The game itself is fine if you like that sort of thing, but what makes football exponentially better? Cheerleaders, of course!

So, what makes horror movies exponentially better? Cheerleaders, sometimes! Collected here are the best and best-worst horror movies currently streaming on Tubi that feature cheerleaders!
Cheerleader Horror Movies Streaming on Tubi
1. All Cheerleaders Die (2013)
Why Watch It? Magic, revenge, vampirism, the undead, and cheerleaders. All Cheerleaders Die has it all. It’s also a fun horror-comedy that works as a mash-up of various horror sub-genres.
Official Description: A high school misfit joins the cheerleading squad for revenge against the football captain, but a fatal accident turns the team into the walking dead.
2. Varsity Blood (2014)
Why Watch It? Varsity Blood is an earnest attempt at an old-school style slasher movie, and for that it works well. Expect low-budget effects, but also expect a good time.
Official Description: School’s about to be out forever for a high school’s football team and cheerleaders being targeted by a weapons-loaded killer dressed as their mascot.
3. Deinfluencer (2022)
Why Watch It? Deinfluencer is sort of like a “survival game” movie, but it’s all based around social media and getting likes/followers.
Official Description: Cheerleader Kelly is imprisoned and forced to take part in social media challenges at the behest of her seemingly motivated kidnapper.
4. Teenage Vampire (2020)
Why Watch It? Teenage Vampire is rated TV-PG on Tubi, and it definitely feels like it’s made for a younger (teen/tween) audience. It’s cute, and it’s a nice choice for viewers looking for something lighter, less scary, and with almost no blood.
Official Description: After joining the high school cheerleading squad in order to be cool, Chase and Pam discover that the team is infested with vampires.
5. Vampz (2019)
Why Watch It? Vampz is very silly. It has a homemade quality that will certainly appeal to a particular audience, and the lead actors are all fun to watch.
Official Description: The uneasy friendship a Goth vampire wannabe forms with a ditzy cheerleader backfires when her new friend attracts a psychotic vampire hunter to them.
6. Death of a Cheerleader (1994)
Why Watch It? Death of a Cheerleader is a cult classic made-for-TV movie based on a true story. It’s definitely more of a crime drama than a horror movie, but it does go to some dark places.
Official Description: An investigation into the stabbing of a popular and beautiful cheerleader.
7. The Cheerleader Murders (2016)
Why Watch It? Though not nearly as exploitative as the title might suggest, The Cheerleader Murders is good for fans of Lifetime movies. It’s really more of a mystery/thriller than horror, and it has that made-for-TV aesthetic many people enjoy.
Official Description: When two of her fellow cheerleaders go missing, a teen who believes the events may be connected to a curse launches her own investigation.
8. Lying Eyes (1996)
Why Watch It? Lying Eyes is a made-for-TV movie that has some slasher-type vibes, but without any slashing. So, really, it’s more of a movie about stalking, but maybe not in the way you’d expect.
Official Description: A popular high school cheerleader is romanced by a rich older man. When she learns he’s married and tries to leave him, he vows to kill her.
9. Star Hunter (1996)
Why Watch It? Star Hunter is incredibly campy and dumb, which are its two best attributes. It’s a sci-fi/action/horror movie full of terrible dialogue, no production values, and awful special effects. So, yeah, it’s very entertaining.
Official Description: On their way home from a game, a bus of football players and cheerleaders crosses paths with two killer aliens who just escaped their space prison.
10. Head Cheerleader, Dead Cheerleader (2000)
Why Watch It? Head Cheerleader, Dead Cheerleader is a no-budget slasher movie that borrows heavily from the slasher movies that came before it. This movie is for extremely enthusiastic slasher fans who want to see everything in the sub-genre.
Official Description: A popular head cheerleader learns of her friend’s murder before a big game. When the killer starts calling her directly, everyone becomes suspect.
11. Summerhouse Slaughter (2023)
Why Watch It? There are some amusing gore effects scattered throughout this no-budget slasher, and the movie as a whole is supremely campy.
Official Description: After a cheerleading squad is mutilated to death by sulphuric acid, the sole survivor is left to protect a new troupe against a psychotic panda.
12. The Cheerleader Sleepover Slaughter (2022)
Why Watch It? The Cheerleader Sleepover Slaughter is the type of slasher flick that isn’t afraid to take a three-minute dance break in the middle of the movie for no good reason.
Official Description: When a wannabe cheerleader hosts the annual squad sleepover, the head cheerleader concocts a sinister plan for the night and things go very wrong.
