The Best Horror Movies Streaming Now on Prime Video

Last Updated: November 7, 2024

In a surprising turn of events, it seems that Prime Video will have the most titles for genre kids this month. They are adding classics like Invasion of the Body Snatchers and wild cards that did not get enough love like Good Boy!. They will also add Dune (2021) for anyone still threatening to finally commit to this epic tale. The app also plans to hit the nostalgia button with a Cruel Intentions reboot series premiering on November 21. So, there is something for everyone this month. This made it hard to just pick five titles. However, I march to the beat of my own weird drummer, so ultimately, only a few movies truly matched my freak. I am excited to show you what chaos awaits you on the streamer this month. Let us begin! 

Check out which five titles have my attention this November.

Abigail (dir. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett)

A group of criminals kidnap a ballerina and are then locked into a mansion with their charge. They soon learn they are actually trapped inside with a bloodthirsty creature. I love a Radio Silence party because it usually includes gallons of blood, a pile of bodies, and a wrecked home I could never afford to even dream of living in. Their movies also have loveable ensembles and a dark sense of humor, so I was one of the many people who danced out of the theater in love with Abigail. This movie also gives us another iconic Melissa Barrera character while introducing many of us to the twirling terror that is Alisha Weir.

Carrie (dir. Brian De Palma)

A bullied girl with an abusive mother finally strikes back after being humiliated at prom. This is possibly one of Stephen King’s most beloved stories. It is definitely one of his most adapted novels. However, this is one of those situations where nothing has been as good as the original. This Brian De Palma classic starring Sissy Spacek is unmatched and one of the pillars of the good-for-her horror subgenre. So, of course, Carrie had to be on the list of Prime Video titles we should have on our radar this month. If we are being totally honest this should probably be at the top of the list of watches this November.

Coraline (dir. Henry Selick)

An 11-year-old finds a hidden door that leads her into a strange alternate version of her life. Unfortunately, if she wants to remain in that world, she must make a terrible sacrifice. I am not usually the biggest fan of children’s movies, but I love Henry Selick’s work. He won me over as a kid with his The Nightmare Before Christmas and proved he still had it with Wendell & Wild in 2022. So, I plan to check out this creepy little moment led by Dakota Fanning while it is streaming. It feels like the best medicine for this weird part of the year when the Halloween season is technically over.

Flight (dir. Robert Zemeckis)

A pilot being hailed as a hero faces an investigation that might prove he was the reason for his flight’s mid-air catastrophe. Denzel Washington thrillers are always in season in my apartment, and this one is on the watch list this month. I am already a nervous flier, and knowing this film is loosely inspired by the 2000 crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 does not help my anxiety. However, I still plan to check out Flight as soon as it lands on Prime Video. My love for Denzel is limitless, and I could really use a Washington Wednesday right now. Might as well start it off with this one and roll into less turbulent titles on his resume.

The Terminator (dir. James Cameron)

A cyborg is sent into the past to kill the woman who will give birth to a warrior who will save humanity. This 1980s gem has robots, time travel, and kicked off a franchise that seems to never truly die. It also has a dream cast that includes Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Michael Biehn, and Lance Henriksen. It even has a very young Bill Paxton playing one of the punks that Arnold beats up and jacks for their clothes. I have been obsessed with The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, for almost my entire life. So, I will use my Prime Video membership to revisit my old friend.
