As Halloween approaches, Netflix has confirmed it will remove several iconic horror films from its library, disappointing fans of the genre. Among the titles being axed are the first two films in the Saw franchise, which will be taken down on September 30, just weeks before October 31.
Other notable removals include The Cabin In The Woods, starring Chris Hemsworth, which leaves on October 1, and the dystopian thriller Don’t Worry Darling, featuring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, also departing on the same date. Additional horror movies such as The Circle, The Gore, and Possession will be removed throughout September and October.
Beyond horror, Netflix is also removing popular series including all 11 seasons of Shameless, Celebrity Gogglebox, Ray Winstone’s Sicily, Supernatural Academy, and RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars. The purge comes as the platform prepares to add new titles like Cillian Murphy’s Steve, Monster: The Ed Gein Story, and House of Guinness.
Earlier this month, Netflix added the rom-com Anyone but You, starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, which was a box office hit despite mixed reviews. The film, based on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, follows two exes who pretend to be a couple to achieve their own goals.
