Late Night with the Devilhas been described as ‘Rosemary’s BabymeetsNetwork’, and I can’t wait to watch it on Hulu this October. After the death of his wife, late night show host Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian) faces plummeting reviews from critics after serving as a trusted show for insomniacs. In a desperate attempt to resuscitate the show’s reputation, he invites a possessed young girl (Ingrid Torelli) to guest star on Halloween night, not knowing that he could unleash a powerful evil spirit into the homes of viewers around the country.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
RT Score:80%Age rating:RLength:95 minutesDirector:Jim SharmanArriving on:October 1
While it’s not a horror movie per se, it’s an iconic cult classic perfect for October viewing – so we simply couldn’t leave it out. Based on the stage show by Richard O’Brien, newly engaged couple Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon) find themselves with a flat tire in the middle of a storm. They come across a mansion for shelter run by scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry) along with a plethora of quirky characters. When Frank-N-Furter reveals his latest creation, a muscle man named Rocky (Peter Hinwood), the two learn that there’s more to his plan than meets the eye.
