1. In the Tall Grass

What could go wrong?
Where to watch: Netflix (Oct. 4)
2. Into the Dark: Uncanny Annie
Need a good Friday night fright? Might we recommend the Halloween episode of Into the Dark titled "Uncanny Annie," which follows college students — played by Adelaide Kane, Georgie Flores, and Paige McGhee— who find a mystery board game and decide to play.
Turns out, this game is haunted by a little girl named Annie. Think Jumanji mixed with The Ring.
Where to watch: Hulu (Oct. 4)
3. The Forest of Love
More of a thriller than scary movie, this Japanese film follows a con-man and a would-be film crew who force themselves into the lives of two grief-stricken young women, and according to the synopsis, "nothing is as it seems."
Where to watch: Netflix (Oct. 11)
Continuing on with international films, the Spanish Netflix original film La Influencia, which translates to The Influence, takes you to the childhood of Sara (Maggie Civantos), who is tasked with taking care of her comatose mom alongside her sister, Alicia (Manuela Vellés). Too bad a "dark force" from Sara's past is back — and threatening her child.
