It&#8217;s spooky season, baby.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be the first to confess that I\u2019m quite particular about horror films. I\u2019m not a fan of the dolls and demons format that the genre has adopted recently, full of CG jump-scares and artificially dark scenes with the contrast and saturation cranked to make it feel scarier than it is. I like old-school horror, where I can suspend my disbelief and believe this is real.<\/p>\n<p>Disney+ might not be the obvious home for horror, but thanks to its partnership with Hulu, there\u2019s more lurking in the catalogue than you might expect. So, with that in mind (and a few curveballs for good measure), let\u2019s dig into the <strong>best horror films on Disney+<\/strong> \u2026 and more than a few from Hulu.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AV-Trade-in-Blog-Banner.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;AV Trade-In In-Page Banner&#8221; title_text=&#8221;AV-Trade-in-Blog-Banner&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.av.com\/trade-in?utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=banner&#038;utm_campaign=blog+av+trade+in&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;AV Trade-In In-Page Banner&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_module=&#8221;46457&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;In a hurry?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_a_hurry\"><\/span>In a hurry?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Alien (1979)<\/li>\n<li>Predator (1987)<\/li>\n<li>The Fly (1986)<\/li>\n<li>The Omen (1976)<\/li>\n<li>Colour Out of Space (2020)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.av.com\/home-cinema&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;SHOP HOME CINEMA&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Arial|700|||||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|30px|10px|30px|false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset6&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;2px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;The best horror films on Disney+&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_best_horror_films_on_Disney\"><\/span>The best horror films on Disney+<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Alien_1979\"><\/span>1. <em>Alien<\/em> (1979)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The first time I saw <em>Alien,<\/em> I must have been about eight years old (not a great look). I\u2019d come down in the night after a nightmare and sat up with my dad while he watched a \u201cscary space movie.\u201d As a na\u00efve kid who loved Star Wars, I said, \u201cI won\u2019t be scared by space.\u201d I was wrong. For the next three years, I was convinced something was crawling through the vents above my bed.<\/p>\n<p><em>Alien<\/em> follows the crew of a commercial space vessel who come across a mysterious signal and decide to investigate. What they find sets off one of the most unsettling chain reactions in sci-fi history. The tension builds slowly through every shadowy corridor and hiss of steam&#8230; or was it something else?\u00a0 It\u2019s the kind of film that reminds you space isn\u2019t the final frontier, it\u2019s just another place to die scared and alone.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Predator_1987\"><\/span>2. <em>Predator<\/em> (1987)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"139\" data-end=\"603\">Another film I saw when I was far too young to really understand what I was getting myself in for.\u00a0<em>Predator <\/em>is\u00a0not as outright terrifying as <em>Alien<\/em>, but it shares that same primal fear of being hunted by something far more capable than you. I always saw <em>Predator<\/em> as the counterpoint to <em>Alien<\/em>: one\u2019s about running, the other\u2019s about standing your ground.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"139\" data-end=\"603\">As a kid, I took comfort in knowing Arnold Schwarzenegger was real, so if a Predator ever showed up, he\u2019d probably sort it out.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"605\" data-end=\"903\">The film is all about a team of commandos sent on a mission in the jungle, only to realise they\u2019re being stalked by something invisible and far more advanced. It\u2019s equal parts action and horror, and even with all the explosions and &#8217;80s bravado, it still hits that nerve of being completely outmatched.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_Fly_1986\"><\/span>3. <em>The Fly<\/em> (1986)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"117\" data-end=\"453\">The theme continues. Eleven years old and already a veteran of horror. I was sold this one on the promise that it had the \u201cfunny Jurassic Park man\u201d in it, but what I got instead was something far stranger and much harder to shake. It\u2019s one of those films that makes you realise curiosity and horror often live in the same place.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"455\" data-end=\"849\"><em>The Fly<\/em> follows a scientist whose teleportation experiment goes wrong when a housefly slips into the machine with him, causing their DNA to merge. What starts as a moment of triumph turns into a slow, grotesque transformation that\u2019s as tragic as it is terrifying. Cronenberg doesn\u2019t do cheap scares; he shows you the horror of change itself, and it stays with you long after the credits roll.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_Omen_1976\"><\/span>4. <em>The Omen<\/em> (1976)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><em>The Omen<\/em> was one of those films you\u2019d hear about at school from the older kids, almost a rite of passage to have seen. For 1976, it was a terrifying notion: the devil walking among us.<\/p>\n<p>From a British perspective, it struck a chord. The country was grey and uncertain, coming off the back of political unrest and economic decline, and that sense of instability mirrored the film\u2019s slow, creeping dread. Ordinary life felt haunted by something unseen and unstoppable.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Omen<\/em> follows an American diplomat who begins to suspect that his adopted son, Damien, isn\u2019t quite what he thinks he is. There is a string of strange coincidences which slowly unravels into something far more sinister.<\/p>\n<p>The film is horror rooted in the fear of control slipping away, of the world, of faith, and even of your own family. And as someone who went to uni in Guildford, where the cathedral from the film looms in real life, I can confirm it\u2019s just as eerie after a night out.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Colour_Out_of_Space_2020\"><\/span>5. <em>Colour Out of Space<\/em> (2020)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"121\" data-end=\"560\">Anyone who knows me knows I\u2019ve got a soft spot for cosmic horror, and <em data-start=\"191\" data-end=\"212\">Colour Out of Space<\/em> is one of the best modern portrayals of Lovecraft\u2019s work. It captures that feeling of something vast and incomprehensible pressing against reality, while echoing the grotesque transformation and unease of <em data-start=\"418\" data-end=\"427\">The Fly<\/em>. It feels almost poetic that the original story helped inspire Cronenberg, and this film brings that same body horror full circle.