Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Horror Streaming List 2017

Do you hear that? The eery, echoing sound at your front door. No, not the Christmas music! The other sound! The cries of the damned as they scratch at the freshly-painted wood, begging for an invitation. You're lucky, though, there's 31 days until you absolutely have to roll out the rotten red carpet for those ghoulies and beasties, and until then your porch is still reserved for the realm of the living.

While we wait, why don't we grab some popcorn together, switch on the tv, and check out what Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon have to offer for the season?

Note: Some Amazon instant watch options on this list come through the Shudder subscription add-on, which really is worth the extra 5 dollars a month. Some of these movies have been featured on past lists, and some may be too horrible to sit through. That's what wine is for, my friends. Wine and unsuspecting friends.

Netflix/Hulu Instant Horror Watch 2016

It's that time of year again. The Fog rolls in on your dvd shelf, eery Carpenter tunes playing as it awaits Halloween, while the echoes of 'Trick 'R Treat' can almost be heard outside your front door, and The Thing becomes Ravenous for Popcorn...yet, at the same time you wonder why these film references I just made seem to be disproportionately John Carpenter titles and a few other random titles thrown in. It's like this game is Child's Play, a veritable Witches of Eastwick...

Okay, that last one didn't make sense at all, even as a play on words. Anyway, this October I decided to not only post the instant watch list on time (for once), but mix it with some Hulu for variety. Alas and alack, it's mainly because Netflix really didn't roll out with much for horror this October...and the proportion of films I actually wanted to watch that I hadn't seen...well, this just seemed to be a little bit less painful. So, without further ado, the list begins...
