These Are the Best Halloween Movies on Netflix

Some people thrive in the summer months. But you? Who needs Vitamin D? Some of us are already counting down the days until October, when it's formally time to get your scare on. (Though we support year-round horror fans wholeheartedly.) That’s why it’s important to have streaming sites like Netflix at the ready, with extensive libraries of horror movies so you can have a build-your-own Halloween movie marathon any night old night. (Or, every night.) You won’t need to conjure any spirit guides to build your watch list. We’ve already summoned the best of Netflix’s spooky and supernatural selections (along with some scaredy-cat-friendly gems) for a perfect shriek-fest.

So dive in (we really recommend you start with His House), and when your lazy friends come around later in the fall with the question, "Which scary movie should we tackle first?" you already have an arsenal of choices prepared to scare the hell out of them.
