Hulu has a wealth of great scary horror movies available to stream right now, and we've picked out some of the best. The sheer number of streaming services available now means it's sometimes hard to know what to watch, but it's hard to deny that it's a great time to be a movie fan. Whatever genre you like, there's a huge number of movies available on both the big platforms and more niche services, and horror fans are perhaps the best served of all.

Hulu's selection is heavier on modern horror than older classics, but that makes it a great place to catch up on some stand-out chillers from the past two decades. Monster movie fans can check out the hungry alligators of Crawl and subterranean creatures in The Descent, while those who prefer vampires and zombies have got favorites such as Let the Right One In and 28 Days Later to watch.

There's movies from established filmmakers such as Danny Boyle, Lars Von Trier, and William Friedkin, and some from rising genre talents like Brandon Cronenberg and Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. It's not all newer movies either--fans can get ready for the upcoming Chucky TV show with the original Child's Play, while the classic '70s sci-fi oddity Phase IV will terrify anyone who hates creepy-crawlies.
