In the Philippines, Halloween movie nights are serious business for horror fans. While jump scares and slasher flicks are fun, sometimes you need a movie with real backbone: critically acclaimed, award-winning horror that lingers long after the credits roll.

If you are looking for top-tier cinematic frights, HBO Max is home to some of the most celebrated and award-winning horror movies. Best experienced with your PLDT Home Fiber, here are some titles streaming on HBO Max that promise the ultimate spine-chilling binge session.

IT (2017)

Starring Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise, New Line Cinema’s horror thriller IT is based on the hugely popular Stephen King novel of the same name, which has been terrifying readers for decades. It is the highest-grossing horror film of all time, being nominated for and winning film and genre awards, including the MTV Movie & TV Awards and the IGN Awards for Best Horror Movie of 2017, as well as earning a high Rotten Tomatoes score.

When children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine, a group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.

Weapons (2025)

When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at 2:17 am, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.

From Zach Cregger, the director behind Barbarian, Weapons is an intricate, sprawling horror epic that keeps viewers guessing until the final frame. Amy Madigan, who plays the film’s antagonist Aunt Gladys, earned the movie an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, among other awards and nominations, including the Actor Awards (Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role), the AACTA International Awards, and the Astra Film Awards (also Best Supporting Actress).

The Exorcist (1973)

Modern horror has come a long way, but sometimes, you can’t go wrong with the classics like The Exorcist, available to stream on HBO Max.

This one barely needs an introduction: the classic story of possession and its legacy of unforgettable scares is a proven winner. When a charming 12-year-old girl takes on the characteristics and voices of others, doctors say there is nothing they can do. As people begin to die, the girl's mother realizes her daughter has been possessed by the devil – and that her daughter's only possible hope lies with two priests and the ancient rite of demonic exorcism. The Exorcist has garnered prestigious accolades, including awards like the Oscars and the Golden Globes.

Doctor Sleep (2019)

The sequel to horror and Stanley Kubrick classic The Shining brings the familiar feeling of eerieness and dread. Ewan McGregor plays the grown-up Danny Torrance, the son of Jack Nicholson’s iconic character Jack Torrance from the 1980 original – and he must deal with the trauma and supernatural threats seeking his psychic power.

Horror master Mike Flanagan directed the highly acclaimed work, and Doctor Sleep garnered much praise from critics and a slew of nominations in the 2021 Saturn Awards, with supporting actress Kyliegh Curran winning Best Performance by a Younger Actor.

The True Camera Phone Built for Every Perspective: The OPPO Find X10 Series Arrives in the Philippines

Tweet

OPPO introduces its next-generation flagship smartphones, led by the industry’s first Triple 200MP Camera System on the Find X10 Pro Max, Hasselblad imaging innovations, and true-to-life photography across every focal length.

Every photograph tells a story, but capturing it as it truly happened takes more than a powerful camera. From the finest details of a portrait to the changing light of a landscape, great photography is about preserving the colors, textures, and atmosphere that make every moment worth remembering.

OPPO brings this philosophy to life in its latest generation of flagship smartphones with the official Philippine launch of the OPPO Find X10 Series, featuring the OPPO Find X10 and OPPO Find X10 Pro Max. Delivering on the promise of “The True Camera Phone,” the series combines imaging technology co-developed with Hasselblad, the next-generation LUMO True Image Engine, and advanced camera systems to capture images with remarkable clarity and consistency across focal lengths.

Leading the lineup is the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max, debuting the industry-first Triple 200MP Camera System. Exclusive to the Pro Max, this breakthrough brings 200MP resolution to the main, ultra-wide, and telephoto cameras, capturing stunning detail from sweeping landscapes to distant subjects. The OPPO Find X10 joins the lineup with a powerful Dual 200MP Camera System, giving users more freedom to capture everyday moments with striking clarity.

Together, the two devices mark a new chapter in OPPO's pursuit of authentic imaging, where advanced technology works to preserve the beauty of a scene rather than change how it naturally appears.

