Crunchyroll is gearing up to embrace the Halloween spirit by offering fans a treat. Starting from October 1st, the popular anime streaming service will be removing the paywall on select shows for the entire month. To indulge in these free episodes, all you need to do is create a free user account with Crunchyroll.
But Crunchyroll isn’t the only streaming service getting into the Halloween groove. Various platforms are giving their apps a spooky revamp to celebrate the haunting season. For instance, Freeform is set to air its annual 31 Nights of Halloween special, while Paramount+ has announced its thrilling Peak Screaming lineup. Additionally, Max, Netflix, and Hulu have dedicated sections featuring an array of Halloween-themed content.
Interestingly, Crunchyroll initially offered a free tier with advertisements. However, this option was phased out back in February, compelling all users to pay a fee for accessing their desired content. Hence, this limited-time offer allowing free access to select anime titles is an enticing opportunity for fans.
For the entire month of October, Crunchyroll is generously granting free access to a range of captivating anime series. Among the featured shows are Blood Blockade Battlefront, Blue Exorcist, Corpse Princess: Shikabane Hime, and Deadman Wonderland. Fans can also revel in Ghost Hunt, Hell’s Paradise, Hellsing, Hellsing: Ultimate, and Higurashi: When They Cry – GOU. For those seeking a mix of adventure and cuteness, How to Keep a Mummy, Junji Ito Collection, and Kemono Jihen are excellent choices. Furthermore, Mieruko-chan, The Case Study of Vanitas, The Vampire Dies in No Time, Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, Tokyo Ghoul, Trinity Blood, and Zombie Land Saga are also included.
Although Crunchyroll offers a wide selection of free shows and movies, subscribing to one of its premium tiers unlocks even more content. The Fan tier, available at $7.99 per month, grants access to the entire Crunchyroll library. Meanwhile, the Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan plans, priced at $9.99 and $14.99 respectively, not only provide access to the extensive library, but also offer perks such as offline viewing, streaming on multiple devices, and discounts in Crunchyroll’s store.
This limited-time offer from Crunchyroll is an exciting opportunity for fans to delve into a captivating world of anime this Halloween. So mark your calendars and create your free account to make the most of this spooky season. Happy streaming!
