Tubi Reminds Us That You Need a Body Bag to Do Horror the Right Way

Plain, mundane bed rotting is out, and lounging in an insulated body bag is in this Halloween season, thanks to Tubi. The free streaming service has launched a specially curated lineup of horror movies for its new Body Bag collection, and to accompany it, the company has dropped an actual wearable sleeping bag called the Body Bag. Are you truly a horror fan without one?

You can snuggle up and watch films such as 2018's Halloween, Terrifier, The Cabin in the Woods, The Slumber Party Massacre, and, as expected, John Carpenter's Body Bags. Once you've had your fill of this collection, you can move on to Tubi's other terror-laced titles in its other categories: Found Footage, Scream Queens & Final Girls, Neighborhood Nightmares and Satirical Horror. 

"At Tubi, we're fans of our fans -- and this Halloween, we wanted to celebrate our horror lovers in a way that feels true to their passion," said Tubi Chief Marketing Officer Nicole Parlapiano. "From a curated horror hub that lets fans dive down rabbit holes of the familiar and the unexpected to a tongue-in-cheek collectible that extends the experience beyond the screen, we're giving fans more ways to immerse themselves in the stories they love."

To celebrate the themed Body Bag release, Tubi is giving away the collectible lounge suit (complete with a hood) to the first 100 fans who log on to this special website. Just punch in the code BODYBAG.

The launch arrives ahead of the premiere for Glamping, a new movie from Tubi's first fan-picked Stubios winner, Rosemary Idisi. A Tubi original, the flick takes viewers on a camping trip to Big Bear, where an influencer and her friends are targeted by a killer. Fans can also watch more of the streamer's scary movie offerings during its month-long Terror on Tubi event, including Drag Me to Hell, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and a batch of Tubi originals.
