Halloween 2016: 31 Movies to Stream on Netflix this October to Get You into the Spirit of the Season
One of my favorite things to do every October is to binge-watch as many horror and sci-fi movies as possible (something I can guarantee I’m not alone in doing), and for those of you with Netflix, the streaming service can be an invaluable resource this time of year, although I do remember a time when there were a lot more options than we get these days.
That being said, I culled Netflix's entire library and put together 31 great movie choices that will undoubtedly get you into a macabre mood to celebrate Halloween this year. Take a look at our Netflix list below, featuring one film for each day of October, and get ready to enjoy an entire month’s worth of fright-filled fun, courtesy of Netflix’s streaming database.

Attention classic movie freaks – Set your DVR for this Monday!!!!
Tod Browning (1880-1962) was a pioneering director who helped establish the horror film genre. Born in Louisville Kentucky, Browning ran away to join the circus at an early age which influenced his later career in Hollywood and echoes of those years can be found in many of his films. Though best known as the director of the first sound version of Dracula starring Bela Lugosi in 1931, Browning made his mark on cinema in the silent era with his extraordinary 10-film collaboration with actor Lon Chaney, the ‘Man of a Thousand Faces’. Despite the success of Dracula, and the boost it gave his career, Browning’s chief interest continued to lie not in films dealing with the supernatural but in films that dealt with the grotesque and strange, earning him the reputation as “the Edgar Allan Poe of the cinema”.

With worldwide hits such as Untouchable and Rust and Bone, French cinema is changing the way disabled people are portrayed on screen
This year's Paralympics in London did an extraordinary amount to change attitudes to disabled people. But cinema has been doing its bit too.
In March, Untouchable, the story of the relationship between a quadriplegic and his carer, became the highest-grossing film ever in a language other than English. It's now taken nearly £250m on a production budget of £7m, topping the box office charts in countries ranging from Switzerland and Spain to Germany and South Korea. It has also been selected as the French entry for the foreign-language Oscar.
A hot competitor for that honour was Rust and Bone, in which Marion Cotillard plays a double amputee. The film is still performing healthily in Britain's arthouses after winning the top prize at the London film festival.

Over the past few years, game publishers have been releasing franchise collections regularly in anticipation of new releases. It’s also a great way to capitalize on the success of past titles and give backlogged gamers a chance to catch up – sometimes with the addition of HD graphics in the case of franchises that started on the PS2. Ratchet & Clank, Journey, Killzone, Mass Effect, Devil May Cry and a slew of other titles (several of which are trilogies) all come home as compilations this year.
Now, Rovio gets its chance to dip into its past success and publish Angry Birds as a trilogy under Activision. Unlike some of the titles mentioned above, Angry Birds started on the iOS platform. While some players may have missed out on the laughable fun of destroying green pigs and monkeys with a bunch of pissed off birds, most people who have owned an iPhone,...