Three 200MP Cameras, No Weak Focal Length.

Smartphone photography has traditionally placed its strongest imaging capabilities on the main camera, often requiring users to compromise on clarity when switching to ultra-wide or telephoto perspectives. The OPPO Find X10 Series challenges this limitation by delivering exceptional imaging capabilities across different focal lengths, allowing users to approach every subject with greater creative freedom.

At the forefront is the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max's industry-first Hasselblad Triple 200MP Camera System, featuring three high-resolution cameras, each designed to excel in a different photographic perspective. Its 200MP Ultra HDR Main Camera captures exceptional detail through a large 1/1.3-inch sensor, making it ideal for portraits, everyday photography, and scenes with challenging lighting conditions.

For expansive landscapes, architecture, and group compositions, the 200MP Ultra-Sensing Ultra-Wide Camera offers a 124-degree field of view, capturing more of the scene while retaining remarkable detail. Its autofocus also enables close-up macro photography, revealing intricate textures that might otherwise go unnoticed. Completing the system is the 200MP Ultra-Sensing Telephoto Camera, designed to bring distant subjects closer without sacrificing image quality. From expressive portraits to architectural details and live performances, it offers greater flexibility to compose photographs from different distances.

The OPPO Find X10 brings this same commitment to versatile imaging through its Dual 200MP Camera System, combining a 200MP Ultra-Clear Main Camera and a 200MP Ultra-Sensing Telephoto Camera with a 50MP Ultra-Wide Camera.

Beyond resolution, both devices give users the flexibility to crop and reframe high-resolution images while retaining fine detail. This allows a single photograph to reveal multiple compositions, giving photographers more creative possibilities even after the shutter has been pressed

True-to-Life Photography, Powered by LUMO True Image Engine

While high resolution captures more detail, a truly exceptional photograph must also preserve the character of the moment. The OPPO Find X10 Series introduces the LUMO True Image Engine, OPPO's next-generation computational imaging technology designed to reproduce authentic colors, natural lighting, and realistic textures.

Developed to address the excessive processing often associated with smartphone photography, the LUMO True Image Engine brings together three essential elements of image quality: true-to-life color, tone, and texture.

Its next-generation True Color Camera uses 24-channel multispectral capture and delivers 5.5 times the dynamic range of its predecessor, allowing the device to interpret colors more accurately across different lighting conditions. This helps preserve natural skin tones, subtle color variations, and the original character of a scene.

The technology also delivers more natural contrast by maintaining the balance between highlights and shadows. Instead of excessively brightening darker areas or flattening dramatic lighting, it preserves the atmosphere that gives a photograph depth and emotion.

For added realism, the LUMO True Image Engine takes a more restrained approach to sharpening and noise reduction, helping maintain authentic textures in everything from skin and hair to fabrics, architecture, and natural landscapes.

On the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max, this imaging experience is further strengthened by DeepPix technology, integrated into its custom 200MP ISOCELL HPC main camera sensor co-developed by OPPO and Samsung. Supporting up to 17 stops of dynamic range, DeepPix helps retain detail in scenes where bright highlights and deep shadows appear together.

This becomes particularly valuable when photographing sunsets, backlit portraits, and other challenging environments where preserving the original lighting makes all the difference.

The result is a camera experience that prioritizes photographs that look natural, detailed, and faithful to the moment as it was seen.

Professional Imaging Expertise Through Hasselblad

At the heart of the OPPO Find X10 Series is OPPO's continued collaboration with legendary camera manufacturer Hasselblad, bringing professional imaging expertise into a smartphone designed for everyday use. The partnership goes beyond camera branding, influencing how the Find X10 Series approaches color reproduction, tonal balance, and photographic expression.

Through Hasselblad's color science and the natural image processing of Hasselblad Master Mode, the devices aim to produce images with the depth, authenticity, and visual character associated with professional photography. This philosophy is reflected throughout the camera experience, allowing photographers and everyday users to capture their subjects with more confidence while maintaining greater control over the final image.

