movie night with the whole family. Don’t forget, Netflix Family always has tons of fun activities to make your streaming sessions more interactive – from DIY costume ideas to “unforgettable fun” free activity printables.