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"1182\">I don\u2019t mind giving things away here, since the original story was written in 1927 \u2014 you\u2019ve had nearly a hundred years of spoiler warning. The film follows a family living on a remote farm whose lives begin to unravel after a meteorite crashes nearby, warping everything it touches. The \u201ccolour\u201d itself is genius, shown as pink yet described as something beyond language.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"1182\">It\u2019s a brilliant play on perception and the limits of understanding. Love him or hate him, Nicolas Cage delivers one of his best performances here, channelling pure chaos in what might be the finest depiction of eldritch madness ever put to film.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Signs_2002\"><\/span>6. <em>Signs<\/em> (2002)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"128\" data-end=\"383\">I\u2019ll say this early: <em data-start=\"149\" data-end=\"156\">Signs<\/em>, though a great film, would not hold up nearly as well without one very specific five-second scene in the final act. Anyone who\u2019s seen it knows exactly which one I mean. It\u2019s burned into your brain the first time you see it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"385\" data-end=\"933\"><em>Signs<\/em> tells the story of a former priest and his family living on a remote farm after discovering mysterious crop circles in their fields. Strange noises in the night, flickers of movement on grainy footage, and that creeping dread of the unknown make the film a masterclass in restraint. It balances genuine terror with something almost family-friendly, walking that fine line where the unseen is always scarier than what\u2019s revealed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"385\" data-end=\"933\">It\u2019s eerie, emotional, and quietly human, the kind of horror that lingers long after, even when the lights are still on.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Jennifers_Body_2009\"><\/span>7. <em>Jennifer\u2019s Body<\/em> (2009)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><em>Jennifer\u2019s Body<\/em> isn\u2019t really a horror film in the traditional sense, but it\u2019s a brilliant twist on the coming-of-age teen drama that, by 2009, had started to feel worn out. Think <em>Scream<\/em> meets <em>Carrie<\/em>, but with eyeliner, sarcasm, and a killer soundtrack, with a special shout-out to Panic! at the Disco\u2019s contribution.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t see this until I was 26, so I missed the hype that surrounded it back in the day. Watching it later, I saw it less as a cult horror and more as a sharp social commentary. The film follows Jennifer, a high school girl who becomes something far more dangerous after a botched sacrifice, and her best friend Needy, who slowly realises the horror isn\u2019t just supernatural.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s about popularity, power, and the way friendship and jealousy feed off each other. And beneath the blood and humour, it\u2019s really about social expectations and identity. Honestly, there\u2019s nothing scarier than teenagers and high school drama.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_The_Hills_Have_Eyes_2006\"><\/span>8. <em>The Hills Have Eyes<\/em> (2006)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This was one of the few horror films my dad was actually hesitant to show me, which should tell you something. He\u2019d been fine letting me watch <em>Alien<\/em> as a kid, but even he found this one unsettling. Maybe it\u2019s the realism of it all, the way the horror isn\u2019t supernatural but human, cruel, and all too believable.<\/p>\n<p>A family is stranded in the desert after their car breaks down, but they discover they\u2019re not alone. Bad luck turns into a brutal fight for survival against a group of mutated locals shaped by the fallout of nuclear testing. It\u2019s a story about what happens when morality breaks down completely, when people stop seeing others as human and survival becomes justification for anything.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need ghosts or aliens here to be afraid; it\u2019s enough to look at what people are capable of. The real monsters are the kind that smile at you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_The_Haunted_Mansion_2003\"><\/span>9. <em>The Haunted Mansion<\/em> (2003)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>As friendly as horror gets. It\u2019s Disney doing gothic, and honestly, it\u2019s hard not to love it for that alone. Eddie Murphy plays a work-obsessed estate agent who drags his family to a mysterious mansion he\u2019s hoping to sell, only to find it\u2019s haunted by a mix of spirits with unfinished business.<\/p>\n<p>As the family explores, they uncover a centuries-old curse, secret passageways, and a tragic love story at the heart of it all. It\u2019s camp, over the top, and filled with more cobwebs than real scares, but that\u2019s where the charm lies. The mansion itself feels alive, full of creaks, whispers, and that old-school Disney magic that makes even death look whimsical.<\/p>\n<p>It might not terrify you, but it captures the cosy side of horror, the kind you can happily watch with the kids.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Free_Solo_2018\"><\/span>10. <em>Free Solo<\/em> (2018)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Alright, this one isn\u2019t classed as a horror film at all, but it might as well be. <em>Free Solo<\/em> follows climber Alex Honnold as he attempts to scale El Capitan without ropes, a feat that defies reason as much as gravity. There\u2019s no monster, no ghost, just the ever-present knowledge that one slip means the end.<\/p>\n<p>What makes it so unsettling is how calm it all feels. The documentary\u2019s precision, especially in scenes like the boulder problem, turns your stomach as the camera tilts over the sheer drop below. Even knowing he doesn\u2019t fall (otherwise this would be a very different kind of film), it still makes you mutter \u201coooh that\u2019s sketchy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s horror of a different kind, the quiet, primal sort that reminds you the real world can be every bit as terrifying as fiction.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_The_Shining_1980\"><\/span>10. <em>The Shining<\/em> (1980)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><em>The Shining<\/em> is one of those rare horror films that doesn\u2019t need jump scares to get under your skin. Stanley Kubrick builds tension with symmetry, silence, and the vast emptiness of the Overlook Hotel, turning every hallway and reflection into something quietly threatening. Everything feels just a little too perfect, like the building itself is holding its breath.