Get ready to celebrate the spooky season with Dusk ‘Till Dawn: The Camp Miasma Halloween Sleepover. There are more gems on MUBI this October.
A great selection of exciting new titles and themed collections is coming to MUBI throughout the month. Kicking off the spooky season is the Dusk ‘Till Dawn: The Camp Miasma Halloween Sleepover collection. This is in honor of the release of Jane Schenbrun’s latest film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026). This new collection promises all kinds of thrills. In addition, Charles Laughton’s Southern Gothic horror-thriller The Night of the Hunter (1955) and Richard Kelly’s cult classic Donnie Darko (2001) are more must-sees for lovers of suspense.
Time: Traps: Two by Christopher Nolan brings together Following (1998) and Memento (2000), his earliest films. They trace his thematic obsession with time. Nolan’s work also explores its friction with narrative storytelling. Moreover, MUBI’s Latest & Greatest strand welcomes Kent Jones’s thought-provoking drama Late Fame (2025).
More gems also available to stream include Luca Guadagnino’s intoxicating love triangle drama Challengers (2024), and Rick Rubin’s directorial debut JAŸ-Z In 8 (2026). This is his eight-part candid conversation series. It tracks the rapper’s career. Additionally, F.W. Murnau’s stunning masterpiece of German Expressionist cinema with Faust (1926) is available.
JAŸ-Z IN 8
In his directorial debut, legendary producer Rick Rubin sits down with JAŸ-Z for JAŸ-Z In 8 (2026), an eight-part conversation tracing the rapper’s career through the lyrics and experiences that shaped it. Across candid discussions, JAŸ-Z revisits his writing process, childhood and evolving relationship with the world around him, offering an intimate look at the connection between a life lived and the art it inspires.
JAŸ-Z in 8 (Rubin, 2026) – Episodes 1 & 2 on September 19, then 2 episodes released weekly; concluding with episodes 7 & 8 on October 10
FAUST
F.W. Murnau’s Faust (1926) is a towering work of German Expressionism, transforming Goethe’s legendary pact with the Devil into a feverish fantasia of light and shadow. As we mark the film’s centenary, MUBI Editions’ The Faust Bible: The Making of F.W. Murnau’s Masterpiece offers a rare glimpse behind its creation, bringing a recently rediscovered visual diary of around 400 photographs and illustrations to print for the first time. Together, film and book reveal Murnau’s extraordinary vision from both sides of the camera.
Faust (Murnau, 1926) – October 14

CHALLENGERS
Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers (2024) follows an exhilarating love triangle between former tennis prodigy Tashi (Zendaya) and two friends, Patrick (Josh O’Connor) and Art (Mike Faist), whose friendship and rivalry have long revolved around her. As tensions collide around a high-stakes match, Guadagnino turns tennis into a charged game of desire and power, propelled by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’s pulsating techno score.
Challengers (Guadagninol, 2024) – October 1
LATEST AND GREATEST: LATE FAME
Kent Jones’s Late Fame (2025) follows former poet Ed (Willem Dafoe), whose brief encounter with a group of young artists threatens to pull him back into the New York’s creative life he has long left behind. As Ed navigates the attention of his newfound admirers, Jones quietly considers the gap between artistic ambition and the lives we eventually settle into, while capturing a Soho caught between its bohemian past and its increasingly polished and gentrified present.
Late Fame (Jones, 2025) – October 16
TIME TRAPS: TWO BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN
Christopher Nolan’s early films, Following (1998) and Memento (2000), mark the start of a career-long fascination with how storytelling can bend and distort time. In Following, a young man’s voyeuristic curiosity draws him into a fractured noir mystery told out of time, while Memento turns memory itself into a puzzle, unfolding a tragic revenge story backwards.
Following (Nolan, 1998) – October 23
Memento (Nolan, 2000) – October 23
DONNIE DARKO (4K)
Richard Kelly’s cult Donnie Darko (2001) follows a troubled adolescent (Jake Gyllenhaal, in his breakout role) whose visions of a mysterious rabbit coincide with the threat of an impending apocalypse. Set against the backdrop of 1980s America, Kelly blends teen angst with time travel and dark humor, turning Donnie’s strange journey into a haunting portrayal of teenage alienation and his growing conviction that the bizarre events unfolding around him happen for a reason.
Donnie Darko (Kelly, 2001) – October 1
THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER
Charles Laughton’s sole film as director, the now-acclaimed The Night of the Hunter (1955), was unfairly dismissed on its release but is now lauded as a landmark of American cinema. It follows two children pursued by a sinister preacher (Robert Mitchum), seeking a fortune hidden by their late father. Drawing on Grimm fairy tales and Southern Gothic, Laughton shows a world where childhood is under threat by nefarious forces, with Mitchum’s unforgettable performance making his preacher both terrifying and strangely human.
The Night of the Hunter (Laughton, 1955) – October 1
