The 15 Best Horror Movies on Hulu
Nothing soothes the soul quite like an at-home movie night. Remember when Nicole Kidman talked about that “indescribable feeling when the lights begin to dim”? Well, you don’t have to go to AMC for that. The lights in your living room work just as well.
Seriously—what’s better than grabbing a bowl of popcorn and a beer, then cozying up on the couch for two hours? Not a damn thing. For today’s purposes, though, we’re suggesting you do all of that with a horror movie. In advance of Halloween (it’s less than three months away, people), we’re rounding up the best scary movies on Max, Netflix, and, in this case, Hulu.
Below, you’ll find a bit of everything. There’s sci-fi horror, like the alien-invasion films No One Will Save You and Alien. There are ghosts and demons, as seen in The First Omen and The Boogeyman. There’s even a bit of psychological warfare (we’re looking at you, Get Out), and if you have a strong stomach, you can test your limits with Fresh. No matter what you pick, these fifteen films are sure to scare the crap out of you.