For creators who want to push their photography further, both models also support dedicated OPPO Hasselblad Teleconverter accessories, extending their optical reach for subjects that cannot easily be approached. When paired with the accessory, the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max supports true 10x optical zoom, while the OPPO Find X10 delivers 11x optical zoom. This provides additional opportunities to photograph concerts, wildlife, and distant subjects with greater detail.

A Flagship Experience Built Around Creativity

Beyond photography, the OPPO Find X10 Series delivers the performance, display quality, and durability expected from a premium flagship smartphone. Both models support 4K video recording at up to 120fps and 8K recording at 30fps, giving content creators more flexibility to capture cinematic scenes, detailed footage, and memorable everyday moments.

The OPPO Find X10 Pro Max features a spacious 6.78-inch flat display, while the OPPO Find X10 offers a more compact 6.59-inch flat display. Both support adaptive refresh rates of up to 144Hz and the BT.2020 wide color gamut, creating a vivid and immersive experience for reviewing photographs, watching videos, and enjoying everyday content.

An 8,000mAh silicon-carbon battery on both models supports extended use, allowing users to spend more time creating, exploring, and capturing moments throughout the day.

The devices also boast IP66, IP68, and IP69 dust and water resistance ratings, alongside SGS Five-Star Drop Resistance Certification, providing additional confidence for photography and everyday use in different environments.

With refined designs, professional-grade displays, and powerful imaging capabilities, the OPPO Find X10 Series brings together the essentials of a complete flagship experience without losing sight of what makes it distinctive: its camera.

Today, the company is sharpening its strategic focus on the premium segment, building differentiated competitiveness through imaging while delivering elevated user experiences to drive its next stage of global growth, and bring new vitality to the market.

The premium consumers have delivered a resounding response to OPPO's flagship products this year. According to the latest Omdia report, OPPO Find Series shipments grew more than 500% year-on-year in 1H 2026, accompanied by a significant increase in OPPO's shipment share in the USD $600+ price segment. Over the past two years, the share of premium smartphones within OPPO's overall smartphone shipments has doubled year on year, underscoring the growing importance of the premium segment to OPPO's business.

Looking ahead, OPPO will continue to strengthen its premium offering and drive further growth in the segment.

Building Around the New Generation's Needs in Imaging, AI and Well-being

To deliver a differentiated premium experience, OPPO will concentrate its investment in three key dimensions that matter the most for the new generation: imaging, AI, and well-being.

Filmmakers captured cultural moments using the Find X10 Series

vivo V80 teases fun AI-powered camera features

Tweet

Smartphone photography is about to get more playful as vivo teases the creative camera features of its upcoming vivo V80, led by Creative Sticker Collage - an AI-powered tool that transforms everyday Live Photos into imaginative, moving compositions.

Set to launch in the Philippines on October 30, the new smartphone will introduce more ways for users to experiment with their photos, explore different styles, and bring their ideas to life straight from the camera.

With Creative Sticker Collage, users can turn their favorite people, pets, and moments into stickers, then combine them with other Live Photos to create scenes limited only by their imagination. A friend can appear riding a paper plane, a beloved pet can become larger than life, or an ordinary snapshot can become a playful creation worth sharing.

The fun does not stop there. The vivo V80 will also bring more AI-powered camera features designed to make creative photography easier and more accessible.

The AI Creative Camera lets users transform the lighting and atmosphere of their photos with a single tap. Styles such as Sunlight, Glow, and Top Lighting offer different ways to enhance a shot, helping users achieve studio-inspired effects without spending time adjusting multiple settings or editing images afterward.

For those who love a touch of nostalgia, CCD Flash Portrait brings a retro-inspired aesthetic to portraits. Combining flash fill-light with CCD-inspired processing, the feature aims to keep faces clear and skin tones natural while adding vintage colors and striking contrast. At night, it helps subjects stand out against a deeper background, creating portraits that capture both the person and the atmosphere of the moment.

