A selection of the best shows and films to stream on Netflix this Halloween

Scrolling through Netflix to find something new to stream can be as stress-inducing as any horror movie at the best of time, and with so many Halloween-appropriate offerings to choose from this spooky season, you might find yourself a little spoilt for choice.

Thankfully, whether you’re after genuine scares, spooky thrills or more family-friendly fun, we’ve rounded up a load of our top picks to help you get in the spirit.

Here are our ultimate Halloween recommendations you can stream on Netflix right now...

KPop Demon Hunters

KPop Demon Hunters has had a massive year in 2025

Unquestionably the movie event of 2025 so far, KPop Demon Hunters has not only become Netflix’s most-watched original movie of all time, it’s also dominated both the cultural zeitgeist and, indeed, the pop charts.

So, if you’ve held off KPop Demon Hunters until now (or you just need an excuse to watch the tear-jerking This Is What Feels Like or euphoric Soda Pop sequences for the zillionth time), then Halloween is the perfect time to indulge.

Scream

Scream is undoubtedly one of the most influential and beloved movies in horror history – and this year, it’s available to watch on Netflix alongside its first two sequels, should you want to make it a triple billing.

Wes Craven’s iconic slasher boasts a hefty all-star cast (including everyone from Neve Campbell and Rose McGowan to Courteney Cox, David Arquette and Drew Barrymore), some truly unforgettable kills, countless meta twists and turns and, of course, introduces one of the genre’s most memorable villains ever in “Ghostface”.

Ghostbusters

It’s been more than 40 years, and no one has ever managed to quite merge the world of comedy and the supernatural in a way quite as iconic as Ghostbusters.

Across the decades, there’ve been countless spin-offs, reboots and revivals, but if you do decide to throw it back to 1984 this Halloween, you’ll quickly discover that there’s no beating the original in this instance.

Addams Family Values

Starting with what we can only describe as the ultimate Halloween film (and, frankly, one of the best films of all time full stop), Addams Family Values leans into all things macabre, off-kilter and, frankly, weird, but also manages to pack in glamour, big laughs and countless iconic one-liners you’ll find yourself quoting for weeks afterwards.

Come for Anjelica Huston’s never-bettered Morticia Addams, stay for Christina Ricci’s definitive (sorry, Jenna Ortega) Wednesday performance and the delightfully deranged Debbie Jelinsky, played by Joan Cusack.
