Close out the summer with some great action and horror on Netflix.
August 31
Supernatural slasher A Nightmare on Elm Street is a strange, silly horror movie about a dream-haunting murderer. Both the 1984 classic and the extremely not-classic 2010 remake leave Netflix this month.

The Dark Knight Rises may not reach the heights of The Dark Knight, but its interesting takes on Catwoman, Bane, and Batman himself make it a worthwhile conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s trilogy.

While the 2007 remake of Halloween hasn’t aged nearly as well as John Carpenter’s original, its even darker take on a classic horror movie has given it plenty of fans.
August 31
The Mission: Impossible series has delivered excellent but infrequent spy thrills since 1996. Leaving Netflix this month are the first two Mission: Impossible movies, and the fantastic Ghost Protocol.
