What is undoubtedly the most terrifying time of the year has arrived. Halloween is here, the preludes to Christmas, teenage parties that turn into an unparalleled hunt for a serial killer... I don't know, there's something about the atmosphere that seems terrifying, don't you think?
This year we are going to make things easy for you, We bring you a compilation with the best horror movies to enjoy Halloween with Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video or Movistar+. Get ready for a terrifying Halloween night thanks to our recommendations, although we also have content for the whole family.
The Hills Have Eyes
Without serving as a precedent, we are going to start with a film that for the moment only is available on Disney+. A horror classic that cannot be missed on these important dates. Although many will tell you to go to the Wes Craven classic, released in 1977, personally I prefer the 2006 remake, with its mutants, the family kidnapped on a long highway in the United States and a lot of suspense.
Someone who has traveled part of the United States by car like me, could not stop looking at the distant mountains thinking about what could happen.
Midsummer
Another almost cult movie, despite its recent release. In 2019 we were able to enjoy this psychological horror thriller, with a hodgepodge of feelings. A curious festival that takes place once every ninety years in Sweden, in a place where the sun never sets… what could go wrong?
I would say everything or almost everything. Midsommar has agreed with locals and strangers for the quality of its script, the fear it conveys and its creativity. You can enjoy it on Amazon Prime Video with 4K resolution to enjoy every detail.
It
The movie of the most Machiavellian clown that you can face. You will never see the balloons, the yellow raincoats and the abandoned houses with the same eyes, but what I am most sure of is that You will never see clowns like those cute and friendly little characters again.
The 2017 remake seems to me the most interesting option to enjoy at home taking advantage of the HDR functions. Available on HBO Max and Amazon Prime Video, a classic re-made in the most appropriate way. Also, if you feel like it, you can take a look at the second part.
Rosemary's Baby
The ration of religion and eschatological terror could not be missing. We are going to a classic among classics, El Exorcist. Released in 1973, it has been a source of authentic nightmares for several generations, creating a strange aura about the priest who gave us our First Communion. We have all thought: Does this priest also practice exorcisms?
You can enjoy it on Amazon Prime Video and on HBO Max, but it would be appropriate to create an environment prior to its viewing, always bearing in mind that the film was released approximately 30 years ago, putting the proper context to the production and appreciating the merit behind it.
Alien, the eighth passenger
We cannot deny that between 1975 and 1990 true magic was made in horror movies, especially considering the means they had. We are going now to space with Alien, the eighth passenger. I don't want to spoil, but there are actually seven passengers on the ship... I'll leave the rest to you.
Accompany Ripley on the Nostromo cargo ship, enjoy the darkness and the constant tension that at any moment you can have one of the most unpleasant deaths you can imagine, completely devoured by an Alien. You can enjoy this and all the movies in the saga on Disney+.
The Ring – The signal
With the role of Naomi Watts and Martin Henderson, The Ring It is another of the classics that we cannot miss on Halloween. This investigative journalist delves into an urban legend about a videotape and a series of terrifying events that happen right after watching it.
A movie that can be seen well on HBO Max, without too much terror but enough to keep you glued to the screen with your popcorn, one of the most affordable movies from the top that we have brought you today.
insidious
Available on Netflix and HBO Max. It tells the story of Josh and his wife Reani who move into an old house. We start with the accidents that are difficult to explain, the appearances and the harassment of something that seems to be the real and true evil.
From the creators of the Saw saga (James Wan and Leigh Whannell), they seek in this horror film to pull on clichés that work extremely well, with great photography and setting, the fear you feel is real... will you have company?
The Blair Witch project
A film with an aura of controversy due to its marketing at the time of its release, since in 1999 it was sponsored as "found material" and not as a fiction film, which created a lot of curiosity. It tells the story of three students who have nothing else to do but investigate a murder in the solitude of a forest, what could go wrong? This movie is not available for streaming
babadoock
Six years after the violent death of her husband, Amelia (Essie Davis) is still lost trying to educate Samuel (Noah Wiseman), her six-year-old son, who lives in terror of a monster that appears in his dreams and threatens to kill them. When a haunting storybook called "The Babadook" shows up at his house, Samuel is convinced that the Babadook is the creature he's been dreaming about. When his hallucinations spiral out of control, he becomes unpredictable and violent.
You can enjoy it on Amazon Prime Video at full resolution