<\/p>\n<p>The story follows a family spending the winter isolated in the hotel, where the father\u2019s mind begins to unravel under the weight of cabin fever and unseen forces. It\u2019s a film about loneliness, madness, and how fear can grow in the spaces between thoughts. The Shining became the blueprint for the cinematic descent into insanity.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Blade_1998\"><\/span>11. <em>Blade<\/em> (1998)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"210\" data-end=\"517\"><em data-start=\"210\" data-end=\"217\">Blade<\/em> sits perfectly between horror and action, pulling off both without losing its cool. Wesley Snipes plays a half-human, half-vampire hunter taking on a secret world of bloodsuckers hiding in plain sight. It\u2019s pure 1990s energy \u2014 all leather coats, flashing club lights, and gloriously overdone gore.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"519\" data-end=\"946\">The film takes the romantic vampire craze popularised by <em data-start=\"576\" data-end=\"602\">Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em> and turns it into something darker, sharper, and far more stylish. It\u2019s horror with confidence, built on attitude and atmosphere rather than cheap scares. And as Blade himself says, \u201csome people are always trying to ice skate uphill,\u201d which feels like the perfect metaphor for how effortlessly this film outpaced everything else in its lane.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Hellraiser_1987\"><\/span>13. <em>Hellraiser<\/em> (1987)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><em>Hellraiser<\/em> is pure, unapologetic old-school horror about a man who opens a mysterious puzzle box and summons the Cenobites, otherworldly beings devoted to exploring the extremes of sensation. It\u2019s the kind of film that crawls under your skin and stays there, built on the grotesque beauty of pain and pleasure intertwined.<\/p>\n<p>Clive Barker\u2019s vision is soaked in what can only be described as a kind of \u201cflesh fetishism\u201d (if you watch the film, you\u2019ll know what I mean), a fascination with the body\u2019s limits and how far it can stretch, tear, or transcend. It\u2019s horror as intimacy, where every wound feels deliberate and almost sacred.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Umma_2022\"><\/span>14. Umma (2022)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"276\" data-end=\"602\"><em data-start=\"276\" data-end=\"282\">Umma<\/em> is a quieter kind of horror, one that trades jump scares for generational unease. It follows a mother and daughter living off the grid, haunted not just by a spirit but by the weight of inherited trauma. The fear doesn\u2019t come from the ghost itself, but from how grief and expectation linger like a curse of their own.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"604\" data-end=\"919\">Sandra Oh is incredible here, as she always is, perfectly capturing that fragile tension between love and fear. She carries the film\u2019s emotional weight, showing how deeply generational wounds can shape us. <em data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"816\">Umma<\/em> isn\u2019t about shock value; it\u2019s about the quiet terror of becoming the very thing you tried to escape.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_The_Tank_2023\"><\/span>15. <em>The Tank<\/em> (2023)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><em>The Tank<\/em> is one of those modern creature features that slipped under the radar but absolutely deserves a look. It follows a family who inherit a remote coastal property, only to discover that beneath the old water tank lies something very alive and very hungry. The tension builds through the isolation and the creeping sense that the landscape itself is turning against them.<\/p>\n<p>It feels like a love letter to classic practical-effects horror, where the suspense is what&#8217;s scary. The creature design is tactile and unnerving, proving that real shadows still outshine CGI. <em>The Tank<\/em> isn\u2019t revolutionary, but it\u2019s atmospheric, confident, and a reminder that you don\u2019t need much more than darkness, rain, and something unseen to make your skin crawl.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Halloween_2018\"><\/span>16. <em>Halloween<\/em> (2018)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We had to go with <em>Halloween<\/em> (2018) since the original isn\u2019t on Disney+ or Hulu, but honestly, this one earns its place. It\u2019s one of those rare sequels that actually feels like a worthy continuation of the original\u2019s legacy. It strips away the odd sequels and reboots and goes straight back to what made the first so chilling: the silence, the inevitability, and that emotionless mask watching from the dark.<\/p>\n<p>Forty years after the original murders, Michael Myers escapes captivity and returns to Haddonfield, his presence turning the quiet town into a hunting ground once again. Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode, now a survivor who\u2019s spent decades preparing for the day she knew would come. The film flips the story\u2019s focus, turning her into the hunter as much as the haunted.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_Saw_2004\"><\/span>17. <em>Saw<\/em> (2004)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"347\" data-end=\"601\">When I was in secondary school, <em data-start=\"379\" data-end=\"384\">Saw<\/em> was one of those films whispered about between friends who\u2019d managed to see it. It carried this strange mystique, part horror, part urban legend, mostly because of that ending.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"603\" data-end=\"1062\">The story follows two men who wake up chained in a grimy bathroom, each given cryptic instructions by a killer who wants to test their will to live. It blends gore with genuine mystery, playing out almost like a detective noir, piecing together clues and motives against the clock. It\u2019s a film that made you squirm, sure, but it also made you think, and that balance is what\u2019s kept it iconic.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18_Black_Swan_2010\"><\/span>18. <em>Black Swan<\/em> (2010)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"233\" data-end=\"633\"><em data-start=\"233\" data-end=\"245\">Black Swan<\/em> takes the beauty of ballet and twists it into something deeply unsettling. Darren Aronofsky turns the pursuit of artistic perfection into a slow psychological collapse, where control and elegance give way to obsession and decay. Natalie Portman\u2019s performance as Nina captures that descent with painful precision, as every step and spin chips away at who she is beneath the performance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"1134\">In short, Nina lands the lead in <em data-start=\"682\" data-end=\"693\">Swan Lake<\/em>, a role that demands she embody both innocence and darkness. As the pressure mounts, her grip on reality begins to blur, and the line between performance and self starts to fracture. It\u2019s the horror of losing yourself so completely to perfection that you forget what it means to simply exist.