Everybody certainly has their own choice when it comes to the best horror movies guaranteed to send chills down their spine. But you know what? They are perfect for year-round viewing. Yes, honestly! Even when the sun is shining, sometimes we just feel the need to curl up under the covers and test our spooky limits with some of the most terrifying flicks out there.

Can we finally watch that scariest horror movie without hiding behind the cushions? Can we face watching that scary new movie everyone has been raving about? And can we manage that slasher favourite while being home all alone…? (The jury’s out on that one.)

But honestly, we are spoilt for choice when it comes to good horror movies, as they fall into so many different subgenres. Whether it’s horror movies with some of our favourite actors (think Sophie Wilde in Talk To Me) or flicks that went viral, such as M3GAN, Smile, or the hedonism-filled mystery Infinity Pool, there’s some serious options.

We’d recommend long-awaited sequel 28 Years Later, as well as Sydney Sweeney’s Immaculate, which sees her play a nun who finds true horrors in a remote countryside convent. Or perhaps M Night Shyamalan’s latest offering Trap, starring Josh Hartnett and Ariel Donoghue – in true Shyamalan style this one has a serious twist, but centres around a dad taking his daughter to a concert, and soon receives word that there’s a serial killer on the loose. Wild.

Oh, and let’s not forget psychological thrillers such as the Rebecca Hall starring The Night House, survival horrors such as Ready or Not, or even classics such as The Sixth Sense…

So join us as we take a spooky, dimly-lit look at the 60 best horror movies to watch on streaming services such as Disney +, Netflix, Apple TV and Amazon Prime over the coming months…
