30 best Halloween movies and shows on Netflix (2020)

Halloween movies and shows: 28. 1922

Another adaptation of Stephen King’s work lands on our top 30, but were you expecting any less? When it comes to horror, leave it to the King to provide with chills! Netflix’s 1922, however, stands out from the bunch.

1922 doesn’t feature any supernatural elements. It doesn’t follow any creatures or ghosts, it’s all psychological, which is truly the most frightening genre of them all.

The movie centers on Wilfred James (Thomas Jane), a rancher who is planning to murder his wife for financial gain after he learns that his wife, Arlette (Molly Parker), plans on leaving him. But the real plot of the story happens after the fact — and it doesn’t stop.

Halloween movies and shows: 27. The Witch

From A24, comes a truly frightening and shocking film in The Witch. The movie follows a Puritan family that is exiled and banished from their church. Forced to relocate, the family travels to the woods, but starting over is easier said than done.

After settling in, strange events begin to occur, all having something to do with the teen daughter, Thomasin. Her parents begin to think she is a witch, but she denies it and fears her parents. For a good scare and shocking twists, watch The Witch.

This movie is the perfect movie to watch for Halloween 2020.
