Another month approaches and that means new shows coming to Netflix. A bit shy of good movies this month, but there are plenty quality shows to occupy everyone’s time as they prepare their costumes for Halloween.

1. Batman Begins – (10/1)
The start of the Nolan trilogy. What better way to get someone in the mood for Trick or Treating then by watching the man who dresses like a bat and goes around handing out tricks to all the bad criminals of Gotham city.

2. The Originals: Season 2 – (10/6) & Vampire Diaries: Season 6 – (10/2)
Nothing says Halloween more than Vampires. The sixth season of the original series and the second of its spin off will help to people to play catch up with their favorite Vampire couples. At least it will keep the kids away from watching Twilight.

To keep the Halloween theme up, let’s check out some zombies. In this new series based on a comic book, a young medical resident finds herself turned into a zombie, but is able to sustain her cravings by working in a morgue. She also discovers she can recall the memories of the deceased after eating their brain and uses the info to fight crime. Who says there are no good zombies?

7. Mr. Peabody and Sherman – (10/9)
While not looking as polished as the one the movie Dreamworks released in theaters, fans of the old show might find something to enjoy about the story of a Dog and his boy as they travel through history. If anything, Chris Parnell voicing Mr. Peabody should be good for a few laughs.

The perfect thing for the Disney fans out there. This short collection includes the Tangled epilogue short, Tangled Ever After, The Frozen epilogue short, Frozen Fever, and Oscar Award winning short, Paperman. Definately a must watch for the animation fans out there.
