The spooky season stops feeling far away as soon as streamers start rolling out Halloween releases. It’s finally that time of the year. One such signature horror series, created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, just released its 13th Season and it’s currently trending in Australia, the United States, Canada, and beyond, on multiple streaming platforms.
According to FlixPatrol, the horror anthology series that rolled out its first three episodes initially and will continue to do so until Halloween is already trending on Disney+ in Canada, Portugal, Singapore, and the United States in its Top 10 overall chart. On the wider Top 10 TV shows chart on Disney+, however, the show is trending in dozens of countries including but not limited to Albania, Brazil, Antigua and Barbuda, Estonia, and Lithuania. Then on Amazon Prime Video, the show was at the #9 spot in the U.S. earlier in the week. On Apple TV Store, it’s at #5 in Australia, #4 in Canada, and #3 in the U.S. at the time of writing. On Hulu, it has been the #1 most-streamed TV show throughout the week and is currently in the #3 spot.
And then finally, on Binge, American Horror Story has been at the #1 spot in Australia throughout the last week.

Your Nightmare Is…
Four franchises, four completely different ways of getting underneath
your skin. This is the one built out of your particular fear, why it works so well on you, and what
it would leave behind.
A Nightmare on Elm Street · Since 1984
Your nightmare does not wait outside the door. It waits for you
to close your eyes, which you are going to have to do eventually because nobody has ever
won that particular argument.
- Freddy is horror’s cruellest idea: a threat that lives in the one place you cannot
guard, cannot lock, and cannot avoid forever. - You are the one who is fine during the film and wide awake at two in the morning. Your
own head is where this does its damage. - These films understood exhaustion as a horror engine. The kids on Elm Street do not lose
because they are weak. They lose because they are tired. - You can lock every door in the house. You still have to sleep.
Child’s Play · Chucky · Since 1988
Your nightmare is not really the doll. It is the face of the
person you tell and the way they decide very kindly that you have imagined all of it.
- Chucky works precisely because he is absurd. That is the trap: the more accurately you
describe him, the less anybody is going to believe you. - You are shouting at the screen because the characters are not listening. You
know that feeling from real life too. - The franchise is at its best when adults in the room are real obstacles; you have met those adults.
- By the time somebody finally believes you will have handled most of it on your own.
Scream · Ghostface · Since 1996
Your nightmare has your number knows your name and has almost
certainly been inside your house before. The worst part is that you already know them.
- Scream is only one of these where killer takes off mask turns out to be
somebody who was at party. - You are person who calls twist out loud before it lands; you watch people same way watch films.
- The franchise made rules horror part plot which means survivors paying attention; you’d be paying attention.
- Everybody suspect including person just offered walk home.
The Conjuring · The Warren Files · Since 2013
Your nightmare is not really about you; it’s about people asleep down hall feeling whatever here isn’t interested leaving.
The Conjuring films domestic horror house family perfectly ordinary room quietly stops feeling ordinary.
Your instinct get everybody into one room; fear protective rather than personal which rarer sounds.
This one franchise where belief weapon; people come through ones who aren’t alone refuse be.
Whatever here didn’t come for came household you’re standing hallway.
