According to a study, Prime Video has the largest horror movies library of any service. However, Tubi is noted to have over 30% of the best-reviewed scary movies. Other services with a good variety of horror films include Max, Paramount+, AMC+, and Peacock. If you’re looking for niche horror, Shudder is an excellent option. It’s always a good idea to check the specific libraries of these services as they can vary and update frequently.
I’d recommend Psycho (1960) directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It’s a classic horror-thriller known for its shower scene and the chilling performance by Anthony Perkins. The film’s influence on the genre of horror movies is immense, and it’s widely considered one of Hitchcock’s best works. Please check your local listings for availability.
