13 to 16 horror films recommended for streaming this Halloween

Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 30 Oct, 16:25 · Archive

Multiple outlets have compiled lists of horror films available to stream over Halloween, ranging from established classics to lesser-known gems.

With Halloween fast approaching, major media outlets have published guides to horror films available on streaming platforms to help viewers find something to watch during the spooky season.

HuffPost UK and Metro have each compiled lists of 13 films, whilst the Evening Standard recommends 16 hidden-gem horrors and the New York Post suggests 11 creepy films. The recommendations range from established classics to lesser-known offerings that outlets suggest will appeal to viewers who feel they have already exhausted the obvious choices.

Amongst the titles receiving mentions are established classics such as Night of the Living Dead, Rosemary's Baby, Carrie, The Shining and Scream. The Evening Standard also highlights films such as The Tunnel, a found-footage horror following a film crew exploring abandoned Sydney train tunnels, and a French zombie thriller shot in one continuous take.

The articles describe these lesser-known films as offering psychological terror, supernatural chills and inventive storytelling rather than relying solely on gratuitous violence or jump-scares. The Evening Standard notes that some films combine psychological trauma with supernatural horror, whilst others blend pitch-black humour with mounting dread.

The films are distributed across multiple streaming services. Night of the Living Dead is available on Tubi, Plex and Amazon Prime Video. Metro reports that Hallowarrior, a recent film starring Milly Shapiro, is available on Shudder. The outlets suggest that viewers can find fresh frights whether watching alone or with friends, though they caution that some selections may prove genuinely disturbing.
