Great horror movies to watch free (Netflix and Prime)

I’m looking through Rotten Tomatoes’ top 75 horror movies, and pinging back and forth between Netflix and Amazon Prime to see what they have. I’m also putting some good ones I know are available, that may not be on RT’s list.

I didn’t look up everything on the list, and of course there are lots of good horror movies that aren’t on the Rotten Tomatoes top 75, so add your own too!

(Many may be available on both services - I didn’t check)

These are all available on Netflix Watch Instantly:

Dracula
The Mummy
Session 9
Troll Hunter
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil
The House on Haunted Hill
Nosferatu
Piranha
The Wolf Man
Theater of Blood
Let the Right One In
The Invisible Man
Slither
Snow White: A Tale of Terror
Bubba Ho-Tep
Night of the Comet
Creepshow
Hellraiser
House
Fido
An American Werewolf in London
The Relic
Call of Cthulhu
Mimic
Parents
The Host

And on Amazon Prime Instant Video:

Re-animator
The Wicker Man (1973)
Evil Dead 2
Don’t Look Now
Children of the Corn
Teeth
Poltergeist
The Haunting
The Descent
Ginger Snaps

They both also seem to have Troll 2 and and Netflix has Birdemic, two of the most famous so-bad-it’s-good horror movies.

The House of the Devil
The Innkeepers
The Omen
The Fog
The Sentinel
I Spit On Your Grave
Woman
The Stuff
The Last House on the Left
Carrie
Red, White and Blue
Life Force

The Last Man on Earth (with Vincent Price, the first version of I Am Legend) - in the public domain, so it’s available to watch free from several websites.

Are Netflix and Amazon Prime free? I seriously doubt it…

The Thing (1982) and The Prince of Darkness (both by John Carpenter) are on Netflix Instant.

Even so I may just sign up for the free month trial just to get my Halloween on!

Well, no, I guess. But we already belong to both, to satisfy the urgent need for a constant stream of kid shows and to ease the shipping pain of being hermits who prefer to shop for everything on the internet, so for us it’s no additional charge.

Sorry, that $0.00! next to the videos seduced me.

Still, if you’re already paying to keep a pipeline of Dora the Explorer to your house, it’s a good deal. :smiley:
