The best way to watch a horror movie is from the comfort of your own home. For the faint of heart, it offers a haven from the theater's jump scares and intense visuals. This is your home turf! You can fast forward or even abandon ship without sacrificing the price of a ticket. Of course, for the thrill seekers, it also offers a chance for an immersive experience.

Fresh
Fresh follows Noa, a young woman in a dating slump. After she pledges to be single, she meets a charming man at her local grocery store. They hit it off and begin a whirlwind romance. Everything about him seems perfect... until Noa discovers his ravenous secret.
Clock
Some people want children. Others do not! Though this is a generally accepted fact, Clock explores what might happen if the pressure to procreate became all-consuming. The film follows a woman who is not drawn to motherhood. After being coerced by friends and family, she partakes in a clinical trial that promises to awaken her maternal instinct.
All My Friends Hate Me
In All My Friends Hate Me, a man named Pete joins his estranged college pals for a weekend trip. When he arrives, he can’t shake the feeling that everyone is mad at him. Sure enough, his suspicions turn deadly when the group plots his demise.
Run
Run follows a girl named Chloe who was raised to be entirely dependent on her mother. When she becomes a teenager, Chloe realizes she doesn’t know anything about the woman who takes care of her. Desperate for answers, she digs into her mothers past and discovers a frightening secret.
The Last Exorcism
In The Last Exorcism Reverend Cotton Marcus decides to come clean about conducting false exorcisms. In order to do so, he hires a documentary team to film his next job and capture his trickery on camera. The only issue is that he’s been tasked with helping a young girl who is actually possessed. Don’t you hate when that happens?
Little Monsters
Acclaimed actress Lupita Nyong’o proves that Us is just the beginning of her growing horror canon in this hybrid horror-rom-com. The Australian flick follows the strangest field trip ever, featuring a charming kindergarten teacher (Nyong’o), a man child, and a class of children who hit an unforeseeable difficulty: a zombie outbreak.
The Cabin in the Woods
Directed by Drew Goddard, The Cabin in the Woods takes everything you might expect from a movie about young friends vacationing in a remote location and subverts it. From zombies to malevolent outer forces, this horror comedy features performances from Kristen Connelly, Chris Hemswroth, Jesse Williams, and Richard Jenkins.
The Last Exorcism
It’s great to know religious people are supportive of film and journalism. A minister allows a documentary crew to film him performing the final exorcism of his career. It doesn’t take a horror expert to predict that this is the perfect set-up for things going completely wrong.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
Mysterious seeds floating from the sky kind of sounds lovely, unless those seeds carry body snatchers that take over the lives of everyone in their path. This movie is from the late ’70s, though, so those special effects probably help things from being too terrifying.
Rosemary’s Baby
This classic from 1968 features Mia Farrow as a newlywed who mysteriously gets pregnant. She’s also living next door to some neighbors who seem fishy at best, so that’s probably a clue.
