As Netflix’s library of films ebbs and flows, finding the right movie to watch can feel like bailing out an ocean with a spoon. And if you’re looking for a quality horror movie in particular, the search only gets harder. With the reality that Horror is one of the cheapest genres to produce, streamers like Netflix are cluttered with a veritable tsunami of bloody titles that sometimes seem indistinguishable from one another. Curating the 25 scariest movies on Netflix is then quite a process of selection and reduction.

If you’re looking for a good horror movie to watch on Netflix that will truly scare you, picking a final selection can prove a more daunting task than sitting through yet another “Haunting of Hill House” rewatch; with or without its beloved “Bly Manor” chaser. But while the streamer’s priorities seem to shift as quickly as its content selection grows,...

Ready to take another walk on the Shadyside? Four years after Leigh Janiak's Fear Street trilogy, based on R. L. Stine's young adult horror books, weekly dropped on Netflix, the streamer is gearing up for another round of genre homaging goodness with 80s set slasher Fear Street: Prom Queen. Helmed by Matt Palmer, the latest instalment in the franchise is — you guessed it! — a prom night chiller, and one that's set to see a new era of horror begin as a cloaked figure stalks the corridors of Shadyside High School in 1988. Check out the teaser for the movie below;

Pendulous axes. Screaming girls. A blood-spattered mirrorball. Sure, this teaser for Fear Street: Prom Queen is very much just a teaser and nothing more, but once again it looks like Netflix has nailed the vibe of its nostalgic setting and isn't holding back on the bloodiness fourth time around.

Netflix has decreed that it is nearly time to party like it's 1988. The streamer's fruitful deal with Goosebumps and Fear Streetauthor R.L. Stine is heating up as the fourth Fear Street film approaches its long-awaited release. While the original trilogy of teen horror movies did not adapt specific titles from Stine's famous young adult book series, the fourth installment will be directly adapting the 15th Fear Street novel, The Prom Queen. Netflix has released a new teaser for Fear Street: Prom Queen, which comes with an official release date of May 23. Just in time for prom season!

Directed by Matt Palmer, the R-rated horror movie will likely follow in the footsteps of the three prior films, which all heightened the violence and gore of the spooky stories, taking the books originally made for teens and transforming them into modern horror movies fit for an adult audience. If you've never seen...

Netflix has set a premiere date for the next Fear Street movie. Dubbed Fear Street: Prom Queen, the film is set to start streaming globally on Netflix on May 23, 2025.

Based on the book created by R.L. Stine, Fear Street: Prom Queen is directed by Matt Palmer, who co-wrote the script with Donald Mcleary. It is the fourth Fear Street film to be released on Netflix following Leigh Janiak's trilogy: Fear Street Part One: 1994, Fear Street Part Two: 1978, and Fear Street Part Three: 1666. There are also additional films in development beyond Prom Queen. For now, fans can get an early look at Fear Street: Prom Queen ahead of its Netflix debut in May by checking out the first look photos below.

A Fear Street star is set to star in the upcoming Malcolm in the Middle revival.

Shadyside's curse may have been broken in Fear Street Part 3: 1666, but there is even more terror on the horizon in Fear Street: Prom Queen. Following the wildly successful Fear Street trilogy on Netflix, the project was originally pitched as the start of a greater anthology franchise, and there are plenty of R.L. Stine books to draw from. Directed by Leigh Janiak, Fear Street's story is told over three movies that take place in 1994, 1978 and 1666, respectively, and pays homage to horror classics like Scream and Friday the 13th.

Set in the small town of Shadyside, the trilogy follows a group of teens as they try to survive a witch's curse that periodically causes a Shadysider to become possessed and go on a brutal killing spree. Their investigation takes them all the way back to the source of the curse in 1666, when a local witch named Sarah Fier was hanged...

Fear Street: Prom Queen now has an official age rating, and it continues a trend for the Netflix horror movies. Based on the book by author R. L. Stine, the fourth installment in the Fear Street franchise takes place in 1988, chronicling a Prom Queen competition at Shadyside High School in which participants begin to disappear after the emergence of an unusual nominee. Though no Fear Street: Prom Queen trailer has been released just yet, the movie, which hails from director Matt Palmer, is confirmed to release on the streaming service at some point in 2025.

