Paramount+ launched its annual Peak Screaming collection this week! The collection is expanding significantly, with over 450 horror movies, series, and episodes available to ensure there is something for everyone.

New offerings include the highly-anticipated Rosemary's Baby prequel film Apartment 7A starring Golden Globe-winning actress Julia Garner and a new hour-long SpongeBob SquarePants Halloween special. Those titles join a wide array of other notable horror films like Scream VI, Smile, A Quiet Place: Day One, Teen Wolf: The Movie, and tons of nostalgic Halloween episodes from your favorite shows!

And speaking of shows, it is the perfect time to revisit Evil, with all four seasons now streaming! Or if you've never seen it before, why not start? Keep reading to learn everything you can expect to see from Paramount's epic Peak Screaming collection this year!

Apartment 7A (Sept. 27)

• Director: Natalie Erika James
• Story by: Skylar James
• Starring: Julia Garner, Dianne Wiest, Kevin McNally, and Jim Sturgess

A prequel to the 1968 horror classic Rosemary's Baby, Apartment 7A follows the young dancer Terry Gionoffrio (Garner) in the aftermath of a potentially career-ending injury. With nowhere to go, Terry accepts a gracious offer from a wealthy older couple to live in the luxurious Bramford building in New York City.

All of this will sound familiar to fans of the original film, where Terry is shown meeting Rosemary Woodhouse in the basement laundry room before dying by apparent suicide. Apartment 7A will explore what really happens to Terry as she becomes deeply embedded in the lives of Minnie (Wiest) and Roman Castevet (McNally), who, as we know, are doing whatever it takes to bring about the birth of the Antichrist.

Apartment 7A will be available to purchase digitally on the same day.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Kreepaway Kamp (Oct. 10)

SpongeBob SquarePants celebrates its 25th anniversary with an hour-long special that sees the gang and many returning fan-favorite characters reunite at Kamp Koral, where they're soon stalked by a mysterious "creeper" who makes the campers disappear one by one.

"Will they solve the case, or will this campfire story become a real-life nightmare? Don’t miss the thrills, chills, and gills in this special anniversary episode of SpongeBob SquarePants!" shares Paramount.

A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)

• Writer/Director: Michael Sarnoski
• Cast: Lupita Nyong'o, Joseph Quinn, Djimon Hounsou, and Alex Wolff

While A Quiet Place: Day One is the third entry in the popular and acclaimed A Quiet Place franchise, it is actually set before the other two films, which follow the Abbott family. As the title suggests, Day One is all about the beginning of the extraterrestrial invasion.

The story centers on Lupita Nyong'o's character, Sam, a terminally ill woman living in hospice care in New York City when the alien invasion occurs, resulting in absolute chaos and carnage as monsters ravage the city. Though the monsters are blind, they have an extraordinarily keen sense of hearing, making them especially dangerous to anyone who cannot remain quiet. Even the slightest hiccup could lead to an instantaneous death. Sam meets another survivor, Eric (Quinn), and the pair tries to make their way to safety while staying silent.

All three A Quiet Place films are now streaming on Paramount+.