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"1134\">By the end, Nina\u2019s brilliance and breakdown become one and the same, and it\u2019s honestly quite a depressing film, and I love depressing films\u2026<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"19_Evil_Dead_2013\"><\/span>19. <em>Evil Dead<\/em> (2013)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Few remakes manage to stand shoulder to shoulder with their originals, but <em data-start=\"321\" data-end=\"332\">Evil Dead<\/em> (2013) earns its place through sheer ferocity. It takes Sam Raimi\u2019s cult classic and reimagines it with sharper teeth and meaner, bloodier, and far more psychologically punishing. Gone is the camp humour of the 1980s version; in its place is a relentless atmosphere of dread.<\/p>\n<p>The story is about a group of friends retreating to a remote cabin to help one of them overcome addiction, only to uncover a cursed book that unleashes something truly horrific. What makes it work is how grounded it feels. The horror isn\u2019t just from the supernatural, but from grief, guilt, and the way trauma consumes people. It\u2019s not just a bloodbath for the sake of it; every splatter means something.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_Poltergeist_2015\"><\/span>20. <em>Poltergeist<\/em> (2015)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The 2015 remake of <em>Poltergeist<\/em> had big shoes to fill, taking on one of the most iconic haunted house stories ever made: a family move into their dream home, only to find something very wrong beneath the plaster and paint. The takeaway is, before buying a house, always check if it\u2019s built on, let\u2019s say, questionable land.<\/p>\n<p>While it trades some of the eerie charm of the original for slicker visuals, <em>Poltergeist <\/em>still captures that strange blend of cosy suburban comfort and creeping dread. It\u2019s one of those films where you\u2019re never quite sure who the real villain is: the cursed land beneath the home or the property developers.<\/p>\n<p>Horror doesn\u2019t always need to come from the unknown; sometimes it\u2019s just bad real estate.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"21_The_Menu_2022\"><\/span>21. <em>The Menu<\/em> (2022)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><em>The Menu<\/em> is one of those films that creeps up on you. On the surface, it\u2019s about fine dining and exclusivity, but beneath the truffle foam and micro herbs lies a brutal dissection of obsession, privilege, and the empty pursuit of perfection.<\/p>\n<p>A group of guests travel to a remote island for an exclusive dining experience hosted by an enigmatic chef, but as each course is served, it becomes clear that this meal has more on offer than anyone expected.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a horror film served cold; all precision and tension, building through quiet glances and awkward silences. The restaurant\u2019s clinical design and meticulous presentation start to feel more like a trap than a luxury. What makes it truly unsettling is how believable it all feels, that you could sit down to dinner and only realise too late what&#8217;s really on the menu.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"22_The_Night_House_2021\"><\/span>22. <em>The Night House<\/em> (2021)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><em>The Night House<\/em> sits in that uneasy space between grief and the supernatural. It\u2019s not loud or showy, but it gets under your skin in the way true horror should. The story follows a recently widowed woman who begins to uncover strange patterns and impossible reflections within her lakeside home, leading her to question what her late husband was hiding, and what might still be lingering there.<\/p>\n<p>What makes it so effective is how it turns grief itself into the haunting. Every quiet moment, every reflection, feels like a question you don\u2019t want answered. It\u2019s a story about how loss reshapes the world around us, twisting absence into presence until you\u2019re not sure what\u2019s real. The horror here isn\u2019t about what\u2019s in the dark, but the creeping realisation that the dark has already found its way inside.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"23_Barbarian_2022\"><\/span>23. <em>Barbarian<\/em> (2022)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><em>Barbarian<\/em> is one of those films that proves horror can still catch you off guard. It starts with something simple \u2014 a double-booked Airbnb \u2014 and unravels into something far stranger and far darker. What makes it so effective is how it plays with comfort and control, letting both slip away one uneasy moment at a time. Every choice feels wrong, every corridor feels like it\u2019s leading somewhere you don\u2019t want to go.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a story about trust, danger, and how quickly both can collapse when fear takes hold. Beneath the shocks and reveals, <em>Barbarian<\/em> is really about the monsters that live in plain sight and how often we choose not to see them. It\u2019s clever, claustrophobic, and proof that sometimes curiosity is the real killer.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"24_28_Weeks_Later_2007\"><\/span>24. <em>28 Weeks Later<\/em> (2007)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><em>28 Weeks Later<\/em> often gets called the weakest of the <em>28 Days Later<\/em> series, but that\u2019s selling it short. It picks up months after the outbreak seen in <em data-start=\"196\" data-end=\"211\">28 Days Later<\/em>, with NATO forces helping to repopulate London after the rage virus has supposedly been wiped out. The fragile calm doesn\u2019t last long as one mistake reignites the nightmare, and the infection tears through the survivors all over again.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"451\" data-end=\"757\">It\u2019s a colder, more chaotic film than its predecessor, but still carries that same pulse of dread. And while <em data-start=\"560\" data-end=\"575\">28 Days Later<\/em> would have absolutely made this list if it were available on Disney+ or Hulu, this sequel does a fine job of keeping the horror alive until <em data-start=\"716\" data-end=\"732\">28 Years Later<\/em> brings it full circle<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"25_The_Nightmare_Before_Christmas_1993\"><\/span>25. <em>The Nightmare Before Christmas<\/em> (1993)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Alright, let\u2019s end on a bit of a curveball. I know we said teenagers were one of the scariest things out there, but the true greatest horror imaginable, the most terrifying act of all, is Christmas. Jack Skellington\u2019s well-meaning attempt to bring festive cheer to Halloween Town ends up being more nightmare than Noel, proving that even the Pumpkin King should stick to what he knows.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s spooky, it\u2019s sweet, and it&#8217;s still one of the most iconic \u201chorror\u201d films you can show to a five-year-old. The stop-motion animation is gorgeous, the songs are timeless, and the whole thing is wrapped in a beautifully macabre bow. It\u2019s gothic comfort cinema at its best, the perfect way to unwind after all the blood, guts, and existential dread on this list.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;The ultimate horror film setup&#8221;

