Paramount+ Unleashes Peak Screaming Collection for Halloween Season

Paramount+ is looking to muscle in on Shudder’s territory with their ‘Peak Screaming Collection’, which they unveiled today.

Here’s the full breakdown from the studio:

September 17, 2025 – Fright-filled nights await as the annual Paramount+ Peak Screaming Collection returns to the service today packed with bone-chilling thrills and eerie entertainment to enjoy this Halloween season, including the debut of the Paramount+ original film VICIOUS. The popular collection returns bigger than ever with over 450 titles spanning iconic horror movies, complete collections of genre-defining franchises and Halloween episodes from fan-favorite series, so there’s something for everyone this spooky season.

The seasonal collection includes the premiere of the Paramount+ original horror film VICIOUS from writer/director Bryan Bertino, starring Dakota Fanning.

When she opens it, she’s pulled into a surreal and shifting nightmare where every choice she makes leads to terrifying consequences. Starting Monday, October 10, the film will stream exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. following its world premiere at Fantastic Fest.

Paramount+ will also be the streaming home to CBS’ seasonal content, including Halloween episodes of Ghosts** and Elsbeth** October 30 as well as Tracker** on November 2.
