10 Scary Movies to Stream on Shudder for Halloween

Halloween is on a Saturday this year, which means you’re clear to spend hours sprawled on your couch eating fun-sized candy bars and watching horror movies. If the spirit moves you, here are 13 favorites available on Shudder that will inject some genuine cinematic frights into the ghastliest night of the year.

David Dastmalchian, so often seen in memorable supporting roles, makes good on his main character energy by playing an oily 1970s talk-show host hiding an awful secret. Hoping to boost his ratings, he schedules a live occult-themed episode to entice viewers on Halloween, and things do not go as planned. Styled as a documentary examining what really happened that night, Late Night With the Devil has an eerie story that’s cleverly couched in a note-perfect rendering of a bygone broadcast era.

Ghostwatch surely influenced Late Night With the Devil, as well as countless other found-footage tales—with the added cultural cachet that when it originally aired on the BBC, some viewers believed they were watching a real news special, not a scripted story. Some terrified viewers, that is, because Ghostwatch purports to investigate a haunted house that eventually breaks containment, sending evil spirits through the TV sets of anyone who happened to be watching. Even if you know it’s fictional, it still feels equal parts totally authentic and freaky as hell.

Hokum signaled Damian McCarthy’s Hollywood breakthrough, but his previous film—about a blind woman investigating her sister’s murder with the help of her psychic powers and some malevolently enchanted objects—is still his most shriek-inducing.
