Whether you call it night mode or dark mode, it's a trend that plenty of websites and apps have embraced.

Hulu is joining the party by rolling out Night Mode to all web users. It swaps the traditionally brighter colors of an interface for darker tones, like grey or black. For classic software users or fans of Slack, it's akin to changing the theme.

Night Mode on Hulu's web version changes the whole site, from the homepage to the search box and the show pages. Switching to darker colors can lessen eye strain, but can make consuming content a more immersive experience. Sound like it's up your alley? Night Mode is available for all Hulu users now.

Here's how to enable Night Mode on Hulu Web.

1. Log in to Hulu

4. Break out the popcorn

It's as simple as that. The darker theme will really help to put spooky films in the right mode. Even better, Night Mode will be available year-round, so you can dim the lights and immerse yourself whenever you want.

Happy viewing!