Whether you agree with every choice or not, hopefully, it\u2019s reminded you why horror is such a fascinating genre. It\u2019s not just about the scares; it\u2019s about curiosity, catharsis, and the thrill of peering into the dark just to see what looks back.<\/p>\n<p>Vincent Price once said, \u201cIt\u2019s as much fun to scare as to be scared,\u201d and that feels about right. The real magic of horror is in that shared tension, the grin you get after a good fright, and the way a film can linger long after the lights come up.<\/p>\n<p>So, as another spooky season rolls around, maybe put on one of these films, dim the lights, and listen carefully. Because no matter how old we get, there\u2019s still something thrilling about things that go bump in the night.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.av.com\/home-cinema&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;SHOP HOME CINEMA&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Arial|700|||||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|30px|10px|30px|false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset6&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;2px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/category\/home-cinema\/home-cinema-guides\/&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;READ MORE HOME CINEMA GUIDES&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Arial|700|||||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|30px|10px|30px|false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset6&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;2px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disney+ might not be the obvious home for horror, but thanks to its partnership with Hulu, there\u2019s more lurking in the catalogue than you might expect.

I\u2019d come down in the night after a nightmare and sat up with my dad while he watched a \u201cscary space movie.\u201d As a na\u00efve kid who loved Star Wars, I said, \u201cI won\u2019t be scared by space.\u201d I was wrong. For the next three years, I was convinced something was crawling through the vents above my bed.<\/p><p><em>Alien<\/em> follows the crew of a commercial space vessel who come across a mysterious signal and decide to investigate. What they find sets off one of the most unsettling chain reactions in sci-fi history. The tension builds slowly through every shadowy corridor and hiss of steam... or was it something else?\u00a0 It\u2019s the kind of film that reminds you space isn\u2019t the final frontier, it\u2019s just another place to die scared and alone.<\/p><hr \/><h4>2. <em>Predator<\/em> (1987)<\/h4><p data-start=\"139\" data-end=\"603\">Another film I saw when I was far too young to really understand what I was getting myself in for.\u00a0<em>Predator <\/em>is\u00a0not as outright terrifying as <em>Alien<\/em>, but it shares that same primal fear of being hunted by something far more capable than you. I always saw <em>Predator<\/em> as the counterpoint to <em>Alien<\/em>: one\u2019s about running, the other\u2019s about standing your ground.<\/p><p data-start=\"139\" data-end=\"603\">As a kid, I took comfort in knowing Arnold Schwarzenegger was real, so if a Predator ever showed up, he\u2019d probably sort it out.<\/p><p data-start=\"605\" data-end=\"903\">The film is all about a team of commandos sent on a mission in the jungle, only to realise they\u2019re being stalked by something invisible and far more advanced. It\u2019s equal parts action and horror, and even with all the explosions and '80s bravado, it still hits that nerve of being completely outmatched.<\/p><hr \/><h4>3. <em>The Fly<\/em> (1986)<\/h4><p data-start=\"117\" data-end=\"453\">The theme continues. Eleven years old and already a veteran of horror. I was sold this one on the promise that it had the \u201cfunny Jurassic Park man\u201d in it, but what I got instead was something far stranger and much harder to shake. It\u2019s one of those films that makes you realise curiosity and horror often live in the same place.<\/p><p data-start=\"455\" data-end=\"849\"><em>The Fly<\/em> follows a scientist whose teleportation experiment goes wrong when a housefly slips into the machine with him, causing their DNA to merge. What starts as a moment of triumph turns into a slow, grotesque transformation that\u2019s as tragic as it is terrifying. Cronenberg doesn\u2019t do cheap scares; he shows you the horror of change itself, and it stays with you long after the credits roll.<\/p><hr \/><h4>4. <em>The Omen<\/em> (1976)<\/h4><p><em>The Omen<\/em> was one of those films you\u2019d hear about at school from the older kids, almost a rite of passage to have seen. For 1976, it was a terrifying notion: the devil walking among us.<\/p><p>From a British perspective, it struck a chord. The country was grey and uncertain, coming off the back of political unrest and economic decline, and that sense of instability mirrored the film\u2019s slow, creeping dread. Ordinary life felt haunted by something unseen and unstoppable.<\/p><p><em>The Omen<\/em> follows an American diplomat who begins to suspect that his adopted son, Damien, isn\u2019t quite what he thinks he is. There is a string of strange coincidences which slowly unravels into something far more sinister.<\/p><p>The film is horror rooted in the fear of control slipping away, of the world, of faith, and even of your own family. And as someone who went to uni in Guildford, where the cathedral from the film looms in real life, I can confirm it\u2019s just as eerie after a night out.<\/p><hr \/><h4>5. <em>Colour Out of Space<\/em> (2020)<\/h4><p data-start=\"121\" data-end=\"560\">Anyone who knows me knows I\u2019ve got a soft spot for cosmic horror, and <em data-start=\"191\" data-end=\"212\">Colour Out of Space<\/em> is one of the best modern portrayals of Lovecraft\u2019s work. It captures that feeling of something vast and incomprehensible pressing against reality, while echoing the grotesque transformation and unease of <em data-start=\"418\" data-end=\"427\">The Fly<\/em>. It feels almost poetic that the original story helped inspire Cronenberg, and this film brings that same body horror full circle.<\/p><p data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"1182\">I don\u2019t mind giving things away here, since the original story was written in 1927 \u2014 you\u2019ve had nearly a hundred years of spoiler warning. The film follows a family living on a remote farm whose lives begin to unravel after a meteorite crashes nearby, warping everything it touches. The \u201ccolour\u201d itself is genius, shown as pink yet described as something beyond language.<\/p><p data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"1182\">It\u2019s a brilliant play on perception and the limits of understanding. Love him or hate him, Nicolas Cage delivers one of his best performances here, channelling pure chaos in what might be the finest depiction of eldritch madness ever put to film.