You don't need to add another streaming subscription service to your monthly budget to get your horror fix this spooky season. Plex has a surprisingly solid lineup of free movies, including a few chilling gems added this month that deserve way more attention than they got. And I say that as a huge fan of the genre who's seen tons of horror movies over the years.
Whether you're in the mood for supernatural scares, deeply unsettling folk horror or a brutal slasher, I've picked out three underrated horror movies you can stream on Plex right now without paying a dime.
From the nightmarish twists of "Talk to Me" to the sun-drenched dread of "Midsommar" and Rob Zombie's peak aughts vibes in his divisive 2007 "Halloween" remake, these horror movies deserve a spot on your watchlist — just don't blame us when you have to sleep with the lights on.
"Talk to Me's" haunting mother-daughter story hit me at exactly the right time; after wowing audiences in Australia, it landed in theaters stateside in 2023 just a few months after my mom passed away. It follows a group of friends who play a "Bloody Mary" style party game with an embalmed hand, only to discover it's actually a ritual for summoning spirits. As hokey as I found the premise at first, "Talk to Me" ended up being one of the best horror movies I'd seen in years — something its 94% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes speaks to.
At first, the friends are thrilled to let spirits temporarily possess their bodies, treating it like a game.
