• Movies Leaving Netflix On October

While we're packing our bags heading to October, spooky season is upon us. But before we can start embracing sweater weather, planning our Halloween costumes, ordering pumpkin-spice-flavored everything, and arguing over the merits (or lack thereof) of candy corn, we must formally close the door on the past season.

Just like we have to clean house in preparation for the start of October and a brand-new season, streaming sites must also de-clutter their libraries to make room for the all the creepy content we crave during the month. Netflix is leading the charge in a big way, tossing out several awesome movies so that subscribers can get their Halloween fix all month long as soon as October begins. Without exaggerating more let's head to the recommended movies you need watch before October ends.

Cloverfield: (Leaving October 1)

Cloverfield takes its name from the fictional case in the movie known as "Cloverfield," an incident in which an enormous parasitic creature and a horde of smaller monsters run rampant through New York City, killing people and destroying the city. Presented as video clips that members of the U.S. Department of Defense recovered from a camcorder located in what was once Central Park, the film follows a group of friends (played by Lizzy Caplan, Mike Vogel, T.J. Miller, Jessica Lucas, Michael Stahl-David, and Odette Yustman) as they attempt to evade the monsters and make it out of the Big Apple alive. 

Scream 4: (Leaving October 7)

For horror lovers, October is the time to watch at least one of the films in the Scream franchise at least once per week. Directed by slasher film icon Wes Craven, Scream 4 sees Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) returning to Woodsboro with her publicist Rebecca Walters (Alison Brie) as part of the tour to promote her new self-help book. Sidney gets a lot more than she bargained for, of course, as she soon becomes a suspect in the murders of high school students Jenny Randall (Aimee Teegarden) and Marnie Cooper (Britt Robertson).
Things go from bad to worse when the masked killer Ghostface begins calling Sidney's cousin Jill (Emma Roberts) and threatening her life. As Sidney and Jill attempt to crack the case, so too do Woodsboro sheriff Dewey Riley (returning Scream favorite David Arquette) and his wife Gale Weathers-Riley (fellow Scream veteran Courteney Cox). It's a fight against time, circumstance, and traumatic history to rid Woodsboro of Ghostface for good.

The Imitation Game: (Leaving October 29)

Directed by Norwegian filmmaker Morten Tyldum and based on the Andrew Hodges-written biography Alan Turing: The Enigma, 2014's The Imitation Game tells the incredible true-life story of British cryptanalyst Alan Turing (portrayed in the film by Doctor Strange actor Benedict Cumberbatch), who worked as part of the the British government's cryptography team during World War II and decrypted the thought-to-be-unbreakable German codes transmitted by the country's Enigma machine. Throughout the course of the film, it's revealed that Turing is gay, which was punishable by law in England at the time and complicates Turing's personal and professional lives. Although you most have all October to see it before it leaves.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence: (Leaving October 1)

What ended up on the silver screen was the unique story of a childlike robot named David, played by Haley Joel Osment, whose ability to love and abandonment by his adoptive parents set him on a journey to become a real boy. It's one part The Adventures of Pinocchio, one part The Wizard of Oz, and one part exploration of a future, post-climate change world. It's also got Jude Law as a male prostitute named Gigolo Joe, so there really isn't anything more you could want from A.I.
