Prime Video's Halloween offerings

House of Spoils (October 3)

First up, and to kick off the month, we have House of Spoils. Releasing on October 3 and starring Ariana DeBose, Barbie Ferreira and Arian Moayed, House of Spoils follows an ambitious chef (Ariana DeBose) who opens her first restaurant – a farm-to-table affair on a remote estate – where she battles kitchen chaos, a dubious investor, crushing self doubts… and the powerful spirit of the estate's previous owner who threatens to sabotage her at every turn.

Killer Cakes (October 8)

Next up on the Amazon Originals front, we've got Killer Cakes. The show releases on October 8 and is a "one-of-a-kind competition show where bakers with terrifying skills attempt to win some of the most frightening challenges ever produced for television." Contestants will work with the best horror special effects artists in Hollywood to unleash their twisted imaginations and create cakes so disgusting, so disturbing, and so realistic, it’s the stuff of nightmares. The best of both worlds!

Amazon Prime members can also go back to the classics to get into the right mood for Halloween: with all-time favorites like American Horror Story and The Twilight Zone, there's no way you won't find something to watch. And you know what? Here's a free trial for Prime – our treat.