These creative tools complement the vivo V80's imaging system, which combines vivo's imaging technology with ZEISS optics to deliver detailed portraits and videos across different scenarios. The smartphone features a 50-megapixel ZEISS OIS Main Camera with optical image stabilization, a 50-megapixel ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera, an ultra-wide-angle camera, and a group selfie camera, giving users more flexibility to capture everything from close-up portraits to group shots and wider scenes.

With its combination of ZEISS-powered imaging, playful photo effects, and AI-assisted creativity, the vivo V80 teases a camera experience that goes beyond simply taking pictures — giving users more ways to experiment, express their personalities, and turn everyday moments into something memorable.

This is only a glimpse of what's in store. The vivo V80 is set to launch on October 30 at 6 pm, with the event livestreamed on the vivo Philippines Facebook page.

vivo V80 Lite now available nationwide, with 3 reasons to own it

Tweet

Customers who pre-ordered the vivo V80 Lite can claim their devices in vivo stores nationwide, where customers lined up on October 17 to get their hands on the Guinness World Records-holding smartphone.

With the device now available for purchase, Filipinos can consider three practical reasons to own it: extended battery life, battery technology designed for demanding conditions, and durability for everyday use.

Priced starting at Php 24,999, the vivo V80 Lite arrives as the Philippines prepares for the effects of a strong El Niño event and continued hot weather. Its features address everyday concerns for users who spend long hours outdoors, commute daily, or need their phones to remain powered through interruptions to their routines.

1.  A large battery for days when power is uncertain

The Department of Energy and climate scientists have warned that the ongoing El Niño event could put additional pressure on the country's energy supply. The phenomenon is expected to peak between October and December 2026 and may persist into the first half of 2027, raising concerns about possible power disruptions.

The vivo V80 Lite features a 10,000mAh BlueVolt battery tested to last more than a day under specified usage conditions. Its reverse-charging capability can also supply power to compatible devices, including other phones and mini fans, offering an additional source of power when outlets are unavailable.

For commuters, outdoor workers, and households managing potential interruptions to electricity, a larger battery can help keep essential mobile functions available for longer without frequent charging.

2.  Battery technology built for demanding temperatures

Extreme heat during Super El Niño is another consideration for Filipinos who rely on their phones throughout the day. Heat can affect battery performance and long-term battery health, making battery design an important factor for people who regularly use their devices outdoors.

The vivo V80 Lite uses a second-generation semi-solid electrolyte battery designed to support stable, reliable endurance in demanding conditions. This can be particularly relevant for people who use navigation, messaging, mobile payments, and other essential applications while traveling or working outside.

While no battery is immune to the effects of extreme temperatures, the technology provides an additional consideration for users choosing a phone for daily use in a hot climate.

3.  Durability for everyday wear and tear

Beyond battery life, the vivo V80 Lite has undergone military-grade durability testing, alongside tests for drops, dust, water, scratches, and wear. These tests provide a basis for evaluating how the device is designed to withstand common challenges associated with daily handling and outdoor use.

For users who regularly commute, travel between locations, or carry their phones throughout demanding workdays, durability can help reduce concerns about routine exposure to everyday hazards. As with any smartphone, however, test results do not mean the device is indestructible, and users should follow the manufacturer's care guidelines.

“The vivo V80 Lite was developed with the realities of everyday life in mind, especially for Filipinos who depend on their phones from the start of the day until they get home. With its large battery, heat-focused battery technology, and tested durability, we want to give consumers practical features they can consider when choosing their next device,” said Liu Lu, vivo Philippines Brand Marketing Director.

Customers who have yet to purchase the vivo V80 Lite can visit their nearest vivo physical store or shop through the vivo e-store and vivo Store app. The smartphone starts at Php 24,999.
