Xbox Game Pass Now Has Free Horror Movies for Halloween

As a seasoned horror enthusiast and an avid Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, I must say that this latest offering from Microsoft has me thrilled to my bones! The addition of two classic horror movies – “The Devil’s Rejects” and the original “Saw” – is like a gift from the dark lord himself for Halloween enthusiasts like myself.


Xbox is jumping into the festive mood early by offering some unique benefits to its Xbox Game Pass subscribers this week. While new games are added to the subscription service as usual, this latest update also offers two seasonal movies that you can own as long as your subscription remains active. The movies up for grabs are “The Devil’s Rejects” and the original “Saw” film. However, you need to claim them before Halloween arrives, as they will only be available until then.

Similar to extra perks that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers often receive alongside new game releases, the movies “The Devil’s Rejects” and “Saw” are only accessible if you have this premium subscription. These films are part of Microsoft’s larger “Shocktober” event, which offers significant discounts on horror movies (up to 50%) during the Halloween season. As a bonus for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, these two movies are free. Additionally, mentioning Shocktober serves as a heads-up that if you’re interested in more recent horror films such as “Saw: The Final Chapter,” “Terrifier 2,” or “Smile” to add to your collection, they might become available too.

Rob Zombie’s ‘The Devil’s Rejects’ is his second film in the Firefly Trilogy, following ‘House of 1,000 Corpses.’ This gritty movie was directed by and stars musician Rob Zombie and horror legend Sid Haig. It’s often considered Zombie’s best work among fans, although opinions vary between ‘The Devil’s Rejects,’ ‘The Lords of Salem,’ ‘3 From Hell,’ and his remake of ‘Halloween.’ However, it’s important to note that this film contains graphic violence and is not suitable for the faint-hearted. Despite its less ominous title compared to ‘House of 1,000 Corpses,’ it is actually more violent.

Beyond that, there’s the iconic film “Saw,” which has become a staple in horror genre without needing any introduction. However, to give it some context due to its significant influence, let me briefly explain. Released in 2004 by James Wan, a renowned horror director, this was the first installment of what grew into an extensive series. Although later sequels may have been more graphic, this original film boasts the most captivating twist among them. If you’re among the many who indulge in yearly Saw franchise re-watches around Halloween, adding this to your collection is a must, especially if you’re an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber.
