6 Scary Movies Now Streaming on Netflix

Halloween is this Friday. Get ready for the big day by settling in with a few scary flicks while you contemplate costumes. Is it the "Sexy Olaf" this year, or the "Ice Bucket Challenge?"

For the most part, Netflix is littered with the lowest common denominator in every movie category, but if you dig far enough, you might just find a couple of decent flicks. Here are six of the best horror movies on Netflix you can stream right now.

SCREAM

Rotten Tomatoes Critic Consensus: Horror icon Wes Craven's subversive deconstruction of the genre is sly, witty, and surprisingly effective as a slasher film itself, even if it's a little too cheeky for some.

BLAIR WITCH PROJECT

Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus: Full of creepy campfire scares, mock-doc The Blair Witch Project keeps audiences in the dark about its titular villain -- thus proving that imagination can be as scary as anything onscreen.

EVIL DEAD 2

Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus: Evil Dead 2's increased special effects and slapstick-gore makes it as good -- if not better -- than the original.

CARRIE

Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus: Carrie is a horrifying look at supernatural powers, high school cruelty, and teen angst -- and it brings us one of the most memorable and disturbing prom scenes in history.

FRIGHT NIGHT

Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus: Fright Night deftly combines thrills and humor in this ghostly tale about a man living next to a vampire.

YOU'RE NEXT

Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus: You're Next's energetic and effective mix of brutal gore and pitch black humor will please horror buffs and beyond.
