Netflix is prepared for Halloween with horror movie offerings for children and adults, but looking in the mix might prove to be a daunting task with the many choices ranging from not-so-scary to classic horror movie.
Netflix is ready for Halloween and viewers who want to watch horror movies. According to Uproxx, Netflix offers a variation of horror movies including "campy and completely non-terrifying titles as well, offering a nice variety for those who may prefer their chills without blood, guts, and chainsaws."
In Netflix' current list of "sub-genre" "Halloween movies," "The Frighteners," "The Adams Family," and "Carrie" movies did not make the cut. However, classics such as "The Silence of the Lambs" made it with 4.1 stars. "World War Z" was also included, despite the debatable identification of the movie as a zombie movie. "Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil," "Odd Thomas," "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "The Crow," "Let the Right One In," "From Dusk Till Dawn," "American Psycho," "The Cabin in the Woods," "Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn," and "Hannibal" were all in the list.
Unreality TV has also come up with a list of recommendations for viewers including the 1968 film "Rosemary's Baby," which is about a young couple who moved to a new apartment, "only to find that there's more than a couple of strange occurrences going on inside the building." "The Blair Witch Project" is another option for those looking for documentary-type horror films. "Scream," The Craft," "Night of the Living Dead," "You're Next," "V/H/S," and "Ju-on: The Grudge" can prepare viewers for the "spookiest day of the year" and even into November, suggests the site.
Netflix does offer a selection of horror movies, which Wired even likens to a "bargain bin." To help viewers decide on which ones to watch, the website has listed its pick of the 13 horror flicks to make "your skin crawl." The list includes "Event Horizon," "Stitches," "Pontypool," "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane," "I Saw the Devil," "Resolution," "You're Next," "Antiviral," "V/H/S 2," "All Cheerleaders Die," "We Are What We Are," "Maniac," and "Drag Me to Hell." Some are underappreciated movies such as "Event Horizon" and Amber Heard's movie "All The Boys Love Mandy Lane," which should have been released in 2006, but was only released last year, shares Wired.