As the wait continues for a trailer, FilmRatings.com now confirms that the MPA has given Fear Street: Prom Queen an R rating for "strong bloody violence and gore, teen drug use, language and some sexual references." All other installments in the franchise have also carried R ratings, and all for similar reasons, though there is some variation between films.

With the success of R.L. Stine's first Fear Street trilogy for Netflix, a new prom queen-centric story is slashing its way onto the streaming service later this year -- one that fans have been eagerly awaiting. Set to release later this year, bringing this classic theme, beloved by horror enthusiasts for its mix of glamour and gore, is a smart move, ripe for reinvention in the Fear Street universe. The buzz around the film isn’t just nostalgia bait, though, with a new generation of horror fans ready to dive in.

Netflix’s gamble on a multi-part horror series paid off handsomely the first time around with the first Fear Street trilogy. With its unique blend of teen drama, brutal kills, and a connecting mystery across three distinct eras, it stood out as one of the most ambitious horror projects in recent memory. The upcoming fourth installment, Fear Street: Prom Queen...

Fear Street is a horror movie series based on R.L. Stine’s popular books, mixing scary slasher moments with spooky supernatural twists. The story centers on a group of teens trying to break a curse that has haunted their town for hundreds of years.

The first three movies, directed by Leigh Janiak, came out on Netflix in July 2021 and received a lot of praise from fans and critics. A fourth film, Fear Street: Prom Queen, directed by Matt Palmer, is scheduled to release in 2025 and will take place between the events of Fear Street: 1994 and Fear Street: 1978.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there! According to R.L. Stine, three more Fear Street movies are being planned, meaning the franchise will continue to deliver chills and thrills for horror fans.

‘Fear Street’ is a horror film series based on R.L. Stine’s books, blending slasher and supernatural elements. The story follows teens working to break a centuries-old curse on their town.

The first three films, directed by Leigh Janiak, were released on Netflix in July 2021 to great reviews. A fourth film, ‘Fear Street: Prom Queen,’ directed by Matt Palmer, is set to debut in 2025.

If the author is to be believed, ‘Prom Queen’ won’t be the end of the franchise as according to Stine, three more movies are on the way.

R.L. Stine confirmed that writers are working on three new ‘Fear Street’ movies, but he didn’t share any details about whether they’ll connect to Leigh Janiak’s trilogy or the upcoming ‘Fear Street: Prom Queen.’

With over 50 books in the series, there’s plenty of material for future films. ‘Prom Queen’, directed by Matt Palmer,...

Fans of R.L. Stine have even more to be thankful for this year, as not only is a new Fear Street movie debuting on Netflix, but the author himself has just confirmed that there are at least three more films in development. The series made its premiere on the streaming service back in 2021 when a trilogy of movies came out just weeks apart, with the news of a fourth standalone film breaking in 2023. Filming on The Prom Queen wrapped in May 2024, and it's been confirmed that it will hit Netflix later this year.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter about the upcoming second season of the Disney+ Goosebumps series, Stine broke the news that "the writers are working" on more Fear Street movies for Netflix, and that he's got his "fingers crossed" they’ll eventually come to fruition. He didn't reveal much else, so it's unclear at this point if it...

Netflix is getting ready to welcome viewers back to Shadyside this year with brand new movie Fear Street: Prom Queen, but Fear Street series author R.L. Stine has revealed to THR that planning is underway on three more Fear Street movies.

“The writers are working,” Stine told the outlet. “So I’ve got my fingers crossed.”

Considering there are over 50 novels included in the original Fear Street series, there are a lot of stories to mine for feature adaptations. The author didn’t divulge any additional details, either, including whether the three new movies will be tied to Leigh Janiak’s trilogy or the upcoming Prom Queen, though it seems likely. We do know that Fear Street: Prom Queen will be nestled between the events of Fear Street: 1994 and Fear Street: 1978. Matt Palmer (Calibre) is directing the franchise’s upcoming fourth installment.

