Since the number of titles on Netflix could be overwhelming, we put together a list of 31 horror movies that are worth checking out. You could essentially watch one a day in October as a way to take part in the holiday.

31. We Have Always Lived in the Castle

Release Year: 2019

Directed By: Stacie Passon

Cast: Taissa Farmiga, Alexandra Daddario, Crispin Glover, Sebastian Stan

The movie was directed by Stacie Passon who is known for her work on TV shows such as Transparent, The Punisher, and American Gods. It’s based on Shirley Jackson’s 1962 novel by the same name. Jackson’s work is no stranger to Netflix with The Haunting of Hill House being a monumental hit when it debuted in 2018.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle follows two sisters, Merricat and Constance, who live in isolation with their ailing uncle. Constance hasn’t left the house in years after she was acquited for poisoning her parents. Her sister, however, travels to town each week where she is constantly harassed by those who think her sister is a murderer. Their cousin, Charles, comes to town and seems to have plans regarding the family fortune. He gets increasingly violent during his stay and the mob in town make matters even worse.

The mystery made its debut at the LA Film Festival in 2018 and has since made its way to Netflix to reach a wider audience. Taissa Farmiga and Alexandra Daddario star as the two sisters whereas MCU star Sebastian Stan portrays the role of Charles. Although the movie is more of a thriller than a horror, it would still be a good pick for the fall season.
