Terror por M+ and Romance por M+ arrive on Movistar Plus+ with marathons, premieres and confirmed channels

October arrives with a mix of thrills and butterflies in your stomach: Movistar Plus+ launches two temporary channels dedicated to genres that couldn't be more different, yet complementary. With Terror por M+ and Romance por M+ , the platform activates a pop-up format to enjoy carefully curated programming on the most significant days of autumn, with Halloween and the Sitges Film Festival on the horizon for the former, and romantic comedies that will bring either a smile or a tear to your eye for the latter.

Both channels will be accessible to customers with integrated TV through miMovistar, as well as those using the €9,99 per month OTT subscription . In addition to their linear broadcast on television channels, their titles will be added to the on-demand catalog , so you can watch them wherever and whenever it suits you, without missing any key broadcasts or the most anticipated marathons of the month.

What are Terror by M+ and Romance by M+?

Movistar Plus+ is reinforcing its ephemeral channel strategy with two channels designed for very different but equally popular tastes. On the one hand, M+ Terror (channel 15) , active since Thursday, October 9, is geared towards maximizing the pre-Halloween atmosphere and the echoes of the Sitges Film Festival . On the other, Romance por M+ (channel 18) is the ideal refuge for those who prefer heart-pounding thrills to scares, with a lineup focused on romantic films that combines classics, recent hits, and hidden gems.

Both channels are pop-up, meaning they are limited in time . Two key dates are marked on the calendar: M+ Terror airs until November 2nd , while Romance on M+ continues until November 10th . During this period, the content will also be available on demand, allowing you to follow the programming at your own pace and without being tied to fixed schedules.

M+ Terror: perfect atmosphere for Halloween and Sitges

The horror channel is pulling out all the stops with a selection of over a hundred films , featuring genre classics, cult titles, entire sagas, and recent productions that have revolutionized the way we're scared. The lineup kicks off strong with hits like The Silence of the Lambs, Saw, It Follows, and Jaws , and includes themed nights and short series, such as the Conjuring marathon announced for Fridays.

Beyond feature films, the offering is rounded out with short films and short movies that add an experimental touch to the channel. Among them, " Playing God " stands out, bringing a more modern feel to the experience. And, be aware, the weekend doesn't forget to cater to franchise fans: on Sunday, screenings of Annabelle , the first two installments of A Quiet Place , and several Nightmare on Elm Street films are scheduled —perfect for a sleepless night.

As for references that fans will instantly recognize, the channel promises a mix of psychological horror, slasher films, cult classics, and mainstream phenomena. Titles like Phenomena, Halloween, The Nameless , and The Exorcism of Georgetown are cited , alongside timeless icons such as The Exorcist , It , Hereditary , Midsommar , and even the entire Scream saga , reinforcing the "great October marathon" spirit the channel is aiming for.

It should be noted that the romantic classic " Ghost " was mistakenly linked to a horror lineup in some media outlets, when it actually belongs to the sentimental programming of the other channel. According to official information released for M+ Terror, the first weekend's lineup will consist of pure horror films and marathons similar to those in the "Warrenverse," without intentionally mixing genres.

More new releases in October on Movistar Plus+

The month isn't just about horror and romance. Movistar Plus+ has announced other additions to its offerings. Firstly, there's the arrival of new BBC channels exclusively for Spain, strengthening areas like nature, history, leisure, and British fiction with BBC Lifestyle , BBC Earth , BBC History , BBC Food , BBC Drama , and BBC Top Gear . This qualitative leap aligns with the strategy of differentiating itself not only through volume but also through distinct editorial experiences .

There is also a strong return to the focus on domestic production with the Spanish Cinema Day (October 6)During this period, a special channel pays tribute to the national film industry with award-winning films, iconic titles, and premieres. Highlights include: Sirat y Deaf (shortlisted for the 2026 Oscars), along with screenings such as Good luck, The holy innocents and other names that will be announced among new additions: Miss Carbon (12 of October), Four walls (16 of October), The irresponsible ones, The Footballers 2, The Mystery of the Pirate Treasure, The Muértimers, Camp Bear Claw, What I learned from my penguinor later Pilgrimage, The talent y Until I lose my voice.

Meanwhile, some reference articles included recommendations unrelated to these channels, such as reminding users of their Sports Broadcasts section with schedules for the best football, motorsports, and other sports. And, outside the realm of pop-ups, the platform has also introduced usability improvements , such as reactivating user profiles when the decoder is turned on, with minor adjustments that make startup easier.

Why this bet makes sense

The formula of seasonal themed channels reinforces Movistar Plus+'s positioning as a streaming service that "celebrates" moments of the year with meticulous curation . October is, by nature, the month of fear: combining Sitges with Halloween and programming more than 100 horror films is a treat for any cinephile looking to binge-watch or revisit entire sagas. And, in turn, adding a parallel romance channel balances things out: romance for those who don't want scares and for those who prefer other kinds of emotions.

On a practical level, having everything available on demand makes all the difference. You can binge-watch The Conjuring , revisit Halloween , indulge in Ghost in the wee hours, or catch up on You've Got Mail without rearranging your schedule around the TV lineup. And if you prefer satellite to streaming, with Astra's settings you can lock both channels in the blink of an eye, without losing access to channels 15 and 18 on traditional TV.

Finally, it's no coincidence that specialized websites have turned the premiere into a hot topic of conversation and are encouraging readers to follow its updates on social media platforms like Facebook , X, and Instagram . These channels are full of recognizable titles and "event" moments (like marathons) that invite discussion and the discovery of hidden gems alongside timeless classics.

With two such distinct yet cinematic offerings, Movistar Plus+ hits the mark: terrifying thrills and swoon-inducing romance , all in October and early November, with clear channel selection, OTT access for €9,99, on-demand options, and the peace of mind that there will be something for everyone. The best part: you can switch between them. Watch " The Conjuring " one Friday and " Moonstruck " the next to go to sleep with a smile. And if you want more, there are the BBC channels and a showcase of Spanish cinema to complete a non-stop month on the platform.
