HBO Max Now Streaming the Best (and Goriest) Horror Sequel of the ’80s

by

With October here and horror movies becoming increasingly popular, it’s good to look at which streaming services are adding the most scary titles. This month, Peacock and Paramount+ had the biggest additions, but HBO Max also included a couple of well-known horror films, including a particularly great and intense sequel from the 1980s.

As a huge horror fan, I always say that *Evil Dead II* is one of those rare sequels that actually surpasses the original. *The Evil Dead* was a fantastic indie hit for Sam Raimi, but *Evil Dead II* really lets him go wild. It’s much more over-the-top, with Bruce Campbell getting to play Ash in a way that’s just completely bonkers and brilliantly gory. It really embraces the fun side of horror!

Fans of spooky movies are excited that *Evil Dead II*, the film that led to *Army of Darkness*, became available on HBO Max on September 1st. It’s quickly become a top pick for Halloween viewing. While it’s definitely not for the faint of heart, it’s a hugely entertaining horror experience. *Evil Dead II* remains a fan favorite, delivering thrills and laughs even after many viewings.

What’s New on HBO Max This Month?

HBO Max added several new movies and shows on September 1st, including favorites like *Evil Dead II*, Stephen King’s *Misery*, *Goodfellas*, *Se7en*, *Prometheus*, and *Dog Day Afternoon*.
