We all look for the perfect scary movie to watch when it comes to spooky season. Whether it’s alone, with family, or your roommates, scary movies are always a good time when it gets to October. Some of these are free while others you might have to rent or buy. Here are a few scary movies that I  thought were good to watch in this spooky season. 

 

Netflix:

  • Insidious 
  • As Above, So Below
  • Cult of Chucky
  • The Boy
  • Sinister
  • Poltergeist 
  • Hush
  • The Bye Bye Man
  • Would You Rather
  • 13 Cameras
  • Mara
  • Don’t Knock Twice
  • Before I Wake
  • Death Note

Hulu:

  • Texas Chainsaw
  • Paranormal Activity
  • Child’s Play
  • Pet Sematary
  • The Quiet Ones
  • Jessabelle
  • Behind You

Amazon Prime:

  • Antebellum
  • Scary Stories 
  • Silent Hill
  • The Strangers Prey at Night
  • Z
  • Saw (multiple)
  • Therapy
  • The Echo
  • Annabelle
  • Halloween
  • The Invisible Man
  • IT
  • The Conjuring
  • Us 
  • Don’t Breathe
  • The Visit

 

If you’re not into the whole “scary movie” vibe, but still want to be in the “spooky season” here are a few movies that are good for you.

 

Disney Plus:

  • Hocus Pocus
  • The Haunted Mansion
  • The Nightmare Before Christmas
  • Frankenweenie
  • COCO
  • Halloweentown
  • Twitches
  • Girl vs Monster
  • Mom’s Got a Date With a Vampire
  • Don’t Look Under the Bed
  • Phantom of the Megaplex
  • The Scream Team

 

Scary movies to me are the best way to slip into October. Once it hits October first my roommate and I watch at least one scary movie a day. I hope that this list is a help to some people who are struggling to find a good scary movie to watch this spooky season. 

 

Enjoy,
