I have talked a lot about the different series and movies I have been watching this month. However, most, if not all have been centered around Netflix. It is the most popular streaming service, and it is the one I use most. But nowadays, there are so many different streaming services, so I wanted to break away from what I have been focusing on to give some recommendations of things to watch on Amazon Prime for Halloween.
If you do want to check out my Netflix recommendations for spooky series to watch, you can click here. I also have a list of mystery series on Netflix that are perfect for fall, which you can find here.
But let’s be honest, Amazon runs this world. From the food we eat to the products we buy, Amazon is heavily involved in our day-to-day lives. Which is why it was no surprise when they decided to start a streaming service connected to their Prime services.
I am just waiting for the day when we no longer use cable because every network is starting to build their own streaming services. Do you think that is possible?
Anyway, I am having so much fun scrolling through Prime Video, adding everything to my list, and I figured I would share my finds today. So, here are some things to watch on Amazon Prime for Halloween, along with a few brief reasons why I recommend them. It doesn’t take long for me to decide whether or not I will like a movie or series, so hopefully it’s the same for you.

With all the streaming services, there seems to be an endless supply of spooky entertainment to watch. I don’t know how I’ll watch everything, especially when I just keep watching old favorites instead of new ones. But I’m sure going to try anyway.
Can you believe there is only one week left of October. Somehow, this month went by in a blur of spooky content, pumpkin spice lattés, and jack-o-lanterns. As much as I am excited for the holiday season, I am also not ready for Halloween to be over. It truly is the only month of the year that I have so much fun.
But might as well make it good while it lasts by consuming all the spooky content I can find. Let me know in the comments below if you have any Amazon Prime spooky recommendations!
