Sometimes, especially when Halloween crawls closer, we just want to watch something scary, feel a bit spooked, and shake things up with what we watch. So, for the thrill of it, we've listed some of the best streaming services you can use to find some of the best horror movies ever made. Some of these sites won't be a surprise– after all, it's already in the name with Shudder and Screambox– but we've also listed some mainstream platforms for new viewers who want to dip their toes into the genre before jumping onto a horror-exclusive site.
Hulu is the smaller of the big three on-demand streaming services, but it’s the only one also offering Live TV. You’ll still find several thousand TV shows and movies available through the on-demand Hulu service, often only a day after new episodes have aired. And as with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, Hulu is investing big in original hit shows.

Tubi TV is one of the most fantastic on-demand services around, hands down. With over 4,000 titles in the US and many more in its UK and Canada content libraries, Tubi TV is a great, free on-demand service. Everything from quality TV shows and movies to anime are available. Now that FoxEntertainment owns Tubi, the company has started to shift gears on the streaming service by adding Live TV to the mix.

Similar to Paramount+, subscribers will be able to watch local NBC broadcasts, as well as original NBC shows that will be exclusive to Peacock.

It's rare for a streaming service to be the only game in town. As such, Shudder has competition in Screambox, which provides a hefty amount of horror films and suspense-filled thrillers.
