A very Halloween-ish watchlist on OTT this weekend (October 26-November 1)

One of the biggest Malayalam blockbusters ever, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra stars Kalyani Priyadarshan as Chandra, an immortal vampire drawn from Malayalam folklore who hides her powers in modern-day Bengaluru. When she uncovers a violent organ-trafficking network and a corrupt cop gaining dangerous supernatural powers, she’s forced to rise and fight back. Blending myth, fantasy, and high-stakes action, the film marks Malayalam cinema’s first female superhero story. Packed with some of the industry’s biggest stars, it’s the beginning of an ambitious cinematic universe where ancient legends meet modern chaos.

While Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 continues to roar at the box office, fans can now also stream it at home. A prequel to Rishab Shetty’s 2022 phenomenon, the film explores the origin story of Berme, a young man blessed by the deities Panjurli and Guliga. As his tribe thrives in peace, a ruthless king’s greed sparks an epic clash of faith and survival. With stunning visuals and an arresting soundtrack, this chapter deepens the mystical lore of the Kantara universe. Whether you’re a returning fan or a newcomer, this divine saga is too powerful to skip.

The Continent welcomes a new Geralt. Liam Hemsworth steps into the role after Henry Cavill’s exit, and the fandom has opinions. The new season picks up right after the chaos of season three, with Geralt forming a new fellowship called Hansa to find Ciri, while Yennefer becomes head of Aretuza. Meanwhile, Ciri takes on a new identity and joins the Rats. Expect sword fights, monsters, and Hemsworth’s fresh take on the White Wolf. Whether you’re here for the magic or just curious about the recasting drama, this season promises all the potions, portals, and political chaos you love.

Looking for the perfect Halloween binge? It: Welcome to Derry brings you back to the cursed town of Maine in 1962. When a young family moves in, their dream home turns into a nightmare after a local boy mysteriously disappears. The series dives into the origins of Pennywise’s terror and the town’s chilling secrets. Think vintage Americana, creepy clowns, and that lingering sense of “don’t go into the basement”. Equal parts nostalgic and terrifying, it’s the kind of show you’ll want to watch with the lights on.
