Here is a list of all 31 Creeptober movies, along with links for where you can stream each one. The buttons point to some of the more popular streaming platforms, but we’ve also included a link to JustWatch.com for each movie so you can find other places to watch.

Oct. 1: Halloween (1978)

It’s the quintessential Halloween movie, so of course we’re beginning Creeptober with the original Halloween. If you’re like us, you’ve seen this about a hundred times, but it’s so perfect that it’s always worth watching. It’s also the exact right mood-setter for October.

Oct. 2: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

Gunnar Hansen in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Another classic, and another great mood-setter for the season. We wanted to start the marathon with a couple of all-timers, so The Texas Chain Saw Massacre feels like a natural followup to Halloween.

Oct. 3: Sinners (2025)

Michael B. Jordan in Sinners.

Sinners on JustWatch

Sinners is one of the best movies of the year, so when looking for new films to include in the list, it was an easy choice.

Oct. 4: Bring Her Back (2025)

Jonah Wren Phillips and Sally Hawkins in Bring Her Back.

Bring Her Back on JustWatch

Bring Her Back is our current pick for the best horror movie of 2025. This one can get under your skin if you let it.

Oct. 5: V/H/S/Halloween (2025)

V/H/S/Halloween begins streaming on Shudder on October 3rd.
V/H/S/Halloween on JustWatch

V/H/S is a yearly tradition at this point, so of course we have to watch the newest installment in the franchise.

Oct. 6: Maniac (1980)

Joe Spinell in Maniac

Maniac on JustWatch

Maniac has a bit of splatter and a bit of psychological horror, and it’s one of the most captivating slashers of the 1980s. It might make you feel dirty after watching, but that’s the intention.

Oct. 7: American Mary (2012)

Katharine Isabelle in American Mary.

Katharine Isabelle is a genre icon, and American Mary is one of her best movies.

Oct. 8: Carrie (1976)

Sissy Spacek in Carrie.

Carrie has near-universal acclaim for good reason. It’s a classic that everyone needs to see at least once.

Oct. 9: Suspiria (1977)

Jessica Harper in Suspiria.

Suspiria on JustWatch

Suspiria is a visual and auditory marvel with an incredible style.

Oct. 10: The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2015)

Kiernan Shipka in The Blackcoat's Daughter.

The Blackcoat’s Daughter on JustWatch

With the increased prominence of Osgood Perkins over the past couple of years, now is the perfect time to revisit his feature directing debut.

Oct. 11: Scream (1996)

Ghostface in Scream.

Scream on JustWatch

Scream never gets old. It might be the most perfectly paced slasher movie of all time. It’s definitely one of the best.

Oct. 12: Urban Legend (1998)

Brad Dourif in Urban Legend.

Urban Legend on JustWatch

Some contemporary reviews lambasted Urban Legend for being an imitation of Scream, but is that really a bad thing?

Oct. 13: Wrong Turn (2003)

Jeremy Sisto, Emmanuelle Chriwui, Eliza Dushku, and Desmond Harrington in Wrong Turn.

Wrong Turn on JustWatch

Wrong Turn is one of the best backwoods horror movies of the early 2000s, an era of horror that doesn’t always get enough love or attention.

Oct. 14: The Cabin in the Woods (2011)

Richard Jenkins in The Cabin in the Woods.

The Cabin in the Woods on JustWatch

Smart and silly in equal measures, The Cabin in the Woods is a blast.

Oct. 15: Dead Dudes in the House (1989)

Dead Dudes in the House
Dead Dudes in the House is also known by the titles The Dead Come Home and The House on Tombstone Hill.
Dead Dudes in the House on JustWatch

This is a personal favorite that some people might find very dumb, but “dumb” does not mean “bad” or “boring.” Dead Dudes in the House is lots of fun.

Oct. 16: Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things (1972)

Alam Ormsby and Seth Sklarey in Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things.
Alan Ormsby and Seth Sklarey in Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things.
Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things on JustWatch

Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things is a comedy, until it isn’t. It’s about a theater troupe who try to raise the dead, but they’re not prepared for what happens when their ritual actually works.