Director Leigh Janiak and the Netflix streaming service brought us a really fun horror event back in the summer of 2021 with the Fear Street trilogy. Three films that were filmed back-to-back-to-back and then released over the course of three weeks – those films being Fear Street Part One: 1994, Fear Street Part Two: 1978, and Fear Street Part Three: 1666. It was an instant franchise, and had the potential to lead to many more films… because, after all, author R.L. Stine has written over 100 books that have been published under the various Fear Street banners. While we won’t be getting another trilogy event this year, we do know that a new addition to the franchise, Fear Street: Prom Queen, will be reaching Netflix sometime in 2025 – and Stine has told The Hollywood Reporter that there actually are three new Fear Street movies in the works!

After telling the interviewer there are three Fear Streets in development,...

More murder and mayhem is coming to Shadyside with three more Fear Street films in development.

That’s according to the master of middle-grade horror, R.L. Stine, who revealed just how many more adaptations of his popular young adult horror novel series are currently in the works while speaking to The Hollywood Reporter ahead of Disney+ Goosebumps: The Vanishing premiere, coming Jan. 10.

“The writers are working,” Stine shared. “So I’ve got my fingers crossed.”

The three films will follow Netflix’s successful 2021, Leigh Janiak-directed trilogy, as well as the upcoming fourth film, The Prom Queen, which has finished filming and is slated for sometime in 2025. (The Hollywood Reporter reached out to Netflix for more details.)

The original YA horror series, which had sold over 80 million copies by 2010, was first released in 1989 with debut title The New Girl, and features 51 books total. That’s alongside more than 100 spinoff entries,...

The Fear Street film trilogy is widely regarded as one of the best horror thriller franchises in recent memory, and fans can now look forward to a fourth installment titled Fear Street: Prom Queen, which is set to premiere on Netflix in 2025. All three prior movies in the series were released on the platform in July 2021, with each one coming out in the subsequent weeks. Following the release of Fear Street Part Three: 1666, director Leigh Janiak expressed interest in continuing the story, apparently wanting to create a slasher film that takes place during the 1980s. By November 2023, Netflix's Head of Film, Scott Stuber, confirmed that it would be a standalone movie rather than the continuation of the prequel events.

In the third film, evil was seemingly vanquished thanks to the continued efforts of Sarah Fier (Kiana Madeira), Ziggy (Gillian Jacobs), and Hannah (Olivia Scott Welch), but the finale suggests otherwise.

The first poster for Fear Street 4, titled Fear Street: Prom Queen, has been unveiled, confirming the release date of the Netflix horror sequel while teasing details for the movie. The streaming platform released the Fear Street trilogy in July 2021, three movies adapted from R.L. Stine's book series of the same name with an interconnected storyline. Stine later announced in January 2024 that the next book would be an adaptation of Prom Queen, the 15th book in the series. It was later revealed to be a standalone sequel to the original trilogy.

Now, Netflix has released the first poster for Fear Street: Prom Queen, confirming a 2025 release window for the upcoming horror sequel. The poster reveals the return of Shadyside High from the original trilogy, with a sign that reads "Senior Prom '88." However, the sign is splattered with blood, while an axe is sitting beside it, also drenched in crimson.

As Halloween draws near, Netflix is rolling out a lineup of spine-chilling films perfect for a night of scares.

This October, horror enthusiasts can look forward to a mix of new releases and classic favorites, each bringing a unique flavor of fear.

From supernatural thrillers to intense psychological dramas, there are various options to set the mood for the spooky season.

Titles like Evil Dead Rise promise gory thrills, while A Quiet Place: Part II keeps audiences on edge with its eerie silence and suspense.

Meanwhile, fans of slashers will appreciate the latest installment of Scream, which delivers both nostalgia and fresh terror.

With these and other selections, Netflix’s horror offerings will surely make this Halloween one to remember.

Will "Stranger Things" go full "Game of Thrones" and kill off most of its characters in its fifth and final season? If stars Millie Bobby Brown and Maya Hawke have any say in the matter, it might -- although showrunners/creators Matt and Ross Duffer seem a tad less inclined to end their remarkably-popular '80s nostalgia-fest with a no-holds-barred bloodbath. Not that this means everyone will be alive and well by the time the good people of Hawkins have concluded their battle with the scheming Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower). In fact, we know for sure one member of the "Stranger Things" gang will be (temporarily?) out of commission when season 5 begins.

For those whose memories have gotten a little rusty in the 84 years since "Stranger Things" dropped new episodes on Netflix, the show's fourth season ended with our favorite red-haired rebel, Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink), comatose after being possessed...

