With Friday 13th just passed and Halloween just weeks away, this October is already feeling spooky. So why not lean into the atmosphere and give yourself some chills?
If you’re feeling brave though, you could tackle these horror movies that are all classics of the genre. Just don’t watch them alone, and don’t eat any cheese before bed (sorry I’m sounding quite bossy). Here are 15 horror movies, old and new, to see you through to Halloween across thebest streaming services.
1. Friday the 13th

The first instalment in the slasher series that just won’t die is undoubtedly the best, while some of the later entries might even fall into so bad it’s good territory. Summer camp might seem like fun and games, but when there’s a killer on the loose, it doesn’t exactly match the holiday vibe.
Friday the 13this only available to rent on VOD in the UK, while US viewers can stream it on Max or Paramount+.
2. Alien
3. Happy Death Day

4. The Thing
John Carpenter’s masterpiece is another that’ll keep you awake at night. Working on a remote base in Antarctica is hard enough but when anyone could be The Thing, it’s probably time to start firing out a few resumes. Kurt Russell and Keith David star in this graphic classic that is guaranteed to give you trust issues and probably a few flamethrower burns.
The Thingis only available to rent or buy on VOD in the UK but is streaming onPeacock and AMC+ stateside.
5. Tucker and Dale vs Evil

A personally favourite of mine, this is a goofy horror comedy that subverts a host of genre tropes. Hillbillies Tucker and Dale are just a couple of normal guys looking to get through the day in their remote woodland cabin. They can’t help it if teenagers keep getting into horrific accidents around them. A farce of the highest order and more gory than scary if you’re a fraidy cat.
You can streamTucker and Dale Vs Evilon ITVX in the UK orAmazon PrimeVideo in the US.

With the whole family round for Christmas things always go wrong, but not normally like this. Suddenly the house becomes completely covered in a black substance and impossible to leave. The only communication of what’s going on? A message on the TV to stay indoors and await further instructions. What unfolds is a genuinely horrifying story far worse than any family gathering you’ve had.
StreamAwait Further Instructionson Shudder in the UK and Prime Video in the US.
8. Cloverfield
A found-footage masterpiece,Cloverfieldis a twisted take on the Godzilla style Kaiju genre. With a monster destroying Manhattan, we follow a group of friends desperate to flee the city. This is an iconic disaster movie that alongsideThe Blair Witch Projecthas inspired countless imitators. The found-footage style is stylish but also incredibly sincere and you can’t help but feel immersed in this action packed apocalypse. Also check out10 Cloverfield Lane.
StreamCloverfieldon Paramount+ or Sky TV in the UK. Paramount+ should be your first choice in the US.
9. Get Out

Jordan Peele’s psychological horror won the Best Screenplay Oscar and it’s easy to see why. What looks like an ordinary tale of a man meeting hi girlfriend’s family soon devolves into something much, much more disturbing. This is a great example of horror being used for social commentary and a must-watch for fans of the genre. Daniel Kaluuya is exceptional.
You can rentGet Outon a range of VOD services in the UK while those in the US can watch on Netflix.
10. Cabin in the Woods
If you’re a horror movie buff thenThe Cabin In The Woodsis coming for you. This meta take on the genre is far more than the stereotypical slasher that it resembles. Chris Hemsworth is the most high-profile name in a cast that seems to fill all of the horror tropes. I won’t say anymore.
UK viewers can watchThe Cabin In The Woodson Sky while American movie buffs can stream on Max.

Before the twisted traps ofSaw, there wasCube. A group of strangers wake up in a futuristic prison where every room resembles a white cube. Of course that would be too easy to traverse, almost every one is fitted with a horrific new trap. But how did our heroes get here? And why are they connected?Cubeis streaming on Prime Video in the UK and Hoopla or Tubi in the US.

Anyone who has ever worked in the service industry will get a twisted kick out of this movie that stars Nicholas Hoult, Anya-Taylor Joy and Ralph Fiennes.You can catchThe MenuonDisney+ in the UK or Hulu in the US.
