September 17, 2025 – Fright-filled nights await as the annual Paramount+ Peak Screaming Collection returns to the service today packed with bone-chilling thrills and eerie entertainment to enjoy this Halloween season, including the debut of the Paramount+ original film VICIOUS. The popular collection returns bigger than ever with over 450 titles spanning iconic horror movies, complete collections of genre-defining franchises and Halloween episodes from fan-favorite series, so there’s something for everyone this spooky season.
The seasonal collection includes the premiere of the Paramount+ original horror film VICIOUS from writer/director Bryan Bertino, starring Dakota Fanning. When Polly (Fanning) receives a mysterious box from an unexpected late-night visitor, it comes with one rule: place inside something you need, something you hate, and something you love. When she opens it, she’s pulled into a surreal and shifting nightmare where every choice she makes leads to terrifying consequences. Starting Monday, October 10, the film will stream exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. following its world premiere at Fantastic Fest. Check out the new VICIOUS trailer here.
Paramount+ will also be the streaming home to CBS’ seasonal content, including Halloween episodes of Ghosts** and Elsbeth** October 30 as well as Tracker** on November 2.