Fear Street: Prom Queen brings 80s horror back with high school intrigue & mysterious disappearances. Netflix peels back the curtain on behind-the-scenes production, heightening anticipation for the latest installment. Fear Street: Prom Queen sets itself apart from original trilogy with fresh narrative, dynamic ensemble cast, and distinct horror approach.

Netflix recently announced that the newest addition to its chilling saga, Fear Street: Prom Queen, has officially begun production. Fans of the series will be transported back to 1988, a year that seeks to merge vintage horrors with high school hierarchy.

Following the secretive production of its initial trilogy, Netflix has decided to peel back the curtain this time around, giving fans a sneak peek (via X) into the creation of their latest horror installment. The behind-the-scenes glimpse heightens the anticipation and also reveals the meticulous craft involved in bringing the terror of Shadyside to life.

Fear Street: Prom Queen Is Now In Production Welcome to Shadyside High.

During the quarantine era of the Covid-19 pandemic, major cultural events were shaped by an internet connection. Many remember the weeks' worth of discussions after watching Netflix's "Tiger King" shortly after the world started shutting down, and the hours spent toiling away in virtual worlds like "Animal Crossing." But for horror fans, one of the biggest events happened in 2021, when Netflix released a trilogy of horror films based on R.L. Stine's "Fear Street" novels, with a new film released three Fridays in a row. Director Leigh Janiak created "Fear Street Part One: 1994," "Fear Street Part Two: 1978," and "Fear Street Part Three: 1666" based on Stine's books but without directly following any specific storyline, and they instantly became must-watch movies.

Horror fans would spend the week between film releases trying to predict what might happen next, share theories on the platform formerly known as Twitter, and get into heated debates...

Horror movies stick with the audience in a whole different way than other movies. On top of interesting characters and plot lines, there are memorable jump scares, plot twists, and occasionally some murderous monsters. Horror, as a genre, is its own beast and the people responsible for it have to wrangle those thrilling stories as best as they can.

There are a plethora of amazing and iconic horror directors. John Carpenter, Sam Raimi, David Cronenberg, and the late Wes Craven are all wonderful examples of exemplary horror directors, but more iconic directors have risen since the 2000s and later. From Saw to Get Out, there are new horror directors ready to take their seat at the legendary horror directors' table.

While pregnancy is touted as one of the most beautiful aspects of life, the journey toward the reward of a bouncing baby is not always smooth. Although considered one of the most "natural" things in the world, the act of pregnancy has symptoms that are strange, physically and emotionally draining, and even life-or-death. There's a user on TikTok referred to as "The Girl with the List" who keeps a list of currently over 300 ways pregnancy and childbirth can ravage your body and mind: making you sick, stretching your skin, feeling like sharp pains in your back, swelling your ankles, losing your hair, weakening your nails, and on and on.

There's something very unsettling about a whole other person growing and moving inside you, absorbing your nutrients, changing who you are inside and out, and then being expelled from your body — sometimes in a violent manner. It's no wonder the horror...

Netflix’s Fear Street franchise launched back in Summer 2021 with three movies, the trilogy saga telling one complete story that spanned from 1666 all the way up to 1994.

Directed by Leigh Janiak, the three movies were Fear Street: 1994, Fear Street: 1978 and Fear Street: 1666, the first film taking a page out of the Scream playbook, the second paying tribute to the golden age of slasher cinema, and the final film turning the clock even further back. What’s next from the saga? The fourth film is titled Fear Street: Prom Queen.

Coming soon, Fear Street: Prom Queen is based on the same-titled book that R.L. Stine published in 1992, and it’s set to take the film franchise – yet again – into a brand new decade.

Fear Street: Prom Queen will be nestled between the events of Fear Street: 1994 and Fear Street: 1978, with the new movie confirmed this week...

Palmer and Donald McLeary are adapting the novel from R.L. Stine’s popular Fear Street book series, with Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping and Kori Adelson producing for Chernin Entertainment.

Fear Street: Prom Queen will be set during prom season at Shadyside High, as “the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown,” according to its logline. “But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.

