The first full week of October is proving to be a big one for Netflix. This week, the streaming giant will be adding 13 new titles to its streaming library, which was already stocked full with new additions at the very beginning of the month. The new slate of content includes a total of nine Netflix original series, films and specials.
While this week marks just the first full week of the new month, and Halloween remains several weeks away, the new additions prove that spooky season is in full swing at the streaming platform. The new list of titles includes a number that are part of Netflix’s “Netflix and Chill” content lineup, a list of upcoming titles that are perfectly scream-worthy. The streamer is even making sure that younger viewers have some kid-friendly spooky content to help them celebrate Halloween.
