You'll no doubt have already devoured some of October's horror movies, and I'm happy to report that the scares just keep coming as we have a packed month ahead.
Those of you counting the days until the holiday season are in luck, as Christmas horror movies have already started rolling out to all the best streaming services.
I know what you did last summer
Look
When: November 1
Where: Netflix (United States); rent or buy (UK); Paramount+ (AU)
There is nothing better than a classic horror movie and I know what you did last summer It's still as entertaining as ever. I also love the cast, as Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Johnny Galecki make for a great cast.
The film centers on four teenage friends who are stalked by a hook-wielding killer. A year ago they covered up a car accident that supposedly killed a man, and someone knows. That's a terrifying way to spend the summer.
The Purge: Anarchy
Look
When: November 1
Where: Netflix (United States); rent or buy (UK; AU)
As far as horror sequels go, The Purge: Anarchy It's very good indeed. He's also 11 years old if you want to feel old. I can't believe it's been so long since The purge landed for the first time on our screens.
If you're in the mood for some grim, dystopian horror, what better place to start than here? In fact, it earned a higher critical score than its predecessor; It's always interesting when that happens.
Following the same government sanction that legalizes crime for 12 hours, including murder, a sergeant who lost his son plans a revenge mission during the chaos. I really love this one.
child's play
Look
When: November 1
Where: Prime Video (global)
Both versions of child's play are on Prime Video this month, so it's up to you whether you watch the original 1988 movie or the 2019 remake. Interestingly, they have the exact same Rotten Tomatoes score of 64%, so you might want to watch them both.
Like the first movie chuky franchise, you'll discover its origin story no matter which path you take. When the character first appeared on the scene in the '80s, we saw dying murderer Charles Lee Ray use black magic to put his soul inside the doll, and the rest is history.
The Poughkeepsie Tapes
Look
When: November 1
Where: Prime Video (global)
Widely considered one of the nastiest found footage films out there, this one is not for the faint-hearted. With its low-budget VHS aesthetic and realistic-looking scenes, this might be the bravest recommendation of the bunch.
If you're curious, the plot centers on the murders of a serial killer, whose crimes are told through interviews and footage of his murders, which he filmed and kept for himself. It's a disturbing watch, but it's gained notoriety for good reason.
House of 1000 Corpses
When: November 1
Where: HBO Max (US); Shudder (UK); Stan (AU)
Rob Zombies House of 1000 Corpses It bombed critically, but I think you should give the dark horror comedy a chance. It's not as bad as critics claim, especially if you enjoyed Zombie's other work.
Here we follow a group of teenagers who are kidnapped and tortured by a psychopathic family during Halloween. This movie has a cult following and even became an attraction at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios, so it's worth checking out.
The Children of Abraham: A Dracula Story
Look
When: November 7
Where: Shudder (worldwide)
if you loved The black phoneyou don't want to miss The Children of Abraham: A Dracula Story, since it was written by the same person. Writer Joe Hill's tale follows brothers Max and Rudy Van Helsing, who have spent their lives under the strict and overprotective rule of their father, Abraham.
Both are unaware of his dark past and struggle to understand his increasingly erratic behavior. This leads them to discover the truth about their history with Dracula, forcing them to inherit the terrifying family legacy.
Krampus
Look
When: November 15
Where: Shudder (United States); Prime Video (UK); Rent or buy (AU)
Christmas movies are often known for being cozy and wholesome, so it's fun when they're not. Inspired by the horned beast of ancient European folklore, this film follows a dysfunctional family whose bickering causes a boy to lose his holiday spirit enough to unleash the wrath of Krampus.
Starring RuptureIt's Adam Scott, astray toni collette and the office David Koechner, there's a great cast here and it's an entertaining movie as you prepare for your celebrations. Hey, I might even convince the family not to get into arguments, in case Krampus shows up.
