Chills & thrills: Apps for a happy Halloween

Tricks, treats, and a chance to transform yourself – there’s a lot to love about Halloween. These apps will help you get in the spooky spirit, from planning your costume to adding extra thrills to your next run or movie night.

Tubi and chills: It’s our new favorite movie fright night. Tubi TV has an impressive horror film library, with a deep collection of hidden gems and cult classics. Watch horror heroine Jamie Lee Curtis reign as queen in slasher flick Prom Night, or Alicia Silverstone get creepy in The Crush; see the original Suspiria, or Oscar winner Get Out. With no subscription required to watch, this streaming platform offers a selection that’s vast and often wonderfully obscure.

Discover the ultimate running motivation: saving the world from the zombie apocalypse. Each Story Mission will have you defending humanity against the undead as you exercise. If that’s not enough of an adrenaline rush for you, activate Chases and be prepared to sprint when zombies are on your tail. Not so into the living dead? Try the Marvel Move adventure series to train with The Hulk, Thor and Loki, or the X-Men instead.

Want a preview before committing to a costume plan? Apply customizable makeup – including a special collection of Halloween masks – to your photo or video. You can also find hair, makeup, and nail design inspiration, including video how-tos for recreating your favorite looks. Tune into live shows for extra guidance, and even post questions for the hosts.

Find ideas for crafting haunted house decorations, DIY costumes, jack-o'-lanterns, party games, and all manner of cute ‘n’ creepy treats. On the hunt for some Hallowmemes? You’ll find them here, too. There’s a lot to explore, so keep track of your favorites with personal boards.
