11 of the best horror movies, TV shows to stream on Netflix this Halloween – KSAT San Antonio

Since Halloween only comes around once a year, youve got to get your horror film binge-watching in while you can.

While a Halloween-themed movie like Hocus Pocus can be fun to take in, there is nothing better than getting a good scare on your couch.

Thankfully, Netflix has a slew of horror films. There are classics that defined the genre, and a ton of new scary movies that are blockbuster hits.

Take a look at some of our favorite creepy movies that just might make you scream in horror:

This horror series from Netflix has people squirming and freaked out. Netflixs adaptation of the story starts out more like a family drama, but slowly turns into scary thrills. Someone even described it as a spooky version of This Is Us.

This may not be one of the original Scream movies, but these are almost just as good. MTV started a Scream TV show, with every episode being a different horror plot, much like how American Horror Story works (more on that next).

Who knew when producer Ryan Murphy created American Horror Story back in 2011 that it would still be around today? AHS gives fans twisted and horrifying takes on popular horror genres.

Theres been a haunted house, a coven, an apocalypse, an insane asylum and more. Actors such as Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates show up multiple times as different characters throughout this anthology series, and its hard to imagine the landscape of TV without it. You can binge all the seasons on Netflix.

When Netflix announced it was creating a new version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, children of the 90s collectively got super excited.

What Netflix delivered, however, is far from the Melissa Joan Hart teen comedy we were expecting. Instead, Netflix went full horror with Sabrina, and based the series off the Sabrina comic book strip. Its a more devilish version of Sabrina, and Kiernan Shipka (who you may remember as little Sally Draper in Mad Men) is having so much fun playing this devilish version of Sabrina. Its a must-watch.

Theres a reason so many of Stephen Kings books end up as movies. His novella, called 1922 was made into a movie in 2017 and joins the countless other King movies that defy the horror genre. The movie is about a father who convinces his son to help kill his wife, only to have it all blow up in his face, as hes haunted by the memory of his dead spouse. Its a chilling story, and one youll want to watch this Halloween.

Youd think that an invite to an intimate dinner party would be completely normal, but not in this movie.

The story follows a man who is visiting his ex-wifes house for a dinner party with old friends and his new girlfriend. Just like any good horror film, things become ... a lot different once the party begins.

Clearly, the kids in this movie never learned from their parents not to go into a creepy, abandoned house, because thats exactly what happens in this thriller.

Once the group of teens breaks into this creepy house, you can probably assume who shows up to wreak havoc on them. Its basically Hocus Pocus, except a whole lot scarier.

This Netflix original series came out in early October and had people who love scary movies hooked right away. The series is a follow-up to The Haunting of Hill House, and is the second installment in The Haunting series.

Much like other horror TV series, its an anthology, so the seasons arent related. If you liked Hill House, you will love Bly Manor.

Just like the Scream movies, we wish all of the Chucky movies were on Netflix, but Cult of Chucky is the newest installment of the horror franchise -- and its pretty scary. Plus, there is a cameo from the brilliant Jennifer Tilly, who plays Chuckys girlfriend, Tiffany.

Is there anything better than Rob Zombie and a scary movie? This 2003 horror film was Zombies directorial debut, and its a whacky ride. If youve never seen it, its a dark comedy horror film, and comedic actors like Rainn Wilson from The Office and Chris Hardwick are even in it.

Sometimes the scariest thing can be silence, and Hush" does an incredible job of freaking you out using your sense of hearing. A deaf woman has to try and escape from a person who is trying to break in to her home and kill her. Its thrilling, and it will undoubtedly have your heart racing.

This is a no-brainer during the month of October, right?

Some might even argue that its one of the best scary movies ever made. Jodie Fosters Oscar-winning performance still holds up, and Anthony Hopkinss Hannibal Lector is legendary. Its also a great way to introduce the movie to a future horror-loving film nerd like yourself.

Enjoy!
