As the Halloween season approaches an end, it is now time to hang up the Christmas lights, put out the cornucopia in the middle of the table, and start blaring the 24/7 Christmas music radio station. That should not stop you from watching a good scary movie, though.
Surprisingly, Netflix has a great number of scary movies to watch. Some may be taken down once November begins, but you may have time to watch some of these.
1. Hush
This movie is 10/10 scary good. It keeps you on your feet every second, and you even find yourself yelling at some points because you cannot stand the antagonist. It is different than a horror movie that you would watch with your friends on movie night; no simple plot, 10 minute running away scene, none of that. This movie will give you a good scare, but it is so worth the watch. (Available on Netflix).
2. Scream 2
(Okay, before you watch this one, make sure you have seen the first movie. It will make more sense to you.)
The Scream movies will keep you wondering who the killer is. If you have not watched this (or any of the movies), now is the time you do. This is a good movie to watch any time of the year, since it is not set during the season of Halloween. It is a bit creepy too. What normal person calls you and asks what your favorite scary movie is? (Available on Netflix).
3. Heathers
Before I watched this, I was confused as to why it was considered a horror movie. Then I watched it, and you will see why Netflix and Hulu place it under this category once you watch it, too. Heathers is a suspenseful movie with all kinds of twists and turns. There is a even a musical version of it, so that probably makes it even better. This movie is scary at points, but it will keep you on edge. (Available on Netflix and Hulu).
4. The Amityville Horror
Both versions of this movie are pretty great. I do, however, prefer the 2005 version, but only because I love Ryan Reynolds. I think both movies have their strengths and weaknesses. The newer one seems more unrealistic at some points, because it is a bit over exaggerated, and the older is a bit slower to get in to, but both are great. Paranormal movies are always great to watch whenever. It does not need to be Halloween to get spooked by a ghost. (1979 version available on Hulu/ 2005 version available on Netflix and Hulu).
5. The Blair Witch Project
This is the original Paranormal Activity. It is one of the best, and scariest, horror movies. When it was made in 1999, it was so different than other movies coming out, and some people even thought that this movie was an actual documentary. It seems more believable than the paranormal movies that come out today, which makes it even better. (Available on Hulu).
