8 Classic Horror Movies Streaming on Netflix in October
There are so many horror movies on Netflix this month that you can afford to be a little picky with your selections. We've called out the ones with the best reviews, but if you're in the mood for something a little older, we can help you out. Forget sorting through all the insane B-movies on Netflix, this is your list of the best classic movies streaming now.
Children of the Corn
Even Stephen King's short stories translate to terrifying full-length pictures. Children of the Corn, from 1984, is about a group of murderous children, so expect to say goodbye to restful sleep for a bit.
Hellraiser
Contrary to more or less mindless killers like Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers, Hellraiser introduces a monster that's intellectual, somehow elegant, and very, very deadly. The 1985 film is available, along with two sequels.
From Dusk Till Dawn
George Clooney was still rocking his Caesar cut when he starred in Robert Rodriguez's iconic vampire movie. This is pushing the boundaries of "classic," but this year marks its 20th anniversary!
The Fly
A mad scientist is determined to perfect his teleportation device, so much so that he uses himself as an experiment. Unbeknownst to him, a fly has also entered the chamber, and his foolish mistake has deadly consequences. This is the 1958 original, not to be confused with the Jeff Goldblum version!
Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Though this 1994 sequel lacks Johnny Depp, it extends Freddy's legacy way past the initial movie. The villain is back, and he's pissed. Get ready for 1994 special effects and TV-movie-level acting.
Jaws 1-3 and Jaws: The Revenge
Relive all your horrible sea-based nightmares with all the Jaws movies, beginning with the 1975 original! Summer is over, so it's probably safe now.
The Crow
In a freak accident, star Brandon Lee was famously killed on the set of this 1994 film. He played a man resurrected from the grave to avenge the horrific murder of his fiancée.
Re-Animator
This 1985 retelling of H.P. Lovecraft's gruesome tale is shocking gory. It may not scare you, but you'll definitely be cringing at the talking head.
