The Best Halloween Movies on Netflix
The Conjuring 2 (2016)
What’s Halloween without a trip to a haunted house? This terrifying tale creates some fresh spins on classic possession-style horror, and it introduces the supremely creepy character of The Nun.
It (2017)
It deals with the collective and individual childhood fears of a group of relatable misfits, making it a solid movie to watch during a holiday season that inspires kids to explore their fears every year.
The Babysitter (2017)
The Babysitter is a perfect teen horror-comedy to watch with friends on Halloween night. In the film, a boy discovers his perfectly amazing babysitter (Samara Weaving) is actually part of a Satanic cult that dabbles in human sacrifice.
Gerald’s Game (2017)
If you’re looking for something a bit more cerebral, or maybe something chilling to watch with your significant other, Gerald’s Game is for you. Carla Gugino stars as a woman whose husband dies while they are in the midst of some roleplay, leaving her cuffed to a bed.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019)
Scary but not too scary, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is packed with nostalgia for certain age groups. For everyone else, it’s an entertaining supernatural horror movie that uses the motivation of a really bad Halloween night as its starting point.
Hubie Halloween (2020)
In Hubie Halloween, Adam Sandler stars as a simple-minded man who loves Halloween almost as much as he loves keeping his town safe. It’s one of Sandler’s best comedies in years, and it may turn into a light and goofy classic of the season given enough time.
Fear Street: Part One – 1994 (2021)
This nostalgic take on teen slasher movies and supernatural horror is bloodier and more violent than you might expect given its young-adult source material. It’s an easy choice for a Halloween triple-feature with its sequels set in 1978 and 1666.