Netflix's shadiest horror franchise is targeting its next set of victims. The slasher series "Fear Street" debuted back in 2021 as three full-length movies set in the fictional but aptly-named town of Shadyside, based on author R.L. Stine's popular "Cheerleaders" sub-trilogy within the "Fear Street" novels. The mega-sized special event was released over the course of three consecutive weeks on the streaming service (check out /Film's spoiler review of the movies here), pulled in a ton of viewers, earned consistently high praise among critics, and served up all sorts of gory kills and supernatural chills -- along with one heck of a memorable kill by a particularly deadly bread slicer. Fans have been clamoring for more sequels ever since and rumors of new movies have swirled since at least 2022, but now we've heard straight from the studio that another release has officially been greenlit.

The film is set to be adapted from Stine’s 1992 novel The Prom Queen, which is from his Fear Street book series.

“Movie News: I can finally announce that a new Fear Street movie is about to go into production for Netflix,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “It’s based on my Fear Street book, The Prom Queen. Good news!”

The project will be the fourth Fear Street movie adapted from Stine’s popular book series. A trilogy, consisting of Fear Street Part One: 1994, Fear Street Part Two: 1978 and Fear Street Part Three: 1666, was previously released on Netflix over three consecutive weeks in 2021. They were directed by Leigh Janiak and followed a “group of teenagers who discover terrifying events that have haunted their town for generations may all be connected,” per the trilogy’s logline.

A film adaptation of R.L. Stine’s 1992 “Fear Street” novel “The Prom Queen” is in development at Netflix, the author himself reports.

Fear Street 4 will prove that Netflix can create high-quality movie franchises, addressing a long-standing complaint about the streaming service's struggle in this area. With its solid start and positive reception, the Fear Street trilogy has the potential to be Netflix's biggest and most acclaimed movie series, showcasing the platform's ability to make great movie franchises. After the conclusion of Stranger Things, Netflix may focus more on successful movie franchises like Fear Street to attract the show's sizable target audience and potentially shift their content approach towards more movie franchises.

The news that Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy will receive a sequel, Fear Street 4, proves one old complaint about the streaming service wrong. In summer 2021, Netflix released a trio of movies based on author Rl Stine’s Fear Street books. These R-rated horror movies borrowed their inspiration from '90s meta-slashers, grittier '70s genre fare, and historical horror movies. A...

The Fear Street trilogy breaks free from harmful LGBTQ+ tropes seen in the horror genre, allowing Deena and Sam's queer relationship to have a happy ending. Fear Street 4 should respect the subversive and satisfying ending of the trilogy by not undoing Deena and Sam's story, as it would undermine the original movies. If Deena and Sam are not the main leads in Fear Street 4, a new protagonist could be introduced in a modern-day setting while still incorporating Deena and Sam through flashbacks or as mentor characters.

With Fear Street 4 confirmed to be in the works, it’s essential that one element from the original trilogy is honored: its ending. The Fear Street trilogy, based on R.L. Stine’s book series of the same name, follows a group of teens intent on stopping the malevolent curse that has plagued their town for centuries. The trilogy borrows heavily from...

Netflix executive Scott Stuber announced the development of a standalone Fear Street movie, based on R.L. Stine’s coming-of-age horror novel series.

More than two years after the successful debut of its Fear Street trilogy, Netflix finally provided a brand-new update regarding the current status of its horror film franchise. Speaking with Collider, Stuber confirmed that they’re currently developing the script for the next installment, which he described as a standalone story. "There’s one standalone that we’re working on right now that we’re once again trying to get the script right, but I like it very much, and so does the team," he said. "So I feel like if we can get that script right there would be a great kind of extension of that franchise."

Netflix's decision to order a fourth Fear Street movie is exciting but disappointing because it deviates from the successful weekly release strategy of the original trilogy, which turned it into a captivating event. By releasing the movies weekly, Netflix kept audiences engaged and created anticipation for each installment. With more than 150 novels in R.L. Stine's Fear Street book series, Netflix missed an opportunity to recreate the original trilogy's success by only producing one new movie instead of expanding the franchise with multiple installments.

Chloe Okuno is rumored to direct Fear Street 4, indicating a potential shift in tone and the introduction of new characters.

Netflix confirms that Fear Street 4, a sequel to their hit horror trilogy, is officially in development. Based on the books by R.L. Stine, the three films follow separate but connected stories concerning groups of teenagers who try to break a centuries-old curse looming over their town, with each part set during a different year – 1994, 1978, and 1666 respectively. The Fear Street trilogy was released on Netflix over three consecutive weeks in 2021 and received positive reviews from critics and strong viewership from audiences,...