<\/p><hr \/><h4>6. <em>Signs<\/em> (2002)<\/h4><p data-start=\"128\" data-end=\"383\">I\u2019ll say this early: <em data-start=\"149\" data-end=\"156\">Signs<\/em>, though a great film, would not hold up nearly as well without one very specific five-second scene in the final act. Anyone who\u2019s seen it knows exactly which one I mean. It\u2019s burned into your brain the first time you see it.<\/p><p data-start=\"385\" data-end=\"933\"><em>Signs<\/em> tells the story of a former priest and his family living on a remote farm after discovering mysterious crop circles in their fields. Strange noises in the night, flickers of movement on grainy footage, and that creeping dread of the unknown make the film a masterclass in restraint. It balances genuine terror with something almost family-friendly, walking that fine line where the unseen is always scarier than what\u2019s revealed.<\/p><p data-start=\"385\" data-end=\"933\">It\u2019s eerie, emotional, and quietly human, the kind of horror that lingers long after, even when the lights are still on.<\/p><hr \/><h4>7. <em>Jennifer\u2019s Body<\/em> (2009)<\/h4><p><em>Jennifer\u2019s Body<\/em> isn\u2019t really a horror film in the traditional sense, but it\u2019s a brilliant twist on the coming-of-age teen drama that, by 2009, had started to feel worn out. Think <em>Scream<\/em> meets <em>Carrie<\/em>, but with eyeliner, sarcasm, and a killer soundtrack, with a special shout-out to Panic! at the Disco\u2019s contribution.<\/p><p>I didn\u2019t see this until I was 26, so I missed the hype that surrounded it back in the day. Watching it later, I saw it less as a cult horror and more as a sharp social commentary. The film follows Jennifer, a high school girl who becomes something far more dangerous after a botched sacrifice, and her best friend Needy, who slowly realises the horror isn\u2019t just supernatural.<\/p><p>It\u2019s about popularity, power, and the way friendship and jealousy feed off each other. And beneath the blood and humour, it\u2019s really about social expectations and identity. Honestly, there\u2019s nothing scarier than teenagers and high school drama.<\/p><hr \/><h4>8. <em>The Hills Have Eyes<\/em> (2006)<\/h4><p>This was one of the few horror films my dad was actually hesitant to show me, which should tell you something. He\u2019d been fine letting me watch <em>Alien<\/em> as a kid, but even he found this one unsettling. Maybe it\u2019s the realism of it all, the way the horror isn\u2019t supernatural but human, cruel, and all too believable.<\/p><p>A family is stranded in the desert after their car breaks down, but they discover they\u2019re not alone. Bad luck turns into a brutal fight for survival against a group of mutated locals shaped by the fallout of nuclear testing. It\u2019s a story about what happens when morality breaks down completely, when people stop seeing others as human and survival becomes justification for anything.<\/p><p>You don\u2019t need ghosts or aliens here to be afraid; it\u2019s enough to look at what people are capable of. The real monsters are the kind that smile at you.<\/p><hr \/><h4>9. <em>The Haunted Mansion<\/em> (2003)<\/h4><p>As friendly as horror gets. It\u2019s Disney doing gothic, and honestly, it\u2019s hard not to love it for that alone. Eddie Murphy plays a work-obsessed estate agent who drags his family to a mysterious mansion he\u2019s hoping to sell, only to find it\u2019s haunted by a mix of spirits with unfinished business.<\/p><p>As the family explores, they uncover a centuries-old curse, secret passageways, and a tragic love story at the heart of it all. It\u2019s camp, over the top, and filled with more cobwebs than real scares, but that\u2019s where the charm lies. The mansion itself feels alive, full of creaks, whispers, and that old-school Disney magic that makes even death look whimsical.<\/p><p>It might not terrify you, but it captures the cosy side of horror, the kind you can happily watch with the kids.<\/p><hr \/><h4>10. <em>Free Solo<\/em> (2018)<\/h4><p>Alright, this one isn\u2019t classed as a horror film at all, but it might as well be. <em>Free Solo<\/em> follows climber Alex Honnold as he attempts to scale El Capitan without ropes, a feat that defies reason as much as gravity. There\u2019s no monster, no ghost, just the ever-present knowledge that one slip means the end.<\/p><p>What makes it so unsettling is how calm it all feels. The documentary\u2019s precision, especially in scenes like the boulder problem, turns your stomach as the camera tilts over the sheer drop below. Even knowing he doesn\u2019t fall (otherwise this would be a very different kind of film), it still makes you mutter \u201coooh that\u2019s sketchy.\u201d<\/p><p>It\u2019s horror of a different kind, the quiet, primal sort that reminds you the real world can be every bit as terrifying as fiction.<\/p><hr \/><h4>10. <em>The Shining<\/em> (1980)<\/h4><p><em>The Shining<\/em> is one of those rare horror films that doesn\u2019t need jump scares to get under your skin. Stanley Kubrick builds tension with symmetry, silence, and the vast emptiness of the Overlook Hotel, turning every hallway and reflection into something quietly threatening. Everything feels just a little too perfect, like the building itself is holding its breath.<\/p><p>The story follows a family spending the winter isolated in the hotel, where the father\u2019s mind begins to unravel under the weight of cabin fever and unseen forces. It\u2019s a film about loneliness, madness, and how fear can grow in the spaces between thoughts. The Shining became the blueprint for the cinematic descent into insanity.<\/p><hr \/><h4>11. <em>Blade<\/em> (1998)<\/h4><p data-start=\"210\" data-end=\"517\"><em data-start=\"210\" data-end=\"217\">Blade<\/em> sits perfectly between horror and action, pulling off both without losing its cool. Wesley Snipes plays a half-human, half-vampire hunter taking on a secret world of bloodsuckers hiding in plain sight. It\u2019s pure 1990s energy \u2014 all leather coats, flashing club lights, and gloriously overdone gore.<\/p><p data-start=\"519\" data-end=\"946\">The film takes the romantic vampire craze popularised by <em data-start=\"576\" data-end=\"602\">Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em> and turns it into something darker, sharper, and far more stylish. It\u2019s horror with confidence, built on attitude and atmosphere rather than cheap scares. And as Blade himself says, \u201csome people are always trying to ice skate uphill,\u201d which feels like the perfect metaphor for how effortlessly this film outpaced everything else in its lane.<\/p><hr \/><h4>13. <em>Hellraiser<\/em> (1987)<\/h4><p><em>Hellraiser<\/em> is pure, unapologetic old-school horror about a man who opens a mysterious puzzle box and summons the Cenobites, otherworldly beings devoted to exploring the extremes of sensation. It\u2019s the kind of film that crawls under your skin and stays there, built on the grotesque beauty of pain and pleasure intertwined.<\/p><p>Clive Barker\u2019s vision is soaked in what can only be described as a kind of \u201cflesh fetishism\u201d (if you watch the film, you\u2019ll know what I mean), a fascination with the body\u2019s limits and how far it can stretch, tear, or transcend. It\u2019s horror as intimacy, where every wound feels deliberate and almost sacred.