On Tuesday, discovery+ announced its October programming slate, and with it came some new spooky content for the Halloween season. While we learned of most of the new spooky offerings coming to the platform via Discovery’s “Ghostober” announcement, two additional titles, “The Curse of the Highgate Vampire” and “Tour of Terror,” were unveiled as part of the October lineup.
“The Curse of the Highgate Vampire” joins discovery+ as part of the streaming service’s Paranormal and Unexplained offerings. It follows a gang of paranormal thrill-seekers who get locked inside Highgate cemetery overnight, where they stumble across horrifying and bone-chilling paranormal evidence that triggers an insatiable obsession to find out about the infamous hauntings of Highgate. “The Curse of the Highgate Vampire” will premiere on the streaming service on Friday, October 29.
“Tour of Terror” will premiere as one of the new Immersions available on discovery+. Immersions are slow-TV-inspired programming from discovery+ that creates an immersive, high-end viewing experience with dazzling visuals and ambient sound. In “Tour of Terror,” viewers will be able to immerse themselves in some of the world’s spookiest sites. Helmed by award-winning filmmaker and YouTuber Dan Mace, audiences will embark on a firsthand excursion into the world of the paranormal. “Tour of Terror” will premiere on discovery+ on Monday, October 25.
Check out the additional October premiere’s that were previously announced below:
Ghost Adventures: Goldfield Hotel – Friday, October 1
The “Ghost Adventures” crew heads back to Goldfield, Nevada, to settle – once and for all – a mysterious evil feud that’s been cast over the town. In a highly personal and emotionally charged investigation, Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley, and Jay Wasley revisit the haunted town and hotel where their journey began.
The Haunted Museum – Saturday, October 2
The creepy collection of haunted artifacts housed inside Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum are getting the spotlight in “The Haunted Museum,” a new horror film anthology series produced in collaboration with filmmaker Eli Roth. The series presents frightening and hellish tales inspired by the spooky relics on display in Zak Bagans’ Las Vegas museum.
House Haunters – Thursday, October 7
Emmy® nominated actor and producer Anthony Anderson, star of the ABC sitcom “Black-ish,” along with his mom and co-host of ABC’s “To Tell the Truth,” Doris Bowman, will combine their love of all things home—and mischief—to host the new discovery+ series House Haunters. During this hidden camera real estate and home renovation prank series from the producers of “Impractical Jokers,” Anthony and Doris will take over properties and devise hilarious gags for unsuspecting house hunters, real estate agents, handymen—and even a few HGTV stars, including Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent (“The Nate & Jeremiah Home Project”) and Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt (“100 Day Dream Home”). Throughout “House Haunters,” with dozens of hidden cameras in place and working from a nearby unmarked van, Anthony and Doris will scheme to scare, startle and surprise visitors to the homes—executing humorous high jinks with creepy dolls come to life, mysterious pests on the loose, home decor that has a mind of its own or seemingly haunted spaces.
Eli Roth Presents: A Ghost Ruined My Life – Friday, October 8
From master of horror Eli Roth, “A Ghost Ruined My Life” shares the shocking stories of hauntings that have left emotional (and sometimes physical) scars on those unlucky enough to have experienced them. Equal parts terrifying and evocative, every hour-long episode will expose viewers to the real-life stories of survivors who have been dragged through hell and back.
Jack and Kelly Osbourne: Night of Terror – Sunday, October 24
Jack Osbourne introduced his sister, Kelly, to the paranormal last year and turned her skepticism into a curiosity of the unknown. Now, he’s bringing her to the queen of all haunted locations – the RMS Queen Mary. Since it shut down to the public in early 2020 when the Coronavirus pandemic struck, the hallowed halls of this once-elegant ocean liner have grown silent – but hardly empty. Jack and Kelly come aboard to investigate the infamous ghost ship alone.
Ghost Hunters – Sunday, October 31
The revival of the series that started it all is here! “Ghost Hunters” comes exclusively to discovery+ with a brand-new season featuring original team leader Jason Hawes, joined by Steve Gonsalves, Dave Tango, and Shari DeBenedetti. A special Halloween event kicks off the new run, as the TAPS team take back the paranormal reins in epic haunted locations.
