Top 10 Horror Movies You Can Stream on Netflix This October 2025 🎃

1. The Strangers (2008)

Home invasion terror at its finest. Three masked killers, zero motives, and one unforgettable line: “Because you were home.”

2. Saw (2004)

James Wan’s indie nightmare that started a franchise. Grimy, brutal, and capped with one of the greatest twist endings in horror.

3. The Conjuring (2013)

Ghosts, basements, demon nuns - this one turned the Warrens into horror icons. And yes, the clap-clap scene will still ruin your sleep.

4. Night of the Living Dead (1968)

The zombie apocalypse starts here. George A. Romero’s low-budget masterpiece is as chilling and socially relevant as ever.

5. Dracula (1979)

Frank Langella’s take on the Count is pure gothic atmosphere: moody, romantic, and bloody in all the right ways.

6. Death Becomes Her (1992)

Okay, it’s camp horror. But with Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn fighting over immortality potions, who cares? Twisted, funny, and gloriously weird.

7. Poltergeist (1982)

“They’re heeere!” Spielberg-produced, endlessly parodied, still one of the most effective haunted-house films ever made.

8. Annabelle (2014)

Because what’s a Halloween binge without at least one evil doll? Creepy, underrated, and a must for fans of the Conjuring universe.

9. The Ring (2002)

Don’t watch the tape. Don’t answer the phone. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Naomi Watts leads the American remake that defined early-2000s horror.

10. Netflix’s New Horror Documentary (2025)

The wild card: a brand-new doc diving into true unsolved mysteries and urban legends. Sometimes, real life is scarier than anything scripted.

Final Thought

Whether you want classic zombies, haunted houses, or campy dark comedy, Netflix’s October 2025 lineup is basically daring you to sleep with the lights off. Just remember: if you’re watching The Strangers and there’s a knock on your door, maybe don’t answer it.
