We don’t have to tell you to, “Be afraid, be very afraid!” of the Netflix horror movies streaming right now. Just looking at the promos for them left us shaking and needing to call our moms. You can prepare for blood, guts, gore, and lots and lots of screaming in these movies. From stories about terrorizing young children (hello Jacob Tremblay!) to films loosely based on real events, you might not want to watch any of these alone. So, after gathering friends and plenty of snacks, hold tightly onto your popcorn because you might jump once or twice (or let’s be real, thrice). You are all in for one wild, adrenaline-pumping ride.
There are several familiar faces in these movies, including Kate Beckinsale, Kate Bosworth, James Franco, and Matt Bomer, to name a few. And trust that there are even more ghosts, demons, and dark spirits who want to kill them. From crazed and murderous clowns to creepy dolls, there’s a terrifying surprise in store within all of these Netflix horror movies. If you’re worried about disturbing your neighbors because of your horrified screams, you might want to consider watching a more toned-down, fun Halloween-themed movie.
