8 Best Horror Movies to Stream on Hulu This Halloween Season

Looking for a scary movie this October? Look no further than Hulu! Subscribers getting ready to cozy up on the couch and dim the lights for a Halloween movie marathon can delve deep into Hulu’s surprisingly impressive and deep catalog of horror films.

The Disney-backed streamer has put an emphasis on the horror genre in recent years, even going so far as to do away with its former “horror and suspense” category to dedicate a complete standalone category on its platform to the genre. That category grows monthly with new arrivals, and features a mix of beloved classics like The Sixth Sense, recent hits like Barbarian and Late Night with the Devil, and even Hulu originals, such as the recent Kaitlyn Dever-starring flick No One Will Save You.

Watching the roster of content, as well as the content already available on the platform, will require a Hulu subscription. Hulu currently offers a free one-month trial, meaning you can test the waters before committing. After that, subscriptions start as low as $9.99 per month for an ad-supported plan, with Hulu’s ad-free tier priced at $18.99 per month. Keep scrolling to see what movies you should be adding to your 2024 Halloween must-watch list.
