The 10 Best Horror Movies to Stream on Friday the 13Th and Beyond

Whenever we’re deep into the scariest month of the year and Halloween is just around the corner, there’s no better time to dust off some old horror classics and explore some contemporary newbies (except for The Exorcist: Believer). Occasionally we even get a double whammy when October 13 falls on a Friday, making for a super spooky Friday the 13th ⏤ one of the creepiest dates there is. Of course, the best way to celebrate the occasion is to fill a bowl with candy corn, turn off the lights, and turn on those horror flicks. Though you can do this whenever the horror bug bites, here are some of the best movies to stream specifically on Friday the 13th, whenever it falls. Just be sure to pace yourself with that candy corn.

Renfield (2023)

Renfield didn’t get a lot of love when it first came out, so why not give the Nic Cage and Nicholas Hoult black comedy the second chance it deserves? It’s a pretty great vampire flick with a unique take on the whole Dracula schtick. Nic Cage doing his Nic Cage thing is worth the price of admission alone, and at least one moment is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.

Renfield is currently available to stream on Prime Video.

Get Out (2017)

This is Jordan Peele’s first and arguably best horror movie, though you should give his others a watch, too. Back in 2017, Get Out established itself as an instant horror classic, with every scene ramping up the tension and mystery until the horrific truth is finally revealed. The protagonist Chris, played by Daniel Kaluuya, is visiting his girlfriend’s parents for the first time only to discover that they’re a bit, well, weird. Things only get weirder and more terrifying for Chris as he starts to learn that his girlfriend is not who he thinks she is, and neither are the people he’s currently surrounded by.

Get Out is currently available to stream on Netflix.
