Well, this is disappointing.
Netflix has revealed their full slate of titles set to begin streaming this October – and horror is pretty close to nonexistent. If you’re big on television shows, you’ll be able to catch a bunch of series ranging from “American Horror Story: Hotel” to Netflix’s revival of “Black Mirror”. Movies, however, I’m afraid that you’re going to have to dig into your own collection…

Sphere (1998)
“When psychologist Norman Goodman (Dustin Hoffman) wrote a report for the government on how to deal with extraterrestrial life forces, he didn’t expect his recommendations to be used. Now that a secret government agency is investigating what may be an alien spaceship that has been discovered partially buried on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, Norman finds that the plan he outlined is being put into effect and that the team he named in his report has been assembled.”
The Uninvited (2009)

“Black Mirror: Season 3 (Part 1) “
“Created and written by Brooker, “Black Mirror” taps into our collective unease with the modern world and each stand-alone episode is a suspenseful tale exploring themes of contemporary techno-paranoia. The series, which premiered on Channel 4 in 2011 and aired for two seasons, has received an international Emmy Award, a Peabody Award, a Rose D’Or and been nominated for a BAFTA.”
