Disney+ is getting in the spooky spirit this October, with Rob Savage’s The Boogeyman and all-new takes on Goosebumps and Haunted Mansion on the way. But really, it’s all about the return of Loki for a second season – and, for those wanting something more down-to-earth, Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story.
