The Best TV Shows And Movies Coming To Max In September 2023
Streaming services shake up their catalogs every month, but few rounds of TV and film musical chairs tend to be as rewarding as the ones that take place each fall. That’s because we’re entering spooky season, a time in which horror fans attempt to tackle ambitious watchlists and scaredy-cats dip their toes into the horror waters in the spirit of all things autumnal.
In keeping with this tradition, a large chunk of the movies making their way to Max (formerly HBO Max) this September are, if not outright scary, at least vaguely within the boundaries of the horror genre. Sure, there are some comedy classics (“Friday”), historical epics (“Gangs of New York”), and brand new docuseries (“Megan Thee Stallion vs. Tory Lanez: Five Shots”) worth tuning into, but for my money, nearly all the best Max picks next month fall under the Halloween watchlist-adjacent umbrella.
You shouldn’t have to wade through six “Children of the Corn” sequels to find something good to watch, so we’ve got you covered with a rundown of all the best the streamer has to offer come September. Let’s kick it off with an entirely un-spooky recommendation for anyone who doesn’t want to celebrate the season, then get scarier as we go, shall we?
