HBO Max is serving up a lot of great new movies this October. Fittingly for the spooky season, the Warner Bros. streaming service is adding a fair few classic horrors to its library next month, but there’s really something for everyone going up – from comedies to romances to sci-fi to superhero films.
Speaking of that last genre, DC lovers will be pleased to note that 2013’s Man of Steel, the movie that kicked off the DCEU, is among the titles arriving on October 1st. Besides that, there’s a bunch of animated DC pics dropping the same day, including Superman/Batman: Public Enemies and All-Star Superman. 2005’s Constantine featuring Keanu Reeves, meanwhile, also debuts on the service from the 1st.
That’s not the only film starring the beloved actor headed to the platform, though, as probably the highlight of October’s haul is the addition of the entire Matrix trilogy at the beginning of the month. Now’s the perfect time to relive Neo, Morpheus and Trinity’s fight against the system, after all, seeing as The Matrix 4 is finally in development. And speaking of great trilogies, the first three Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles flicks are likewise arriving.
As for those classic horrors, when I say “classic” I do mean “classic.” HBO Max is adding a ton of iconic horrors from the 50s and 60s including The Curse of Frankenstein, 1959’s The Mummy and Dracula Has Risen from the Grave. On the comedy side of things, meanwhile, you may want to catch two out of three of the Austin Powers films, sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest and Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan romcom You’ve Got Mail.
