Edgar Wright‘s psychological thriller Last Night in Soho (read our review HERE) is getting a theatrical-only release on October 29th, but he has shot a video to help promote the Peacock streaming service anyway. If you signed up for Peacock to watch the recently released Halloween Kills, Wright has twenty reasons for you to keep watching the streamer through October.
In the Twitter video embedded below, Wright says,
This is ‘Curated by Edgar Wright’, my list of twenty films on Peacock that I have picked for the month of October. Since it’s coming up to Halloween, I thought it would be fun to pick twenty movies that are scary, funny, and dark and twisted. I had fun picking out this list; they’re all favorite films of mine and I think you’re going to have a lot of fun watching them in the lead-up to Halloween.”
