Best Horror Movies Streaming Now, and the Service Each One Is On

A note before the scares. IPTV Free Trial sells an IPTV subscription, not films, so this list carries no scores, no winner and no measurements of our own. We picked from two lists the platforms publish themselves, Disney's horror guide (revised November 3, 2026) and Netflix's horror list (March 4, 2026), added two public-domain classics, and checked every title against JustWatch's US listings on November 12, 2026.

Where each film was listed

Nine films, six kinds of service. The grid shows the overlap at a glance, and it explains why a film you remember on one app can turn up on another:

Dread that builds slowly

These three spend their first hour making a home feel wrong, then pay it off.

• Hereditary (2018, 2h 8min). After a grandmother's death, her family starts uncovering secrets about where they come from. Hulu in Disney's guide; JustWatch adds Prime Video and a free, ad-supported option on YouTube.
• Under the Shadow (2016, 1h 24min). A former medical student in wartime Tehran, and a daughter who is sure something has moved into their flat. On Netflix, and on the library app Hoopla per JustWatch.
• His House (2020, 1h 33min). A couple who fled Sudan are housed in a rotting home in England, with open hostility on the street and something worse inside. On Netflix.

One room, one threat

Smaller casts, fewer locations, and tension that comes from people rather than ghosts.

• Gerald's Game (2017, 1h 43min). A weekend away ends with a woman handcuffed to a bed and nobody coming. Based on a Stephen King novel. On Netflix.
• Creep (2014, 1h 18min). A videographer answers an ad to film a dying man's video diary, and the client gets stranger by the hour. The shortest film here; on Netflix.
• Heretic (2024, 1h 51min). Two young missionaries knock on the door of Mr. Reed, played by Hugh Grant, and are not allowed to leave. A Hulu title in Disney's guide; JustWatch also listed it free with ads on The Roku Channel.

When the sources disagree

Late Night with the Devil (2024, 1h 33min) is a live talk show from 1977 that lets something evil onto the air. Disney's guide marks it as a Hulu title. JustWatch's US page, read the same week, listed it on Shudder, AMC+ and Philo, free with ads on Tubi, and on the library app Kanopy. Both can be right on different days, since rights move constantly. Open the app you plan to use before you make the popcorn.

Classics that cost nothing

• Nosferatu (1922, 1h 34min). F. W. Murnau's silent vampire film, the source of many images horror still borrows. JustWatch listed it free with ads on Plex, Tubi, The Roku Channel and YouTube, and on Kanopy and Hoopla.
• Night of the Living Dead (1968). George A. Romero's farmhouse siege by flesh-eating ghouls. Plex's page shows a Watch Free button and a running time of 1h 35m; JustWatch also lists Tubi and The Roku Channel.

Pick by the time you have

Checking a listing in two minutes

Horror catalogs move more than most, because films are licensed for short windows and pile up around October. Before you settle in, run the same quick check we used for this page:

1. Search the title on JustWatch for your country, the US or Canada, and note every service listed.
2. Open the app you actually pay for and search there too; the app is the final word.
3. If the only listing is free with ads, expect breaks every few minutes, which can blunt a slow-burn film.
4. If two sources disagree, as they do on Late Night with the Devil, trust the app on the day.

Which fits whom

• You have Netflix and 90 minutes: Creep or Under the Shadow.
• You want to be unsettled for days: Hereditary, started early.
• You prefer a clever premise to gore: Heretic or Late Night with the Devil.
• You want to spend nothing: Nosferatu or Night of the Living Dead with ads.
• You are watching with someone new to horror: Night of the Living Dead, which is tense without being graphic by today's standards.

Films on demand, channels on IPTV

Every film above is sold or shown by the service named beside it. An IPTV subscription is a different product: live channels in a player app, sometimes with catch-up. IPTV is a legal technology, and whether a given service is lawful depends on the rights its seller holds; we don't publish the rights agreements behind our channels. Our page on whether IPTV is legal lists the questions to ask any seller.

Whatever you stream, dark scenes are where a weak connection shows first, as blocky shadows in exactly the moments that matter. Plan on about 8 Mbps per HD stream, 15 Mbps for Full HD and 25 Mbps for 4K; our internet speed guide explains how to check your line before a long film.

IPTV Free Trial plans are prepaid for a fixed term and don't renew automatically, as our terms say. Prices in US dollars:

Search the guide on the 24-hour free trial before paying, or send Ryan a WhatsApp message. Your first purchase carries a 7-day money-back guarantee when a service problem you report can't be fixed; read the refund policy for the exact terms.