<\/p><hr \/><h4>14. Umma (2022)<\/h4><p data-start=\"276\" data-end=\"602\"><em data-start=\"276\" data-end=\"282\">Umma<\/em> is a quieter kind of horror, one that trades jump scares for generational unease. It follows a mother and daughter living off the grid, haunted not just by a spirit but by the weight of inherited trauma. The fear doesn\u2019t come from the ghost itself, but from how grief and expectation linger like a curse of their own.<\/p><p data-start=\"604\" data-end=\"919\">Sandra Oh is incredible here, as she always is, perfectly capturing that fragile tension between love and fear. She carries the film\u2019s emotional weight, showing how deeply generational wounds can shape us. <em data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"816\">Umma<\/em> isn\u2019t about shock value; it\u2019s about the quiet terror of becoming the very thing you tried to escape.<\/p><hr \/><h4>15. <em>The Tank<\/em> (2023)<\/h4><p><em>The Tank<\/em> is one of those modern creature features that slipped under the radar but absolutely deserves a look. It follows a family who inherit a remote coastal property, only to discover that beneath the old water tank lies something very alive and very hungry. The tension builds through the isolation and the creeping sense that the landscape itself is turning against them.<\/p><p>It feels like a love letter to classic practical-effects horror, where the suspense is what's scary. The creature design is tactile and unnerving, proving that real shadows still outshine CGI. <em>The Tank<\/em> isn\u2019t revolutionary, but it\u2019s atmospheric, confident, and a reminder that you don\u2019t need much more than darkness, rain, and something unseen to make your skin crawl.<\/p><hr \/><h4>16. <em>Halloween<\/em> (2018)<\/h4><p>We had to go with <em>Halloween<\/em> (2018) since the original isn\u2019t on Disney+ or Hulu, but honestly, this one earns its place. It\u2019s one of those rare sequels that actually feels like a worthy continuation of the original\u2019s legacy. It strips away the odd sequels and reboots and goes straight back to what made the first so chilling: the silence, the inevitability, and that emotionless mask watching from the dark.<\/p><p>Forty years after the original murders, Michael Myers escapes captivity and returns to Haddonfield, his presence turning the quiet town into a hunting ground once again. Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode, now a survivor who\u2019s spent decades preparing for the day she knew would come. The film flips the story\u2019s focus, turning her into the hunter as much as the haunted.<\/p><hr \/><h4>17. <em>Saw<\/em> (2004)<\/h4><p data-start=\"347\" data-end=\"601\">When I was in secondary school, <em data-start=\"379\" data-end=\"384\">Saw<\/em> was one of those films whispered about between friends who\u2019d managed to see it. It carried this strange mystique, part horror, part urban legend, mostly because of that ending.<\/p><p data-start=\"603\" data-end=\"1062\">The story follows two men who wake up chained in a grimy bathroom, each given cryptic instructions by a killer who wants to test their will to live. It blends gore with genuine mystery, playing out almost like a detective noir, piecing together clues and motives against the clock. It\u2019s a film that made you squirm, sure, but it also made you think, and that balance is what\u2019s kept it iconic.<\/p><hr \/><h4>18. <em>Black Swan<\/em> (2010)<\/h4><p data-start=\"233\" data-end=\"633\"><em data-start=\"233\" data-end=\"245\">Black Swan<\/em> takes the beauty of ballet and twists it into something deeply unsettling. Darren Aronofsky turns the pursuit of artistic perfection into a slow psychological collapse, where control and elegance give way to obsession and decay. Natalie Portman\u2019s performance as Nina captures that descent with painful precision, as every step and spin chips away at who she is beneath the performance.<\/p><p data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"1134\">In short, Nina lands the lead in <em data-start=\"682\" data-end=\"693\">Swan Lake<\/em>, a role that demands she embody both innocence and darkness. As the pressure mounts, her grip on reality begins to blur, and the line between performance and self starts to fracture. It\u2019s the horror of losing yourself so completely to perfection that you forget what it means to simply exist.<\/p><p data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"1134\">By the end, Nina\u2019s brilliance and breakdown become one and the same, and it\u2019s honestly quite a depressing film, and I love depressing films\u2026<\/p><hr \/><h4>19. <em>Evil Dead<\/em> (2013)<\/h4><p>Few remakes manage to stand shoulder to shoulder with their originals, but <em data-start=\"321\" data-end=\"332\">Evil Dead<\/em> (2013) earns its place through sheer ferocity. It takes Sam Raimi\u2019s cult classic and reimagines it with sharper teeth and meaner, bloodier, and far more psychologically punishing. Gone is the camp humour of the 1980s version; in its place is a relentless atmosphere of dread.<\/p><p>The story is about a group of friends retreating to a remote cabin to help one of them overcome addiction, only to uncover a cursed book that unleashes something truly horrific. What makes it work is how grounded it feels. The horror isn\u2019t just from the supernatural, but from grief, guilt, and the way trauma consumes people. It\u2019s not just a bloodbath for the sake of it; every splatter means something.<\/p><hr \/><h4>20. <em>Poltergeist<\/em> (2015)<\/h4><p>The 2015 remake of <em>Poltergeist<\/em> had big shoes to fill, taking on one of the most iconic haunted house stories ever made: a family move into their dream home, only to find something very wrong beneath the plaster and paint. The takeaway is, before buying a house, always check if it\u2019s built on, let\u2019s say, questionable land.<\/p><p>While it trades some of the eerie charm of the original for slicker visuals, <em>Poltergeist <\/em>still captures that strange blend of cosy suburban comfort and creeping dread. It\u2019s one of those films where you\u2019re never quite sure who the real villain is: the cursed land beneath the home or the property developers.<\/p><p>Horror doesn\u2019t always need to come from the unknown; sometimes it\u2019s just bad real estate.<\/p><hr \/><h4>21. <em>The Menu<\/em> (2022)<\/h4><p><em>The Menu<\/em> is one of those films that creeps up on you. On the surface, it\u2019s about fine dining and exclusivity, but beneath the truffle foam and micro herbs lies a brutal dissection of obsession, privilege, and the empty pursuit of perfection.<\/p><p>A group of guests travel to a remote island for an exclusive dining experience hosted by an enigmatic chef, but as each course is served, it becomes clear that this meal has more on offer than anyone expected.