Sometimes you hear people mention “Netflix horror” like it’s a bad thing—and sometimes that’s correct. But the quality-to-quantity ratio among the 219 horror movies on Netflix (and its 43 horror TV series) ain’t that bad. And here’s what else Netflix has going for it in the spooks department:
- Scores of Netflix Originals
- Dozens of horror series
- Strong international horror selection
- Creep series
- Fear Street Series
So coming up with 31 horror movies to watch on Netflix in October was a snap (somewhere, a bone breaks)!
We kick things off with the romantic slasher Heart Eyes from earlier this year, then the Spanish ghost story Veronica before getting into a horror-comedy weekend with Day Shift , Creep, and Creep 2 . And we have three more double- and triple-feature weekends for you: Modern horror (Smile and Cobweb), infected zombies (28 Days Later, 28 Years Later, and Train to Busan), and finally an international slasher two-fer with both Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight movies.
And, on Halloween, we have the original Tobe Hooper classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), to leave you panting with fear over your pillow case (or gigantic salad bowl) fulla candy.
