2 movie in the nation over the weekend, even though it’s also streaming on Disney+. Chalk this weirdness up to a lack of new movies and that annual urge to watch Halloween favorites—yes, Tim Burton/Johnny Depp/Christina Ricci’s “Sleepy Hollow” is still streaming on Netflix. “Harry Potter,” for example, has been flying all over the streaming landscape, but all eight films are free on NBC Universal’s new streaming platform, Peacock (Peacocktv.com)—at least this month. The thing I like about horror is that you get to watch it, you get to get tense and then it’s over. When I was about 14, I discovered Wes Craven’s ‘The People Under the Stairs.’ I was, like: oh, my gosh, a horror movie with Black people in it.
