October is bringing plenty of new movies and shows to streaming, but the monthly shuffle also means a long list of titles are about to disappear.
Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Peacock and Paramount+ are all rotating movies out of their libraries throughout October 2026. Some of the bigger departures include Spider-Man: Homecoming, Gone Girl, The Evil Dead, Jurassic Park, Mean Girls, The Goonies, A Quiet Place and several films from The Twilight Saga.
Many of the biggest removals happen as October begins, meaning September 30 will be the final full day to watch a large number of them.
Editor’s note: Streaming availability changes frequently as licensing agreements are renewed, extended or expire. This guide covers U.S. streaming availability and reflects departure information available as of September 23, 2026. Geek Vibes Nation will update the list as additional removals are confirmed.

Scream leaving on October 8 also gives horror fans another reason to revisit Ghostface this month. GVN has previously taken a look at the entire series in our Scream movie franchise ranking.
Movies Leaving Hulu in October 2026
Hulu has one of the biggest groups of October removals, with a substantial number of movies currently scheduled to rotate out as the month begins.
Some of the biggest titles currently tracked for an October 1 departure include:
- 12 Angry Men (1957)
- 21 Jump Street (2012)
- 22 Jump Street (2014)
- Avatar (2009)
- Black Panther (2018)

One of the more notable recent films on the list is The Substance. Coralie Fargeat’s body-horror hit became one of the genre’s biggest talking points after its 2024 debut, with Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley leading the film.
Additional October Hulu departures currently include The Boogeyman on October 5 and The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial on October 6, with more dates likely to become clearer as October approaches.
Movies Leaving HBO Max in October 2026
HBO Max has a smaller October departure list than Hulu, but there are some very recognizable movies among the titles leaving as the month begins.
Leaving HBO Max October 1
- A Most Violent Year (2014)
- Bad Santa (2003)
- Bad Santa 2 (2016)
- Barbarian (2022)
- The Equalizer (2014)
- The Equalizer 2 (2018)

- Stand by Me (1986)
- The Strangers (2008)
- The Substance (2024)
- War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)
- While We’re Young (2015)
Horror fans have several movies worth prioritizing. Sam Raimi’s original The Evil Dead, The Strangers, Barbarian and The Substance are all currently scheduled to disappear as October begins.
The timing is especially notable for The Evil Dead. GVN recently revisited the movie with its new 4K UHD SteelBook release, calling attention to the film that started one of horror’s most enduring franchises.
Movies Leaving Peacock in October 2026
Peacock is adding plenty of horror for Halloween, but it is also saying goodbye to an unusually strong collection of movies as October begins.
The most noticeable loss may be the Twilight Saga, but there are plenty of other recognizable titles leaving alongside it.
Leaving Peacock October 1
- 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
- A Cinderella Story (2004)
- Alien: Covenant (2017)
- The Beekeeper (2024)
- Bee Movie (2007)
- The Bone Collector (1999)
- The Breakfast Club (1985)
- Coming to America (1988)
- Disturbia (2007)
- Freaky (2020)
- Ghost Rider (2007)
- Glass (2019)
- The Goonies (1985)
- Horrible Bosses (2011)
- Horrible Bosses 2 (2014)
- House of Gucci (2021)
- It Follows (2015)
- The Last Exorcism (2010)
- The Mask (1994)
- Mean Girls (2004)
- The Menu (2022)
- Nocturnal Animals (2016)
- Prometheus (2012)
- Rambo (2008)
- Rambo: Last Blood (2019)
- Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019)
- Shrek the Third (2007)
- Signs (2002)
- Sing (2016)
- The Sixth Sense (1999)
- Split (2017)
- Star Trek (2009)
- Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
- Star Trek Beyond (2016)
- Twilight (2008)
- The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
- The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
- The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 (2011)
- The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 (2012)
- The Village (2004)
Peacock’s horror losses are especially interesting considering the timing. It Follows, Freaky, The Last Exorcism, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Signs, Split and The Sixth Sense are all leaving just as audiences start looking for Halloween movies.
The Menu is another strong option worth squeezing in before October. GVN previously called the Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy thriller a “terrifically devious satire” in our home entertainment review.
The Phantasm franchise also begins departing a few days later, with Phantasm, Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead, Phantasm IV: Oblivion and Phantasm: Ravager currently scheduled to leave October 5.
Movies Leaving Paramount+ in October 2026
Paramount+ is also making a substantial library change at the beginning of October.
Leaving Paramount+ October 1
- Babel (2006)
- Clue (1985)
- Dead Man Walking (1995)
- The Doors (1991)
- Everybody Wants Some!! (2016)
- Equilibrium (2002)
- The Hangover Part II (2011)
- The Hangover Part III (2013)
- The Heartbreak Kid (2007)
- Hustle & Flow (2005)
- Indecent Proposal (1993)
- Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
- Machine Gun Preacher (2011)
- Young Adult (2011)
Other Paramount+ Departures
- October 2: A Quiet Place (2018)
- October 6: Queen of the Desert (2015)
- October 7: Soul Men (2008)
- October 8: Scream 4 (2011)
Scream 4 is an especially timely departure. GVN recently revisited Wes Craven’s fourth entry for its 15th anniversary and looked at why the once-divisive sequel has developed such a strong reputation among horror fans.
A Quiet Place is also worth revisiting before it leaves. For more from the franchise, check out our review of A Quiet Place: Day One.
What About Prime Video?
Prime Video is a little more complicated because Amazon combines movies included with a standard Prime subscription, titles available through separate channel subscriptions and movies available to rent or purchase.
As of September 23, a comprehensive October list for movies leaving the base Prime Video subscription has not surfaced with the same level of confidence as the other major services. Rather than include titles that may simply be moving from “Included with Prime” to rental or channel availability, we will update this section as Amazon’s October expiration notices become clearer.
Watch Them Before They’re Gone
Streaming libraries are never permanent. Movies regularly bounce between Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Peacock, Paramount+, Prime Video and other services as licensing agreements expire and studios negotiate new deals.
October’s departures are a particularly good example. Some major movies are leaving one service while similar titles — and occasionally the same movies — can appear somewhere else shortly afterward.
If you’ve been putting off Gone Girl, Spider-Man: Homecoming, The Evil Dead, Jurassic Park, The Sixth Sense, Mean Girls, A Quiet Place or any of the other movies above, now is probably a good time to move them toward the top of the watchlist.
Which movie are you going to watch before it leaves streaming? Let us know, and keep checking Geek Vibes Nation as we update the list throughout October.
