With Halloween in a couple of weeks, I wanted to share the best movies and series you can watch this Halloween on Netflix.
To begin with, I have Netflix Denmark, so the movies and series may vary depending on the country you are watching Netflix in, but I have listed if the movie or series is a Netflix Original as those are generally available in all regions. The movies and series also often have multiple genres and themes, but I sorted them by what I believed fit the movie and series best. I added a family-friendly section for kids of all ages and 7+, and the movies and series for all ages will be noted. Lastly, the age ratings are based on the rating on Netflix, but parental discretion is always advised. This is the emoji I used for movies and series that are for kids of all ages:

If you would like more Netflix recommendations, you can check out My Top Netflix Picks. I have also shared The 25 Best Disney+ Movies to Watch This Halloween.
I love this! There’s so many great shows and films on Netflix. I still have a lot on my watch list. I really love so many on this list!
Thank you! Netflix does have so many great shows and movies!
The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor are my favorites. I’m still hoping they will come out with a similar series to those. We just finished the 100, and we’ve also seen Shadow hunters, the order, and the society. We are patiently waiting for the last season of The umbrella Academy. Locke & Key was amazing, and I highly recommend The Magicians.
Thank you for sharing this list. I will definitely check out some of the ones we haven’t seen yet.
I liked The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, and I hope they come up with similiar series too!
I haven’t seen The 100, but my mom has and liked it which is why I included it here!
I’ll have to check out The Magicians!
You have so many amazing selections. Some I haven’t watched yet snd need to check out!!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy my suggestions!
I’m not a fan of spooky stuff. But I do like dark comedies, vampire and dystopian movies. Thank you for your recommendations.
I tried to something for everyone! You’re welcome!
Thanks so much for sharing! We enjoyed Hubie Halloween but haven’t seen most of these.
You’re welcome! Hubie Halloween was a fun movie as Adam Sandler’s movies tend to be.
This is interesting and I like that it’s under categories that I can find movies on this list. Thank you for reading!
You’re welcome!
Some amazing Netflix picks for Halloween! Lots of these I haven’t heard of but I’m interested in watching them! x

Thanks! Netflix has a lot of great movies & series to watch!
I’m looking at the ones with ticks next to them because I am a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to the scarier or gory films/tv shows! Saying that I really enjoyed Dead To Me and The Umbrella Academy. And I have never seen Twilight but I definitely need to because that is the theme of my house’s Halloween party x
That’s okay! I don’t like gory movies, but I do like ones that are more creepy.
Both of those are great series! I’m not really a Twilight fan, but you should give it a go because there are many that do like the movies.
Some great classics here, I do prefer the family-friendly Halloween films as I jump a mile at the really scary horrors and thrillers! x
Lucy | http://www.lucymary.co.uk
Thanks! I like family-friendly films too, but it’s fun to watch an occassional thriller!
You have quite the list! I really enjoyed The Haunting of Hillhouse. Sure, it has its ghost scares, but it’s the realistic depiction of mental health, PTSD, and family relationships that really shine!
I enjoyed The Haunting of Hill House too & I agree.
Wow….looks like you have a cool binge-watching list for Halloween. Enjoy, have fun & stay safe.
Thank you & you too!
Thank you for this list!
I love How To Get Away with Murder. The Netflix original ones I’ve never heard of before, but will check out.
We also must check out Squid Game.
Liking the family friendly section.
You’re welcome! There are so many great Netflix Original series & movies & Squid Game is definitely worth watching!
What a list! Love how you’ve broken them down into categories too that’s seriously impressive. Tried to think of some family-friendly content for my own blog in October but really struggled!
There’s so many great options to talk about, if I went through all of them I’d never stop typing, but I just seriously love some of the horror/thriller content on offer!
Great job compiling these.
Thank you! I thought the categories would be helpful as I know there are some genres I tend to avoid like slashers & zombies. Plus I also have a daughter so I wanted to include some family-friendly movies & series too.
That is a very extensive list. I never knew Netflix had all this.
Yes there’s so much on Netflix!!
