Today marks the start of Max’s “No Sleep October” featuring a library of movies and shows for Halloween and horror fans alike. In addition to some old favorites, the streaming services adds three new films only available on Max. First, enter the world of Stephen King’s most celebrated novels, Salem’s Lot. When author Ben Mears returns to his childhood home, he discovers his hometown has an infestation of vampires. Next, the disappearance of a eight-year-old girl start to link together in Caddo Lake. Finally, M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film, Trap, makes its streaming debut.
But this month is not all about the screams and chills. If you ever wondered what happens on the set of your favorite superhero movies, The Franchise answers the question. Follow the crew of an failing franchise trying to regain their relevance in Hollywood. Speaking of Hollywood, A24’s MaXXXine makes its streaming premiere as well.
