The Best Horror Movies on Max to Stream Right Now
maximum That’s a lot, but what about the horror movie selection? Films rotate throughout the year, so now you can watch new movies like “Maxxine” and classics like “Eraserhead.” You may find a video below that will allow you to skip the long search.
If you’re ready to pick up a horror movie, here are nine great Max horror movies. According to Metacritic, all of these films received generally favorable reviews or better. Max combines the HBO Max and Discovery Plus libraries and starts at $10 per month.
Beetlejuice (1988) and Beetlejuice 2 (2024)
Michael Keaton’s ghost causes the most chaos in Max’s two films. You can watch horror comedy Beetlejuice and its 2024 sequel, which also stars Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara, on the streaming service now.
When the film based on Stephen King’s classic novel was released in 2017, moviegoers like me watched Storm Drains and Scared Red Balloons twice. A group of brave kids and a heart make a compelling case for more supernatural coming-of-age stories. And a strong case against the Joker.
David Lynch’s first feature-length film will make you feel like you’re in a bizarre nightmare. This 90-minute black-and-white horror film is filled with strange sounds and images, and the results are incredibly eerie. And don’t get me started on the weird, otherworldly “baby” of the main character (which, oddly enough, is still kind of cute?). There’s a message here about men and parenthood, but even setting aside the bigger picture, the surreal world of Eraserhead is definitely worth a visit.
The horror film “Maxxxine” starring Mia Goth is the sequel to Dee West’s films “X” and “The Pearl.” The series follows Maxine Minx as she pursues stardom in 1980s Hollywood while trying to hide from killers.
Night of the Living Dead(1968)
George Romero’s first horror film is an easy recommendation. A group of survivors take refuge in a house while members of the undead swarm outside. This influential film is often considered the first modern zombie movieWhile it may not offer Freddy Krueger-level scares, you’ll be drawn to the characters at the center of the story. You’ll want to keep the door open for this (but in a truly apocalyptic situation, keep it very, very closed).
Ari Aster’s unforgettable film tells the story of horrific events that occurred in broad daylight. Midsommar is set during the Midsummer Festival in a remote Swedish village and has many unsettling surprises in store for its guests. Get ready for some shocking scenes and gripping performances from Florence Pugh.
In this bloody supernatural horror story, a family unexpectedly discovers something unimaginable evil. This is the third film in the series, following The Evil Dead (1981), The Evil Dead II (’87), Army of Darkness (’92), and The Evil Dead (2013). Five parts.