This is the list I needed as I was just talking to my husband about finding things to watch this Halloween season. We just got done watching ‘Midnight Mass’ and would highly recommend it. Its so insidiously creepy it has an amazing atmosphere and story! Thanks for sharing this!
Ooo that’s great to hear you recommend Midnight Mass! Right now I’m watching The Chestnut Man with my partner. It’s a Danish series & it’s quite interesting
The paranormal and supernatural movie and series list. I thoroughly enjoy watching scary movies/series. Keeps me entertained like no other. Amazing selection Karalee. 👌
I enjoy paranormal & supernatural mvoies & series!! I hope you find something new you like to watch!
wow – such a great list here! i love how you categorized them to a genre. very easy to navigate & a post i’ll be referencing during my next movie night. thanks for sharing.
Thank you! & I thought it would be would be helpful as there are some genres I personally avoid like slashers & zombie films/series.
Hi Karalee,
What a comprehensive list! You really know your Halloween films and series, don’t you?
I usually like my horror films to be … well, full of horror. So, I wasn’t sure that I would enjoy Zombieland. But I did! I really liked it (and the sequel). Horror and comedy combined can work (sometimes!).
I’ve just finished watching the Dusk till Dawn Netflix series and really enjoyed that too.
Thanks! Haha I tend to prefer mystery movies & series, but I do enjoy the occassional horror comedy. I just watched the Zombieland sequel last week as I’ve never seen it before, but I loved the first one. Both are great movies!
That’s great to hear you enjoyed Dusk Till Dawn!
You got me at paranormal. I’m excited to try some of these Netflix shows. Thank you so much for the many Netflix recommendations.
You’re welcome! I hope you find a new series to watch that you like!
Oh my gosh this is such an amazing list. I was just thinking about how I needed another spooky show to watch after finishing my rewatch of The Haunting of Hillhouse!
Thank you! I loved The Haunting of Hill House! I hope you can find something else to watch!
I need some new things to watch on netflix so this list is perfect!
That’s great to hear!
You have so many great scary movies on here, I loved the Autopsy of Jane Doe it was so terrifying!
Ooo I haven’t seen that movie so I definitely should!
There are a lot of great movies on this list! I like the family-friendly, comedy, psychological and paranormal movies.
I prefer those genres too over the others!
Corpse Bridge and Hotel Transylvania are my go-to Halloween movies, but I’ll check out the list under the family-friendly section since I can’t do horror/creepy/thrillers 😂
Both of those are great movies! That’s perfectly fine b/c not everyone likes scary & creepy movies!
Great list, there are so many amazing films on here, I love it! One film I always like to watch this time of year is Game Night (2018) – it’s a comedy but has mystery elements and is such a fun watch!
Anika
Thank you! Ooo I liked that movie!
Great list! We also enjoyed the A list and the Outer Banks.
Thank you! Ooo I’ll have to check those out!
I love rewatching AHS for halloween, along with a nightmare before christmas! I recently finished the haunting of bly manor, was a little bit disappointed that it wasn’t as scary as people made it out to be, but it was good anyway!
Yes! I wish they didn’t remove AHS from Netflix, but I recorded the nightmare before christmas last time they showed it on tv & I rewatched it the other week haha
I haven’t finished bly manor yet, but I heard it wasn’t as scary as the haunting of hill house, but I’m still enjoying it!
Such a great list – you’ve included so many classics and I love how you’ve listed dystopian and thriller movies that people might not typically watch on Halloween!
Serena
Thank you! Yes I wanted to provide a range of genres b/c they’re still scary in a sense
This looks like a good list. I am not great with scary movies, I have to hide behind someone or a pillow ha ha! Thank you for sharing.
Lauren
Thank you! There are some movies where I’m like that too, but it’s fun being scared especially around Halloween!
This is such a brilliant list! I’ll admit, I’ve seen most of the Horror’s you’ve mentioned. I’m not big into slasher but I love Horror and Paranormal so I’ve worked my way through most of them! I really need some new scary Horror’s to come on Netflix ASAP!