<\/p><p>It\u2019s a horror film served cold; all precision and tension, building through quiet glances and awkward silences. The restaurant\u2019s clinical design and meticulous presentation start to feel more like a trap than a luxury. What makes it truly unsettling is how believable it all feels, that you could sit down to dinner and only realise too late what's really on the menu.<\/p><hr \/><h4>22. <em>The Night House<\/em> (2021)<\/h4><p><em>The Night House<\/em> sits in that uneasy space between grief and the supernatural. It\u2019s not loud or showy, but it gets under your skin in the way true horror should. The story follows a recently widowed woman who begins to uncover strange patterns and impossible reflections within her lakeside home, leading her to question what her late husband was hiding, and what might still be lingering there.<\/p><p>What makes it so effective is how it turns grief itself into the haunting. Every quiet moment, every reflection, feels like a question you don\u2019t want answered. It\u2019s a story about how loss reshapes the world around us, twisting absence into presence until you\u2019re not sure what\u2019s real. The horror here isn\u2019t about what\u2019s in the dark, but the creeping realisation that the dark has already found its way inside.<\/p><hr \/><h4>23. <em>Barbarian<\/em> (2022)<\/h4><p><em>Barbarian<\/em> is one of those films that proves horror can still catch you off guard. It starts with something simple \u2014 a double-booked Airbnb \u2014 and unravels into something far stranger and far darker. What makes it so effective is how it plays with comfort and control, letting both slip away one uneasy moment at a time. Every choice feels wrong, every corridor feels like it\u2019s leading somewhere you don\u2019t want to go.<\/p><p>It\u2019s a story about trust, danger, and how quickly both can collapse when fear takes hold. Beneath the shocks and reveals, <em>Barbarian<\/em> is really about the monsters that live in plain sight and how often we choose not to see them. It\u2019s clever, claustrophobic, and proof that sometimes curiosity is the real killer.<\/p><hr \/><h4>24. <em>28 Weeks Later<\/em> (2007)<\/h4><p><em>28 Weeks Later<\/em> often gets called the weakest of the <em>28 Days Later<\/em> series, but that\u2019s selling it short. It picks up months after the outbreak seen in <em data-start=\"196\" data-end=\"211\">28 Days Later<\/em>, with NATO forces helping to repopulate London after the rage virus has supposedly been wiped out. The fragile calm doesn\u2019t last long as one mistake reignites the nightmare, and the infection tears through the survivors all over again.<\/p><p data-start=\"451\" data-end=\"757\">It\u2019s a colder, more chaotic film than its predecessor, but still carries that same pulse of dread. And while <em data-start=\"560\" data-end=\"575\">28 Days Later<\/em> would have absolutely made this list if it were available on Disney+ or Hulu, this sequel does a fine job of keeping the horror alive until <em data-start=\"716\" data-end=\"732\">28 Years Later<\/em> brings it full circle<\/p><hr \/><h4>25. <em>The Nightmare Before Christmas<\/em> (1993)<\/h4><p>Alright, let\u2019s end on a bit of a curveball. I know we said teenagers were one of the scariest things out there, but the true greatest horror imaginable, the most terrifying act of all, is Christmas. Jack Skellington\u2019s well-meaning attempt to bring festive cheer to Halloween Town ends up being more nightmare than Noel, proving that even the Pumpkin King should stick to what he knows.<\/p><p>It\u2019s spooky, it\u2019s sweet, and it's still one of the most iconic \u201chorror\u201d films you can show to a five-year-old. The stop-motion animation is gorgeous, the songs are timeless, and the whole thing is wrapped in a beautifully macabre bow. It\u2019s gothic comfort cinema at its best, the perfect way to unwind after all the blood, guts, and existential dread on this list.<\/p><hr \/><h3>The ultimate horror film setup<\/h3><h4>REL HT\/1510 Predator Subwoofer<\/h4><p><em>The best for adding massive low-end presence<\/em><\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-47100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/REL-HT-1510-Predator-Subwoofer-Black-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"REL HT\/1510 Predator Subwoofer, Black\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p><ul><li>RELS flagship HT subwoofer<\/li><li>15\u201d CarbonGlas driver<\/li><li>1000W of output power<\/li><li>Line array compatible<\/li><li>Flagship of the range<\/li><\/ul><p>https:\/\/www.av.com\/Speakers\/REL-HT-1510-Predator-Subwoofer-Black\/4ZY6<\/p><hr \/><h4>Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 Bookshelf Speakers<\/h4><p><em>Best for compact 2- or 3-channel bookshelf speaker setups<\/em><\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-47101\" src=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bowers-Wilkins-606-S3-Bookshelf-Speakers-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 Bookshelf Speakers\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p><ul><li>Decoupled dome titanium tweeter<\/li><li>Clear and wide soundstage<\/li><li>Flowport Bass-reflex enhances low-end clarity and spacing<\/li><li>5\u201d Mid\/bass Driver<\/li><li>606 is almost 666 (oooh)<\/li><\/ul><hr \/><h4>JBL MA510 5.2 Channel 8K AV Receiver<\/h4><p><em>Best for beginning to build a slimline 5.2 capable system<\/em><\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-47102\" src=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/JBL-MA510-5.2-Channel-8K-AV-Receiver-White-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"JBL MA510 5.2 Channel 8K AV Receiver, White\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p><ul><li>Can process 8K visuals at 60Hz<\/li><li>HDR10+ and Dolby Vision compatible<\/li><li>Networkable audio playback<\/li><li>75W RMS power output<\/li><li>Scary value for money<\/li><\/ul><hr \/><h3>FAQs<\/h3><h4>What's the most viewed horror movie?<\/h4><p>The most viewed horror movie is <em>It<\/em> (2017).

These franchises defined slasher cinema and created the genre\u2019s most iconic killers.<\/p><hr \/><h3>Final thoughts<\/h3><p>Well, ghosts and ghouls, we\u2019ve made it to the end of the <strong>best horror films on Disney+<\/strong>. Whether you agree with every choice or not, hopefully, it\u2019s reminded you why horror is such a fascinating genre. It\u2019s not just about the scares; it\u2019s about curiosity, catharsis, and the thrill of peering into the dark just to see what looks back.<\/p><p>Vincent Price once said, \u201cIt\u2019s as much fun to scare as to be scared,\u201d and that feels about right. The real magic of horror is in that shared tension, the grin you get after a good fright, and the way a film can linger long after the lights come up.<\/p><p>So, as another spooky season rolls around, maybe put on one of these films, dim the lights, and listen carefully. Because no matter how old we get, there\u2019s still something thrilling about things that go bump in the night.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[63,139,5],"tags":[108,44],"class_list":["post-47083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home-cinema-guides","category-guides-2","category-home-cinema","tag-blog-category-guides-2","tag-home-cinema"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
