A lot of people on the internet seem pretty keen on what they're calling Summerween: basically blending a bunch of summertime activities with Halloween decor and whatnot. The record-breaking temperatures are certainly spooky, so why not? If you're eager to take any opportunity you can to extend the life of the most fun holiday we have going, Prime Video's docket of new arrivals for the month of August can help you get your scream queen on as much as possible before the season's end.
The fresh streaming content on Prime Video for the month ahead seems to have a proclivity for procuring the heebies and/or jeebies. In the latter category of horror films old and new, Sydney Sweeney stars as a nun at the centre of an uncanny conspiracy in Immaculate, and Dev Patel seeks revenge in the Jordan Peele-produced Monkey Man, while creepy classics like The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, The Return of the Living Dead, both versions of The Amityville Horror and more are also on their way.
If jump-scares aren't really your jam, you can focus more on the thrills than the chills with the arrival of the Batman: Caped Crusader Amazon Original animated series, One Fast Move — the Amazon Original movie starring K.J. Apa (Riverdale), Eric Dane (Euphoria) and Maia Reficco (Pretty Little Liars) making lightning-quick manoeuvres — and John Cena's latest: the laugh-out-loud Jackpot!, co-starring Awkwafina.
Elsewhere, Mark Wahlberg and Simu Liu lead in Arthur the King, a tear-jerker about a pro adventure racer and his street dog companion, and sci-fi fans can get dialled into the anticipated second season of Beacon 23. Music lovers can also check out all three days of San Francisco's revered Outside Lands festival streaming live, with headliners including the Killers, Sabrina Carpenter, Sturgill Simpson and Post Malone.
