Monster The Ed Gein Story - Ryan Murphy - Ian Brennan - 2025

Every movie and series coming to Netflix this week: October 2025

Netflix just went absolutely feral this week. You open the app, and it’s like walking into a party where everyone from Tony Montana to Patrick Swayze is somehow in the same living room.

Doesn’t make sense, but it’s also kind of thrilling. Some weeks, Netflix is awfully quiet; there are more things leaving than coming, but this is one of the good ones.

The first thing that will hit you? Scarface. That movie is less a film and more a fever dream your film-bro cousin keeps quoting at you. It’s loud and brash, and now it’s casually sitting next to Taxi Driver, which is basically the arthouse opposite. You have De Niro muttering to himself in the mirror like the patron saint of insomniacs. Those two alone could fuel a semester of cinema arguments, and Netflix just plopped them both on your homepage like, ‘Dear viewers, have fun.’

Then, out of nowhere, you have got Eddie Murphy everywhere. And we mean everywhere. Beverly Hills Cop trilogy, Coming to America, Raw, and Daddy Day Care. It’s like he bought Netflix a drink and asked to be put everywhere on the screen. But he is not wrong, as the man has got some range. One minute, he is swearing on stage in a red leather suit, the next, he’s running a messy daycare. If you are not in an Eddie Murphy mood now, you will be by Sunday.

But if you want to hit your soft spot this week, we have got the ultimate classic: Dirty Dancing. Because let’s be honest, have you ever watched that lift scene and not wanted to immediately find a partner and fail spectacularly in your own living room? Netflix knows nostalgia is a drug, and between that and The Goonies, they are basically selling childhood memories on demand.

Of course, it’s October, so the horror section is doing cartwheels. The Strangers is back, and if you have ever been alone at home when the doorbell rings, you already know the vibe. When a Stranger Calls piles on the paranoia, and then Sinister 2 swoops in just to make sure you regret turning off the lights. And the real flex is Dracula from 1931 creeping onto the line-up. No CGI, no jump-scare orchestra. Just Bela Lugosi’s stare, which is somehow scarier than anything Blumhouse has churned out lately.

And while you are catching your breath from all that, Netflix casually drops Molly’s Game with Jessica Chastain playing poker like it’s gladiator combat. Coach Carter slides in to make you believe you could still make the team if you tried. Meet Joe Black whispers three hours of ethereal Brad Pitt at you, and you forgive him because, well, he’s Brad Pitt.

The shows? A whole buffet. Halo is here with two seasons, so if you’ve ever missed your Xbox days, congratulations, you just lost your weekend. Love Is Blind somehow made it to season nine, which is insane when you think about it. People are still proposing to strangers behind walls, while most of us can’t even get a Hinge date to text back.

One Piece sails into its twenty-fifth season, proving anime isn’t bound by human timelines. And the crown jewel for spooky season: Monster: The Ed Gein Story. Because, of course, Netflix looked at October and guessed that its viewers would be in the mood for something scarier.

This line-up isn’t neat or subtle this time. It’s a pure mess, but a good mess where there is so much content you can’t decide what to watch next.
