On October 27, if you subscribe to one of the premium versions, you can save on the price of movie tickets and watch Five Wonders of the Night on your Peacock account. Freddie Fesbel, Bonney, Chika and Fox may not have been household names in the '80s, but these deadly machine-animated characters would be hugely successful on their big-screen debuts.
Like the hit video game based on the movie, Freddie and his evil friends spend most of their time dormant. Only after midnight do they turn into evil killing machines. This is bad news for Mike Schmidt (Josh Hutchinson), who has just been hired as a night shift security guard. Suddenly, an easy job becomes dangerous not only for Mike himself but also for his youngest daughter, Abby (Piper Ruby). The animated doll just wants to kill Mike, and for Abby, they have other plans...

He watches you while you sleep. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you are good or bad... It's too late now, because Krams has already come to kill you. And this Christmas symbol cannot be bought by milk and cookies. In Crampus, young Emjay Anthony tries to keep the Christmas heart alive, encouraged by his father Tom (Adam Scott) and mother Sarah Engel (Toni Colette). But when the extended family visited after the holidays, constant quarrels and even bullying from cousins made Max lose confidence.
This is exactly the opportunity that Krampus (Gideon Emery) needs. This Christmas demon carries out a horrific attack on the family with murderous toys and drags them away one by one. Max's grandmother, Omi (Christa Stadler), once encountered Krampus. But in the end, it may have to face the holiday demon himself.

Nearly two decades ago, director Edgar Wright's Gray the Corpse Eater perfectly blended comedy and horror elements during a zombie outbreak in London. The protagonist Sean (Simon Page) and his good brother Ed (Nick Frost) decide to wait for the crisis to end in their favorite bar. But first, they must find Sean's ex-girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield), her roommates David (Dylan Moran) and Deanna (Lucy Davis), as well as Sean's mother, Barbara (Penelope Wilton), and her second husband, Philip (Bill Nye).
When their team members were bitten to death, Sean's hopes were dashed. As his plans crumble, Sean has to grow and get better or he and the rest of his friends and family will become food for the zombies.

Three years before AMC launched The Walking Dead, director Frank Darabont added some scary and haunting elements to bring Stephen King's novel The Mist to the screen. After an unexpected violent storm, David Drayton (Thomas Jane) and his son Billy (Nathan Gamble) are trapped in a supermarket, while an unnatural mist fills the town. As the fog emerges, terrifying monsters begin to wreak havoc and kill anyone who steps outside.
Although David made friends and allies with Laurie Holden, Toby Jones and Jeffrey DeMunn, his makeshift group was threatened by religious fanatic Lady Gay Harden. As the internal situation became increasingly critical, Kamodi and her new followers began to demand human sacrifice.
