Henry and More Brains!: Screambox’s October Lineup

Screambox recently revealed the films joining the horror streaming service in October. They include horror comedies like Shaky Shivers and HeBGB TV, the documentary More Brains! A Return to the Living Dead, and a classic fave Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, inspired by real-life serial killers Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole.

But that’s just scratching the surface of what’s on Screambox this month. Let’s explore some of their featured titles, including the ones mentioned above, as well as other October highlights.

More Brains! – October 3

Screambox Exclusive

More Brains! A Return to the Living Dead joins Screambox’s extensive collection of horror documentaries. It explores the creation of The Return of the Living Dead. Cast and crew interviewed include stars Clu Gulager, James Karen, Don Calfa, Thom Mathews, and Linnea Quigley, Night of the Living Dead co-creator John A. Russo, and the final interview with director Dan O’Bannon.

HeBGB TV – October 13

Screambox Exclusive

The horror-comedy HeBGB TV has been described as a “hyperactive anthology about a multidimensional cable box,” and has drawn comparisons to Pee Wee’s Playhouse, Goosebumps, Ricky & Morty, and I Think You Should Leave. (It looks totally trippy!)

Shaky Shivers – October 17

Screambox Original

Embark on a campy night of werewolves, zombies, and ice cream in the ’80s-inspired directorial debut of Fast & Furious franchise favorite Sung Kang.

Door – October 24

Screambox Exclusive

Door had never been screened outside of its native Japan prior to Fantastic Fest last month. The newly-remastered 1988 home invasion film ratchets tension until its depraved finale.

Help! My In-Laws Are Vampires – October 31

Screambox Exclusive

Celebrate Halloween with the Italian horror-comedy that follows in the tradition of The Munsters and The Addams Family. (Looks fun!)

• Transgressive horror staple Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer starring Michael Rooker (Guardians of the Galaxy)
• Willow Creek, a found footage Bigfoot movie directed by Bobcat Goldthwait
• Boundary-pushing liminal horror Landlocked
• Emelie, a pulse-pounding thriller about a psychotic babysitter
• Possum, a psychological nightmare starring Sean Harris (Prometheus)
