Pluto TV and Entertainment Tonight have announced a Halloween-themed lineup for Double Feature Fridays, the weekly movie experience presented in partnership between the two networks. The event transforms Friday nights into dedicated fright nights throughout October, airing every Friday at 8 p.m. on the ET on the Pluto TV Spotlight channel. The programming pairs modern horror hits alongside independent films making their free streaming debuts.

Each broadcast opens with a custom segment hosted by Entertainment Tonight correspondent Emily Curl. These segments draw on ET’s extensive vault of archival interviews and behind-the-scenes footage to set up the weekly double features. The first installment, airing Friday, October 2, is themed “Fierce Revenge Thrillers” and features a high-octane lineup of female-led vengeance stories. The month kicks off with Quentin Tarantino’s two-part martial arts epic, Kill Bill Vol. 2, which follows The Bride (Uma Thurman) as she awakens from a coma and embarks on a relentless quest for revenge. The cast features Lucy Liu, David Carradine, Daryl Hannah, Michael Madsen, and Vivica A. Fox.

The second film in the October 2 double feature is The Last Victim, a neo-Western thriller following a small-town sheriff (Ron Perlman) investigating a brutal crime wave orchestrated by a ruthless gang leader. The film co-stars Ali Larter, Ralph Ineson, and Tahmoh Penikett. The following week, on Friday, October 9, the theme shifts to “Relentless Supernatural Hauntings.” This installment explores psychological terror and inescapable ancient curses. The lineup includes Smile, in which Dr. Rose Cotter (Sosie Bacon) is stalked by frightening, unnatural visions after witnessing a bizarre and traumatic incident involving a patient, forcing her to confront her past to survive.
