The Best Horror Movies To Stream On Netflix

October is my favorite month. Dressing up for Halloween parties, eating way too much candy, scary decorations—it’s the best time of the year. But easily my absolute most favorite part of October is the excuse to watch as many horror movies as possible. Sadly, there’s only one weekend left.

Fortunately, NetflixNFLX
has a bevy of horror options you can burn through before the month is up. I scoured through every Halloween movie on Netflix to pick out the best options. Hopefully you can find a gem in here that appeals to you.
