When it comes to horror movies, there's plenty of creativity to be found. Although the general structure is the same — innocent (or not so innocent) people see or do something that leads them down a dark and terrifying path — the details vary widely. Some movies have even managed to combine other genres with horror — even comedy! Netflix has a wide selection of horror movies in its library, both originals and licensed titles, and a handful of new titles are set to join the streaming platform in March 2019. Ahead, take a look at 25 of the best horror movies available on Netflix for your next fright night.
