New on Peacock in October 2024: Halloween Horror, Teacup & Hysteria! - Plus Despicable Me 4

With creepy new exclusives and frightening familiar movie favorites, prepare to stay scared all month long.

By Benjamin Bullard

Peacock is brewing up a cauldron of spooky scares as the autumn calendar flips over to October, bringing tons of fresh fright flicks and creepy new originals onto the platform to guarantee your Halloween streaming stays positively ghoulish all month long. 

There’s a pair of all-new Peacock-original series debuting in October that’ll definitely dare you to face your fears: From horror-movie mastermind James Wan (Saw, The Conjuring) comes freaky new series Teacup, a “genre-bending blend of horror, mystery, and drama,” as Wan himself puts it, that “goes beyond chills and thrills and holds up a mirror to humanity, exploring the darkness that resides within us all.” 

Teacup arrives only on Peacock Oct. 10.

Also screaming onto Peacock this month is Hysteria!, a period-set fright fest that takes a wild, heavy metal-fueled tour of the Satanic panic craze that infected many an occult-distressed small town in the 1980s. Starring Julie Bowen (Modern Family), Nolan North (Uncharted), Elijah Richardson (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), Milly Shapiro (Hereditary), Allison Scagliotti (Warehouse 13), Bruce Campbell (Ash vs Evil Dead) and many more, it’s a fun-but-frightening blast from the horror genre’s nostalgic past that fuses supernatural scares with tons of teenage terror. 

Hysteria! Premieres exclusively on Peacock beginning Oct. 18.

The horror thrills on Peacock this month reach even deeper into the genre’s big-screen past, with October bringing an enormous slate of Halloween-season movie titles both fresh from theaters and familiar as spooky-season rites of passage.

Recent chillers The Mouse Trap (Oct. 1) and Blackwater Lane (Oct. 4) kick things off by making their streaming premieres only on Peacock, while a slew of scary favorites — from the downright terrifying (I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Fly, The Craft, Jennifer’s Body) to the whimsical and family-friendly (Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, the Harry Potter film franchise) — all arrive on the bird app just in time for Halloween.

Beyond this month’s streaming screams, there’s oodles more to binge on Peacock in October, including the exclusive streaming premiere of coming-of-age comedy Dìdi (Oct. 4) and a royal reality check when Queens Court returns for its second season (Oct. 6). Peacock’s also the place to catch the premiere of new original docuseries Reggaeton: The Sound that Conquered the World (Oct. 3), plus the spellbinding real-life mystery of Anatomy of Lies (Oct. 15), which follows the Hollywood story of Grey’s Anatomy writer Elisabeth Finch to some extraordinarily surprising places. 

Last but not least, Oct. 31 marks the hugely anticipated Peacock streaming premiere of Despicable Me 4, even as the Universal Pictures and Illumination animated hit inches ever closer to a mind-boggling billion-dollar haul at the box office. From Shrek to The Croods to Kung Fu Panda 4 and more, it’s just one of the many animated greats available on the platform this month — all in celebration of DreamWorks Animation’s 30th anniversary.
