It's all treats and no tricks with Netflix's latest batch of new arrivals, as October will deliver a full size, not a fun size, number of movies and TV shows to the Big Red Streaming Monolith. 

After losing most of its syndicated TV hits to rival streamers, Netflix finally gains one with "Seinfeld" maniacally exploding through the service's door to say hello. That's right: You can finally watch "Seinfeld" – it was so hard to find before!

On the film side of things, Netflix's trick-or-treating trip went pretty great, scoring a whole bunch of Oscar-lauded blockbusters like "Ghost" (just in time for Halloween), "Gladiator," "Malcolm X" and "Titanic." The Big Red Streaming Monolith will also throwback to the '90s with some retro hits – both great and so bad they're great – like "A Knight's Tale," "Double Team" (Jean-Claude Van Damme AND Dennis Rodman!?) and the Kevin Costner Made Some Choices double feature of "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" and "Waterworld." And if you'd rather celebrate Halloween with jokes than jump scares, there's the comedy classics "Step Brothers" and "Tommy Boy."

Of course, for those who prefer frights, Netflix will scare "Insidious Chapter 2" and the excellent "Zodiac" back up onto the streaming service. And for somethine truly terrifying, there's a second season of the Netflix Original furry reality dating show/evidence that there is no god "Sexy Beasts." 

As for significantly less depressing Netflix Original news, the intriguing Jake Gyllenhaal-led remake of the tremendous Danish claustrophobic phone operator thriller "The Guilty" will answer the call on the first of the new month. Meanwhile, later in the month brings the third season of the stalker hit "You," the zombie movie heist spin-off "Army of Thieves" and the Colin Kaepernick mini-series "Colin in Black & White," produced by Ava DuVernay and co-written/executive produced by Milwaukee native Michael Starrbury

It's all very well-timed; the temperatures are dropping, and the couch is beginning to call again. So here's to a scary good month of streaming.

Matt Mueller Culture Editor

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
