Finally, a holiday that makes watching people get chased around with knives onscreen socially acceptable. Check out our curated list of horror movies and series for maximum thrills and goosebumps this Halloween.
Sinners
Sinners (2025) plunges twin brothers back into their 1930s hometown, where hopes for a fresh start collide with a deadly, supernatural force. Packed with dark twists, suspense, and spine-chilling horror, the film explores family, redemption, and dark secrets that refuse to stay buried.
28 Years Later
28 Years Later (2025), the third chapter in the iconic zombie saga, picks up nearly three decades after the original rage virus outbreak. Survivors live under strict quarantine on a small island, but when one dares to cross into the mainland, he uncovers a terrifying new mutation—one that threatens not only the infected, but humanity itself.
What We Do In The Shadows
There's an excellent double whammy here: a movie that came out in 2014 and a series that currently has 6 seasons. What We Do in the Shadows follows four hopelessly out-of-touch vampires trying to “blend in” while living together on Staten Island. Between petty roommate squabbles, run-ins with humans, and supernatural fiascos, their attempt at modern immortality is both macabre and hilarious.
Santa Clarita Diet
Santa Clarita Diet is a hilarious Netflix horror series starring Drew Barrymore as Sheila Hammond, a suburban mom who turns undead and develops a taste for human flesh. Across three seasons, she and her husband, Joel, navigate real estate, family life, and hiding her new and unusual appetite. It's weird, it's whacky, and we love it.
Until Dawn
Until Dawn (2025) follows Clover and her friends as they venture to the remote valley where her sister disappeared, searching for answers. Inside an abandoned visitor centre, a masked killer begins picking them off—only for them to mysteriously wake up at the start of the night, trapped in a terrifying timeloop of survival.
The Monkey
After discovering their father’s old toy monkey in the attic, twins Hal and Bill are haunted by a series of chilling deaths. Hoping to escape the curse, they discard the toy and go their separate ways. When the killings begin again, they must face the sinister force they thought they had left behind.
Weapons
Weapons (2025) is a mystery horror film set in Maybrook, Pennsylvania, where seventeen third-grade students vanish under eerie circumstances. Teachers and parents band together to discover that a witch has turned the children into mindless weapons. The film blends supernatural horror, blood rituals, and a twist-filled narrative to keep you on the edge of your seat.