Oct. 17: The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018)

The Strangers: Prey at Night
The pool scene is probably the best part of this sequel.
The Strangers: Prey at Night on JustWatch

With the release of The Strangers: Chapter 2, it’s worth going back to take a look at the sequel to the original and seeing which is a better followup.

Oct. 18: Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

Elsa Lanchester in Bride of Frankenstein.

Bride of Frankenstein on JustWatch

Which is better: Frankenstein or Bride of Frankenstein. That’s a difficult question to answer. All we know is that Bride is excellent, and that’s the one we’re watching for Creeptober.

Oct. 19: The Night of the Hunter (1955)

Robert Mitchum in The Night of the Hunter.

The Night of the Hunter on JustWatch

The Night of the Hunter is a fantastic film that is regularly found in “best of” lists. We’ve paired it with Bride of Frankenstein because the two movies do have a connection. The director of The Night of the Hunter, Charles Laughton, was married to the Bride herself, Elsa Lanchester.

Oct. 20: What Lies Beneath (2000)

Michelle Pfeiffer in What Lies Beneath.

What Lies Beneath on JustWatch

Any Halloween movie marathon needs a few good ghost stories, and What Lies Beneath begins a triple-feature of supernatural spookiness.

Oct. 21: The Haunting (1963)

Claire Bloom and Julie Harris in The Haunting.

The Haunting on Justwatch

Is The Haunting the best haunted house movie ever made? Yeah, probably.

Oct. 22: A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)

Moon Geun-young and Lim Soo-jung in A Tale of Two Sisters.

A Tale of Two Sisters on JustWatch

Few movies blend psychological and supernatural horror as well as A Tale of Two Sisters.

Oct. 23: Demons (1985)

A Halloween movie marathon needs some good gore, and Demons delivers that and more.

Oct. 24: Creepshow (1982)

Creepshow
A scene from “Father’s Day,” the first story segment in Creepshow.
Creepshow on JustWatch

Creepshow is pure fun all the way through (well, except maybe for the final story).

Oct. 25: The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Rei Hance (then Heather Donahue) in The Blair Witch Project.

The Blair Witch Project on JustWatch

The Fall vibes are immaculate in The Blair Witch Project. It’s also the prototypical found-footage movie (not the first, but the one most imitated).

Oct. 26: REC (2007)

Manuela Velasco in REC.

REC on JustWatch

Claustrophobic and intense, REC is a found footage masterpiece.

Oct. 27: Murder Party (2007)

Chris Sharp in Murder Party.

Murder Party on JustWatch

Jeremy Saulnier has directed a couple of the best modern thrillers with Blue Ruin (2013) and Green Room (2015). Highlighting his diversity as a filmmaker is Murder Party, a wildly funny comedy about a Halloween party that is actually an attempt to make art out of murder.

Oct. 28: Slither (2006)

Elizabeth Banks and Michael Rooker in Slither.

Slither on JustWatch

James Gunn might be making blockbusters now, but his feature-film directing debut is just as fun as any of his superhero movies.

Oct. 29: Inside (2007)

Béatrice Dalle in Inside.

Inside on JustWatch

Since the movie takes place on Christmas Eve, Inside is our twisted way of signalling the looming start of the Christmas season.

Oct. 30: Hereditary (2018)

Toni Collette in Hereditary.

Hereditary on JustWatch

Regardless of what Ari Aster has done since Hereditary, this is still one of the most gripping horror movies in the modern era.

Oct. 31: Hell House LLC: Lineage (2025)

Hell House LLC: Lineage streams on Shudder beginning October 30th.
Hell House LLC: Lineage on JustWatch

The last movie in the Hell House LLC franchise isn’t found footage, but is it good? If you missed it in theaters, we’ll find out together when it begins streaming at the end of Creeptober.
