Best Horror Movies on Every Streaming Service

ByPeter Gardner

It’s spooky season! There’s no better way to greet the chill of fall than by curling up, dimming the lights, and watching a scary movie. I combed through Metacritic’s all-time top horror movies to see which services offer the best thrills.

To my surprise, free streaming services offer the best horror lineup. Kanopy (61 top-rated horror titles), Tubi (45), Hoopla (38), and Pluto TV (33) have more great scary movies than the paid services. Also remember that Kanopy is ad-free, which is crucial for the full horror experience.
