Paramount+ is bringing back their annual Peak Screaming Collection for this Halloween season, and it even includes an original horror film.
Peak Screaming has more than 450 spooky movies, franchises and Halloween-themed tv episodes, so strap in and let’s look at a sampling of what Paramount+ is giving us this year.
First up is Paramount+ original VICIOUS. Dakota Fanning stars as Polly, who gets a mysterious box from a late night visitor. With the box are instructions for Polly to place inside of it three things: something she needs, something she hates and something she loves. Opening the box places her in a “surreal and shifting nightmare where every choice she makes leads to terrifying consequences. You can see the trailer at the end of this article.
VICIOUS will stream exclusively on Paramount+ beginning October 10.
