Amazingly, a Max original movie is coming in early October that wasn’t sacrificed in the name of a corporate tax break for Warner Bros. Discovery. The remake of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot will arrive on October 3, and we’ll finally get to see if it lives up to the original film. Additionally, HBO and Max are loading up on horror flicks just in time for Halloween. These movies include Maxxxine, Doctor Sleep, six of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, Misery, Poltergeist, and both adaptations of Stephen King’s It.
There are also some HBO and Max originals throughout the month, including The Franchise, a spoof about the making of a superhero movie. The animated series, Gremlins: The Wild Batch, is also back for its second season, just as both of the Gremlins movies have returned to Max after some time in the WB vault. Sports lovers can dive into NHL and NBA games on Max, as well as the other streaming events.
