Halloween is four weeks away but streaming service Netflix is already prepping its selections for all thrill-loving fans and viewers.

"Stranger Things" is returning for its second season and it promises to be more frightening than season 1. Between Millie Bobby Brown returning as Eleven and references to "Thriller" and "Ghostbusters," the hit TV series has an exciting season up ahead this October.

For those looking for an even scarier ride, there is "Cult of Chucky" (2017), the latest in the "Chucky" films that defined a generation's fear of dolls. The killer doll and his equally terrifying wife are back to terrorize their newest human victim, Nica (Fiona Dourif).

Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999) is also coming to Netflix this October, bringing with it Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and a wild one-night exploration of sex and desire.

Cult favorite "Donnie Darko" (2001) joins the party next month as well, which means a new generation of teenagers can watch Jake Gyllenhaal as a rabbit-haunted troubled teenager. The film also stars Drew Barrymore and Jena Malone.

Of course, Netflix also has a collection of comedy and family-friendly films for the fainthearted this Halloween.

"Miss Congeniality" (2000), "Smurfs: The Lost Village" (2017) and "Meet the Robinsons" (2007) will all be available for streaming on Netflix this October.
