Don’t read any further if you frighten easily.
October is when thoughts turn to Halloween and what better way to celebrate than by slashing through some horror movies?
We could go obvious with the actual “Halloween” franchise of movies, but that would be boring.
So, instead, here are seven other movies currently streaming which are scary good:
“The Amityville Horror”
Whether it’s the 1979 original or the 2005 remake, this film about a couple who finds trouble after they move into a house with a bloody history might unsettle you every time you hear a creak in your own home.
Both versions are streaming on Hulu, , iTunes, Google Play, Vudu and YouTube.
“Velvet Buzzsaw”
This supernatural horror film boasts an all-star cast, including Jake Gyllenhaal, John Malkovich, Rene Russo, Toni Collette and Daveed Diggs.
There’s also plenty of art in this film, which revolves around the world of wealthy art collectors and a supernatural force that is unleashed when creativity meets commerce.
The movie is streaming on Netflix.
“The Exorcist”
Like, duh.
