Tubi recently unveiled its official Halloween lineup. However, the free streaming platform is going the extra mile to keep horror fans thoroughly spooked all month long. In an homage to the pre-streaming era when moviegoers dialed automated hotlines like MovieFone to find showtimes, Tubi is launching its own interactive hotline. And it’s called TubiFone. Designed to help viewers navigate without endless scrolling, this hotline delivers tailored film and series recommendations based entirely on your mood.

How to Dial into the Spooky Season Recommendations

Movie fans can dial 1-833-605-TUBI. Once connected, callers can select the precise emotion or vibe they want their entertainment to evoke. The service then generates targeted suggestions available immediately on the platform. The system is engineered specifically for those moments when traditional subgenre tags like “slasher” or “creature feature” fall short, but descriptors like “appalled” or “paranoid” hit the mark.

Explore October’s Nine Keypad Categories of Terror

The October TubiFone lineup features nine distinct emotional pathways. Each blends iconic horror classics with recent indie releases and modern fan favorites. Callers can navigate the telephone keypad using the following breakdown:

  • Press 1 for Appalled: Tailored for viewers seeking shocking, boundary-pushing cinema, featuring titles ranging from the foundational slasher Friday the 13th to Julia Ducournau’s body-horror shocker Titane.

  • Press 2 for Wicked: A selection of darkly funny, malicious, and twisted tales including the classic haunted house feature House, the high-stakes survival thriller Ready or Not, and the horror-comedy hit The Blackening.

  • Press 8 for Paranoid: Ideal for deep psychological dread, folk horror, and lingering suspense, offering films like the original The Wicker Man, Ari Aster’s sun-drenched nightmare Midsommar, and the creature feature R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead II.

Callers can also choose from six other mood categories: Romantic, Dread, Panicked, Alienated, Possessed, and Awe.

Free Seasonal Horror Streaming Available Now

Whether you are looking for supernatural scares or gory creature features, every recommendation is available to stream immediately for free on Tubi. The hotline provides a fun, interactive way to bypass decision paralysis and dive straight into October’s best horror offerings.
