Terror on Tubi: free streaming service announces October’s original programming

Tubi is one of our favorite streaming services here on Arrow in the Head, because it’s packed with cool genre films and shows, and best of all it’s totally free. Tubi was purchased by Fox Corporation last year, and its new owners are leading it into the realm of original programming this fall – including some original projects that will tie in with the Terror on Tubi Halloween celebration that will last throughout October.

Here’s the information:

All month long, Tubi will offer thousands of hours of scares from streaming’s biggest free Halloween movie collection, with more than 5,000 horror and paranormal titles from which to choose. As part of “Terror on Tubi,” the streaming service is premiering four Tubi Originals: MEET, MARRY, MURDER; HARLAND MANOR; and the FOX Alternative Entertainment-produced FAMOUSLY HAUNTED: AMITYVILLE and CELEBRITY EXORCISM; as well as a plethora of haunting and heart-pounding films for horror and paranormal enthusiasts.

As previously announced, Tubi is kicking off its original programming this fall and will debut 140+ hours of all-new content, including original programming from FOX Alternative Entertainment (FAE). Throughout October, Tubi will feature an array of frightening content, ranging from paranormal series to horror films and true crime series, including MEET, MARRY, MURDER, hosted by Michelle Trachtenberg (October 6), FAMOUSLY HAUNTED: AMITYVILLE (October 15), CELEBRITY EXORCISM (October 22) and horror film HARLAND MANOR (October 29). All of the “Terror on Tubi” offerings are available for free on the platform.

“Tubi viewers devour horror titles all year long so we’ve made ‘Terror on Tubi’ extra enticing,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “With more than 5,000 horror and paranormal titles and four bone-chilling originals, Tubi ramps up its position as a formidable force in horror.”

“We’re thrilled to be premiering our first FAE Tubi original titles on the platform with the inaugural ‘Terror on Tubi’ celebration,” said Rob Wade, FOX Entertainment’s President of Alternative Entertainment and Specials. “We look forward to continuing to bring original content that not only draws in new audiences with the bold programming that has long been synonymous with FOX, but that also reflects the genres and entertainment Tubi’s streaming audiences love most.”

And here are the details on each one of the original projects that will be premiering during the Terror on Tubi event:

MEET, MARRY, MURDER (October 6), a 13-part true crime series hosted and executive-produced by actress Michelle Trachtenberg (“Gossip Girl”), explores the true stories of people who were murdered by their partners, and features interviews with witnesses to discuss the tragic unions. The series is from FilmRise and FirstLookTV and is executive-produced by Will Hanrahan, Gillian Carter, Danny Fisher and Max Einhorn.

FAMOUSLY HAUNTED: AMITYVILLE (October 15) – When infamous Amityville killer Ronnie Defeo died behind bars this year, social media blew up with a new wave of armchair detectives and paranormal experts obsessed with the real-life horror story that shattered this sleepy Long Island village nearly 50 years ago. Now, just in time for Halloween, from FOX Alternative Entertainment comes FAMOUSLY HAUNTED: AMITYVILLE, a fresh look at how six shocking murders spawned one of the most terrifying ghost stories in American history.

CELEBRITY EXORCISM (October 22) – From FOX Alternative Entertainment, CELEBRITY EXORCISM stars Jodie Sweetin (“Full House”), Shar Jackson (“Moesha”) and Metta World Peace (NBA Champion and All-Star), as they come together for a good old-fashioned fright fest! With the help of an acclaimed exorcist, this team of brave celebrities enrolls in a paranormal boot camp like we’ve never seen before – journeying to exorcise an iconic haunted location… Do you dare to join them?

HARLAND MANOR (October 29) – Directed by Steven R. Monroe (“The Exorcism of Molly Hartley,” “I Spit on Your Grave”) and co-written by Steven R. Monroe and John Thaddeus (“Sea of Love”), HARLAND MANOR stars Camille Sullivan (“Intelligence”), Summer H. Howell (“Cult of Chucky”), Dion Johnstone (“Sweet Magnolias”) and Josh Strait (“The Ice Road”) as a team of paranormal investigators who document the haunted Harland Manor, only to find themselves hunted by the malevolent ghosts that still dwell there. HARLAND MANOR is produced by Stan Spry (“Creepshow,” “Day of the Dead,” “Jeepers Creepers 3”) and Eric Scott Woods (“Creepshow,” “Toys of Terror”) from Cartel.

There’s some interesting stuff in there. I’m especially drawn to Celebrity Exorcism because it sounds ridiculous.
