We might not end the month by trick or treating, but the spirit of Halloween is alive and well in October’s TV premieres. Netflix follows up the breakout success of The Haunting Of Hill House with The Haunting Of Bly Manor; Hulu beckons viewers to its own bloody anthology series with Monsterland; the hunt for the worst of humanity begins on Helstrom; The Walking Dead tries to reanimate the franchise with World Beyond; hell, even Patrick Dempsey’s chasing Devils. Chills can also be found in this month’s non-genre fare, including The Salisbury Poisonings, and NeXt and Soulmates, where technology is the real terror. As for thrills, The Undoing and The Good Lord Bird deliver them in spades.