Two years after the ambitious trilogy directed by Leigh Janiak, Netflix is headed back to R.L. Stine‘s Fear Street with a brand new movie, Collider reports this afternoon.

Granted, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard about a potential fourth Fear Street movie. As you may recall, it had been reported back in December 2022 that a new movie was in the works, and Netflix’s Scott Stuber reveals to Collider this week that those plans haven’t changed.

Stuber, Head of Netflix Film, explains: “Obviously, there’s a lot of books. There’s one stand-alone that we’re working on right now that we’re once again trying to get the script right, but I like it very much, and so does the team. So I feel like if we can get that script right there would be a great kind of extension of that franchise.”

Based on R.

Director Leigh Janiak and the Netflix streaming service brought us a really fun horror event back in the summer of 2021 with the Fear Street trilogy. Three films that were filmed back-to-back-to-back and then released over the course of three weeks – those films being Fear Street Part One: 1994, Fear Street Part Two: 1978, and Fear Street Part Three: 1666. It was an instant franchise, and had the potential to lead to many more films… because, after all, author R.L. Stine has written over 100 books that have been published under the various Fear Street banners. Last year, we heard that Chloe Okuno, who recently made her feature directorial debut with the thriller Watcher, would be directing the next Fear Street movie – and there was even a rumor that she would be helming a whole trilogy of Fear Street movies, just like Janiak did. But during a recent conversation with Collider, Scott Stuber, the head of Netflix Film,...

Kiana Madeira, best known for her role in Netflix’s hit trilogy Fear Street, has signed with Luber Roklin Entertainment for management.

In the horror-mystery series inspired by R.L. Stine’s beloved novels directed by Leigh Janiak, Madeira played the lead character, Deena, who bravely tackled the chaos throughout each film and quickly became a fan favorite.

In the award-winning indie film Brother, directed by Clement Virgo and based on David Chariandy’s novel, Madeira portrayed Aisha. The role earned her a nomination for Outstanding Performance at the 2023 Actra Toronto Awards. Additionally, she starred in Constantin Film’s Perfect Addiction and the popular Netflix films After We Fell, After Ever Happy, and After Everything.

Madeira’s television credits include Trinkets for Netflix, Facebook Watch’s Sacred Lies, and CW’s The Flash and Coroner. She is also set to appear in Adult Swim’s My Adventures with Superman Season 2, scheduled...

Disney's reboot of the Goosebumps show, along with its release on popular platforms like Disney+ and Hulu, could spark renewed interest in R.L. Stine's other horror series Fear Street, potentially leading to more adaptations. Despite the lack of updates on Fear Street's future, the success of the Goosebumps franchise could push Netflix to greenlight more adaptations, including a potential Fear Street 4 or other related projects. The Fear Street Trilogy's viewership and the increased attention on Stine's work could have an impact on Netflix's decision to continue the series, and even a small update on the franchise would be appreciated by fans.

Disney is officially rebooting the Goosebumps show based on beloved children's books from acclaimed horror author R.L. Stine, but another adaptation on streaming deserves attention. For many who grew up in the '80s and '90s, the Goosebumps books and TV show were a gateway into the horror genre.

Netflix is about to lose two huge horror universes, making it hard not to wonder if the streaming platform will ever recover. Since its streaming inception in 2007, Netflix has amassed an extensive content library. From award-winning documentaries to critically acclaimed movies, Netflix has it all. Even in the horror genre, Netflix seems to have something for everyone. For instance, the streaming giant offers gripping coming-of-age dramas like Stranger Things for a younger audience but also has horror flicks like Gerald's Game that are targeted more towards mature viewers.

While not all Netflix horror shows and movies are highly acclaimed and popular among viewers, some have garnered immense success, contributing heavily to the platform's growth. Netflix deserves some credit for its horror genre success, but it would not have reached this level without the contributions of talented directors and producers. Among all the producers and directors in Netflix's horror space, Mike Flanagan...

