Halloween special

The movies to watch for Halloween

Tired of rewatching Scream for the eighth time? Here is a selection that builds up: one horror movie a day, from October 8 to Halloween night. It starts on the fun side with cult slashers, and it ends in broad daylight among the flowers - which is when it gets worse.

Every poster leads to the film's page: rating, vibe, trailer and above all where to watch it tonight - subscription, rental or theater. Hold on until the 31st and Midsommar awaits. Or not.

This year's scares: the new wave is here

Horror is having a great year. Weapons opens on an impossible image: at 2:17 am, all seventeen kids from the same class get up and run into the night - nobody knows why. Bring Her Back confirms that the Philippou brothers, the duo behind Talk to Me, know exactly where to press to make it hurt.

Add Obsession, the teenage wish that curdles into a nightmare, and the Smile double bill if you missed the creepiest grin of the decade. Enough to fill the whole night of the 31st without falling back on a classic - and under every poster, where to watch it tonight.

The grand finale: three that leave scars

To end the challenge properly, three experiences you don't walk away from: the first hypnotizes you, the second traumatizes you, and the last one - Cannibal Holocaust - sent its director to court to prove his actors were still alive. Enjoy your evening.

Questions before Halloween

What horror movie should I watch for Halloween?

Follow the day-by-day selection: 24 films from October 8 to 31, from fun slashers (Freddy, Chucky) to traumatizing ones (Martyrs, Hereditary, Midsommar). Every poster leads to the film's page with its rating, vibe and where to watch it.

What recent horror movie should I watch right now?

This year's talked-about releases: Weapons, Bring Her Back, Obsession, and Smile 1 & 2 if you missed them. Each page shows the platform or theater.

Where can I stream these horror movies?

Under each poster we show the subscription platform when available; the film page lists every current option - streaming, rental or theater.

Which one should I start with if I scare easily?

Take the challenge in order: the first days are fun and retro. The scale climbs - the final days show no mercy.
