  "account": "Tubi added 186 new movies and shows in October, attracting horror fans with a variety of ad-supported options. The streaming service has highlighted three highly-rated horror hits available free of charge: Late Night with the Devil (2023), Pearl (2022), and Midsommar (2019).\n\nLate Night with the Devil (2023) received a 97% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. The found-footage horror movie, set in the 70s, follows a late-night talk show host who brings a supposedly possessed girl onto his show, leading to supernatural events. David Dastmalchian stars as Jack Delroy, a struggling chat show host attempting to boost ratings by featuring the possessed girl. The inventive use of the talk show format creates tension throughout the film and culminates in a chilling finale.\n\nPearl (2022) is Mia Goth's standout performance in Ti West's X Trilogy, functioning as a standalone story. Pearl is a young woman seeking a career in Hollywood, escaping her overbearing mother's influence. Her sister-in-law informs her about a troupe auditioning dancers for a road tour. Pearl sees this as her ticket to stardom, but when her opportunities crumble, she becomes unhinged. Goth and Tandi Wright deliver powerful performances, with Goth portraying a determined starlet willing to do anything for her moment in the spotlight, while Wright's chilling monologue about a festering malevolence inside her daughter adds to the psychological horror.\n\nMidsommar (2019) is Ari Aster's expertly crafted horror film with a poignant message about grief and escaping what no longer serves us. Florence Pugh stars as a young American couple traveling to a remote Swedish commune for the midsummer festival. The festivities turn bloody, leaving the Americans questioning their choices. While Midsommar received mixed reviews upon its release, it has become a go-to horror film for its expertly woven scares and powerful storytelling.",
