Farewell September. Our time together has come to an end and now it is time to get into that sweater weather vibe. Pumpkin spice lattes, horror movies and all the joys Fall has to offer before the storm that is the holiday season.

Normally, this is the time of year where Hollywood gives us their best spooky offerings in theatres and awards contenders as many fall film festivals put forth the finest of 2020, but it seems many will be opting for indoor viewings from their couches or beds.

HBO Max is here to help with a wide variety of TV and film and another wave of the best that Warner Bros. has to offer.

Take a look at everything arriving and leaving HBO Max in October 2020 below:
