Prime Video's got plenty of those — the Amazon streaming service welcomed a whopping 136 new movie titles on October 1 alone — so there's no shortage of fun and freaky flicks for you to enjoy this weekend.For starters, there's an explosive meet-up between two of cinema's greatest monsters—Godzilla and King Kong—in "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire," which arrived on the streamer on October 4. If you're into all things witchy, there's the fittingly titled horror-mystery "The Witch," featuring a young Anya Taylor-Joy in her feature film debut.
