We can expect a few classics will be coming to Disney Plus throughout October but look for some more surprises to drop too.

Here is every show that we know of so far that is confirmed to be dropping in October.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Friday, October 1

This cult film initially had a terrible start with a financial flop and mediocre reviews, however, it found a new life and is now recognised as the longest continually running theatrical movie of all time.

The plot loosely follows Brad and Janet, who are left stranded on a stormy night due to a flat tyre. They experience strange incidents when they seek shelter in a nearby castle belonging to Frank-N-Furter, an eccentric transvestite.

Featuring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Richard O’Brien and Meat Loaf as the main characters. A great film to kickstart the month of October.

LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales - Friday, October 1

Lego’s can be terrifying too. After the events of The Rise of Skywalker, Poe and BB-8 must make an emergency landing on the volcanic planet Mustafar, where they meet the greedy and conniving Graballa the Hutt, who has purchased Darth Vader’s castle and is renovating it into the galaxy’s first all-inclusive Sith-inspired luxury hotel.

While waiting for his X-Wing to be repaired, Poe, BB-8, Graballa, and Dean (a plucky and courageous young boy who works as Graballa’s mechanic) venture deep into the mysterious castle with Vader’s loyal servant, Vaneé.

As Vaneé spins his tales and lures our heroes deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the castle, a sinister plan emerges. With the help of Dean, Poe and BB-8 will have to face their fears, stop an ancient evil from rising, and escape to make it back to their friends.

Black Widow - Wednesday, October 6

The solo project many have been waiting to drop on Disney Plus features Florence Pugh, David Harbour and Rachel Weisz the film takes place after the events of Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War.

Black Widow, also known as Natasha Romanoff, is on the run and is forced to confront her past and her former role as an assassin.

The film made its debut on Disney Plus earlier this year, with premiere access alongside its cinema release, but now you will have unlimited access to the show.

Muppets Haunted Mansion - Friday, October 8

Back for a Disney Plus original, world-famous daredevil The Great Gonzo takes on the greatest challenge of his life by spending the night in the scariest place on Earth, as the name spills, the haunted mansion.

Teamed with his friend Pepé the King Prawn, this musical comedy reunites Kermit and the entire Muppets gang, who portray the beloved grim grinning ghosts of the Haunted Mansion in this star-studded, frightfully funny Muppets adventure.

Scary Movie 4 - Friday, October 15

Everyone’s favourite comedy-horror franchise will land on Disney Plus soon, Scary Movie 4 marks the final appearances of the main stars, Anna Faris and Regina Hall, who portray Cindy and Brenda.

In the film, Cindy and Brenda team up with cute-but-clueless Tom Ryan to save the world from a hostile alien invasion, with unlimited references to cult classics such as Saw, War of the Worlds and Million Dollar Baby.

This was intended to be the final film of the franchise until Scary Movie 5 came out with a different storyline and the remainder of the main characters portraying different roles.

American Horror Story: Double Feature - Wednesday, October 20

The tenth season of American Horror Story will be available to stream on October 20, with the following episodes released every Wednesday.
