Screambox: 8 Chilling Movies to Watch on the Horror Streamer
From 'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre' to 'Terrifier 2,' Screambox is your horror film destination this Halloween.
Terrifier 2
We're sure it's a surprise to see a sequel as the first movie on this list, but Terrifier 2 is not a typical sequel. this film continues the gory adventures of Art the Clown, horror's most recent monstrous icon. Frankly, you do not have to have seen the first Terrifier — or the horror anthology film All Hallows' Eve, where Art originated — to appreciate this uber-violent follow-up. Be warned, however, this movie is the sheer definition of "blood and guts" horror.
prevnextSlumber Party Massacre
When it comes to quintessential '80s slashers, no list would be complete without Sorority House Massacre. With a premise that could not more perfectly match its title, this flick finds a group of college sorority sisters trying to survive a bloodthirsty killer. An added bonus with Screambox is that viewers can also do a triple feature with Slumber Party Massacre and Slumber Party Massacre 2.
prevnextThe Collector
As torture horror ran rampant throughout the 2000s, along came The Collector, a tense and original horror thriller about a thief who tragically realizes too late that the home he's attempting to rob is occupied by someone much more dangerous than himself. The movie is directed by Marcus Dunstan, from a script he wrote with his film partner Marcus Dunstan. If those names sound familiar, its because they are behind many of the Saw movies, as well as the recent comedy-horror Unhuman. If you're in the mood for a pre-October horror flick, we think The Collector belongs on your watchlist.
prevnextThe Outwaters
Like other streamers, Screambox often debuts some great exclusive films, one of which is the 2022 found-footage fright-frest, The Outwaters The film was written and directed by Robbie Banfitch, who also stars. The movie is presented as footage found on video camera memory cards that belonged to a group of friends who headed out into the Mojave Desert to shoot a music video. Once there, they are faced with some dangerous phenomena that they never could have imagined.
prevnextChopping Mall
One of the more outlandish '80s horror movies that fans of the genre just have to see is Chopping Mall. The film is about three high-tech shopping mall security robots that go berserk and start killing teenage employees after the mall closes. This one pairs great with Humanoids From the Deep, which is also streaming on Screambox.
prevnextThe Innkeepers
Before he was dominating the horror mainstream with X and Pearl — and the upcoming threequel MaxXxine — writer-director Ti West was cranking out incredible movies like The House of the Devil and The Sacrament. He also crafted the sixth film on our list, The Innkeepers, about two inn employees who attempt to document alleged supernatural activity in the building, during the business' last weekend. We recommend this flick to anyone who is eager for a good ghostly horror movie.
prevnextNightbreed – The Directors Cut
Sometimes it's hard to tell if a director's cut of a movie makes a difference in the narrative, or if it was just a money grab by a studio to make a little extra cash off of the project. In the case of Clive Barker's Nightbreed – The Directors Cut, there is no denying that the director's cut — fully overseen by Barker himself — has a huge impact on how audiences see this classic horror movie. Do not miss this one.
prevnextHouse on Haunted Hill (1959)
Finally, for fans of true vintage classics, Screambox has the original House on Haunted Hill from 1959, starring Vincent Price. This beloved black-and-white movie needs no introduction and is a perfect evening watch this time of year.