Haha that’s amazing you’ve seen most of them! I know the second season of Unsolved Mysteries came out today. On the 30th, The Day of the Lord, which is an exorcism movie & His House, which seems like paranormal movie from the trailer, are coming out!
I watched Vampires vs. the Bronx today and enjoyed it. I wish they still had Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Netflix because that’s one of my favorites! Guess I’m just a “sucker” for vampire content… ahaha
That’s great to hear you enjoyed it!
Netflix removes so many great shows
I love how extensive this list is! And it’s great that you broke it down into subcategories too, there’s something here for everyone. I haven’t really gotten into the spooky season spirit yet but I need to start soon. I watched Bly Manor this week and it’s really made me want to rewatch Hill House x
Thank you! I thought the subcategories would be helpful b/c I don’t like slashers at all, but I love mysteries & paranormal movies & series.
I’ve been in the spooky season spirit since last month lol & I need to finish Bly Manor!
These movie looks so interesting! I’m so happy to have So many movie to enjoy this year!😃
Thanks for sharing

Yes there’s so many great movies on Netflix!
Amazing choices 😍! I am actually planning a Halloween night with my boyfriend and a friend so a list of horror movies was needed!!
That sounds so fun! I hope you have a fun Halloween!
Love watching Halloween movies and series! Yesterday I saw IT: Chapter One and it was so scary but very nicely made. I like to watch Addams Family and Hotel Transylvania with the whole family. On Netflix Ratched has captured me. The styling and the houses in that series are out of this world!
Yes IT is scary, but I liked it & Chapter Two is great too! I’m pretty sure I have The Addams Family on DVD somewhere & Hotel Transylvania is always great!
YES I love the scenes in Ratched too!
I need to see Chapter Two before Halloween!
What a comprehensive list!! I’ve just started watching Umbrella Academy, so I’ll probably be making my way through that this Halloween!
I LOVE The Umbrella Academy & I hope you’re enjoying it!
I didnt know Divergent was on Netflix! My all time favorite Halloween movies are The Nightmare Before Christmas and Halloweentown. This is an amazing list and I’m going to have to check several of these out asap
Thanks! I love The Nightmare Before Christmas too & I watched it the other day with my bf haha. I need to watch Halloweentown!
I have been looking for some good things to watch and this list is AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you & you’re welcome!!!
Thanks for sharing. I love Halloween movies.
Me too!
I have never used Netflix but loved Hush and all the Twilight saga movies. The Conjuring series is great too. I did not really like the Scream movies but loved all the Annabelle ones. I also love Casper and the Hotel Transylvania movies. I am hoping to find some good movies this Halloween or I’ll just watch my favourites. I am also looking for readathons that are related to Halloween. Any recommendations? Did Spookathon last year and I will be doing the Dewey’s Readathon next weekend as a co host, reader and Goodreads moderator. Whatever I do, I hope to get some time to enjoy Halloween books. Hope you enjoy Halloween.
I love Netflix & my mum is on my account so she can watch anything she wants too.
I haven’t seen The Conjuring or Annabelle movies, but I should! Casper is a classic & the Hotel Transylvania movies are great!
For a book recommendation, I’m reading Hallowe’en Party by Agatha Christie!
I hope you have a great Halloween too!
I need to try Netflix. Thanks for the book recommendation. Definitely watch those movies I suggested
I absolutely love the Hotel transylvania films. I’m such a big kid and i cant stand horror films so for me at this time of year its kiddie movies and Harry Potter!!!🎃
Yes! I like scary movies, but there are some I will never watch like all the slashers. I LOVE the Harry Potter movies & I have them all recorded from when they showed them on tv haha
Pretty exhaustive list! I will definitely check some of these out! THANKS!
No problem!
Definitely a couple of good ones here on this list! 😀😀 Nice to see you enjoyed Hush and the Ritual both very underrated movies in my opinion!
The Rain was a very good show by the way!
Definitely! Yes they’re underrated, but they’re both great movies!
I still haven’t finished The Rain, but I should soon!