Upon taking the reins of the Neuchatel Intl. Fantastic Film Festival (Nifff) last year, incoming artistic director Pierre-Yves Walder marked his first edition with Scream Queer, a thematic retrospective that explored the thorny and thrillingly diverse forms of queer representation in genre fare. Now building on the success of that well-received program, the Nifff director wanted to deliver a sequel of sorts.

“We want to continue last year’s investigations and to take our thematic journeys a step further,” Walder explains. “You could say that this focus will continue to ask and answer the same questions with a slightly different emphasis.”

And so here comes Female Trouble, a 20-film, century-spanning spotlight built on a French play-on-words that blurs gender and genre. Starting with Mario Roncoroni’s silent serial “Filibus,” which mixed sci-fi motifs with gender-fluidity and lesbian desire all the way back in 1915, and on through Jacques Tourneur’s “Cat People...

Let’s be honest, it’s a weird time out there in the world of streaming movies. As the major streamers continue to mess around with their apps and libraries, adding ad-tiers or changing their names to nonsense words that have nothing to do with the brand, they’re also charging more for less. As Netflix, Max, and Amazon Prime decrease in value, free streaming services become a better deal.

But just because you’re not shelling out any cash doesn’t mean that you want a terrible experience. If you know where to look, you can find hundreds of movies available online, completely for free. And no, I’m not referring to those sketchy sites you used to visit in college. I’m talking about services that let you watch full-length movies completely for free. Sure, you’ll need to watch a few ads to get the movies, but...

We here at Arrow in the Head try to keep up with the horror selections on the biggest streaming services around, and as part of that endeavor, we have gone through the horror options on Netflix US to put together a top 10 list of the Best Horror Movies On Netflix Right Now.

Take note of the “Right Now” part of the subject line, because some of these films are not Netflix Originals and therefore could be removed from the streaming service at any time. If you want to watch them, be sure to start streaming in a timely manner or they may be gone!

Blood Red Sky (2021)

The “vampire vs. airplane hijackers” horror action thriller Blood Red Sky is a project director Peter Thorwarth had been wanting to make for 16 years before it was finally released, and his dedication to the concept paid off: within a month of its Netflix debut,...

In M. Night Shyamalan's "Knock at the Cabin," a couple and their young daughter take a trip to a secluded cabin. Their peaceful vacation is interrupted by a group of strangers holding deadly weapons. It feels like a familiar hostage horror movie until the shocking revelation that the family must make a devastating choice to prevent the apocalypse.

"Knock at the Cabin" is just one of many films to use the cabin in the woods trope. This sequestered locale buried in the vast, mysterious woods is often the site of violence, confrontation, and hidden secrets in films — particularly the horror genre. It is a space where characters are forced to be together, and there is nowhere to run when they face danger. The wild, remote setting forces protagonists to confront life-altering circumstances and events. Often, these films are intimate with a small cast trapped in the cabin setting.

Last week, news leaked out that Chloe Okuno, who recently made her feature directorial debut with the thriller Watcher, starring Maika Monroe (read our review Here), would be following in the footsteps of Fear Street Part One: 1994, Fear Street Part Two: 1978, and Fear Street Part Three: 1666 director Leigh Janiak to direct a new Fear Street movie for the Netflix streaming service. Syfy Wire has since been able to confirm the scoop that Okuno will be directing a new Fear Street movie, and done one better. Actually two better, as Syfy Wire revealed that they have heard Okuno will be directing a whole trilogy of Fear Street movies, just like Janiak did!

Here’s how they put it: Syfy Wire has confirmed the streaming giant will enter production on a second trilogy of films inspired by the best-selling YA book series from prolific horror author, R.L. Stine. Up-and-coming director Chloe Okuno...

After Netflix's "Fear Street" trilogy came and went last year to all sorts of critical and audience acclaim, the streaming giant has made the objectively correct choice to let the scary times keep rolling. Not content to leave the impressively well-realized story (as explained in detail by /Film's Joshua Meyer in his spoiler review) at just three movies, it appears that the next film in this fun new franchise is about to get a big boost in talent behind the camera.

After Leigh Janiak wrote and directed all three of the previous movies, Above the Line (via Bloody Disgusting) reports the exciting news that Chloe Okuna will step into the director's chair to helm the next "Fear Street" film. Based on the well-received series of novels written by author R.L. Stine, "Fear Street" told the centuries-spanning story of how one group of teenage friends stumble upon an ancient and...
