Best movies on Netflix on Halloween weekend 2022

Here’s a list of five best movies on Netflix to watch this Halloween weekend!

Wendell & Wild

Academy Award nominee Henry Selick is back with a new stop-motion animated film titled Wendell & Wild, and it’s definitely one of the best movies on Netflix to watch this Halloween weekend. If you’re unfamiliar with Selick’s work, he’s known for directing other stop-motion animation movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach and Coraline.

He and Jordan Peele teamed up to write the screenplay for Wendell & Wild, which tells a story about two demon brothers who strike a deal with a teen girl so they can escape from the Underworld to make their way to the Land of the Living, where they can live out their dream of building their own amusement park.

The voice cast is made up of many talented actors such as Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Lyric Ross, Angela Bassett, James Hong, Ving Rhames, Sam Zelaya, Tamara Smart, Ramona Young, Natalie Martinez, Gabrielle Dennis, Maxine Peake, and others.

As expected from a Selick film, Wendell & Wild is beautifully animated. It also has an incredible soundtrack of tunes you can rock out to. Overall, it’s a good time and the perfect film to watch with the whole family.

The Perfection

Honestly, The Perfection is one of my favorite horror movies. It keeps you guessing throughout the entire movie, and the twists and turns will leave you gobsmacked. Just when you think you know what’s going on, the story changes directions. It’s gripping but can be quite disturbing. So, if you’re a squeamish person, you might want to skip out on this one. If not, I strongly recommend adding this movie to your watchlist.

It stars Get Out‘s Allison Williams as a once-promising musical prodigy who returns to her old prestigious music school to find a new talented pupil (Hit the Floor‘s Logan Browning) has taken her place. After the two musicians meet, they embark on a sinister path you won’t see coming.

The Curse of Bridge Hollow

The Curse of Bridge Hollow is such an easy and fun watch! It’s a family-friendly Halloween movie about a father and teenage daughter who are forced to team up and save their town after an evil spirit makes the town’s Halloween decorations come to life and cause destruction.

Comedic genius Marlon Wayans stars as the Halloween-hating father and Stranger Things star Priah Ferguson plays the teen daughter. Kelly Rowland, John Michael Higgins, Lauren Lapkus, Rob Riggle, and Nia Vardalos are also in the cast.

The Curse of Bridge Hollow has just the right amount of humor and horror mixed together, and adults and children will definitely enjoy watching this film. So remember to add it to your watchlist!

Fear Street Trilogy

I’m sorry, but I just had to include all of the Fear Street movies. These movies should be watched every Halloween, in my opinion. The trilogy consists of Fear Street Part One: 1994, Fear Street Part Two: 1978 and Fear Street Part Three: 1666.

Fear Street Part One: 1994 follows a group of teens who accidentally come across an ancient evil spirit responsible for a series of gruesome murders that have plagued their town for centuries.

Fear Street Part Two: 1978 takes place in the ’70s at Camp Nightwing in the cursed town of Shadyside. During the summer, a group of teenagers is having fun at Camp Nightwing until a killer goes on a murder spree and turns what was supposed to be a summer of fun into a fight for survival.

Fear Street Part Three: 1666 follows the origins of Sarah Fier and Shadyside’s curse in the 17th century and the teenagers in1994 who try to put an end to it.

All of the movies are connected, and each one will have you at the edge of your seat. Additionally, the cast gives outstanding performances, there are so many plot twists, the characters are likable, there’s tons of blood and gore, and there are even some funny scenes. Fortunately, we haven’t seen the last of Fear Street because more films are planned!

It

The last film on our list of the best movies on Netflix to watch on Halloween weekend is the supernatural horror film It. It is another one of those movies you just have to watch every spooky season. Although it’s a horror film, it has a great mix of humor, action, and drama as well.

This movie might not be the scariest movie you’ve ever seen, but it will surely get your adrenalin pumping. The story follows a group of outcasts who must band together to face an ancient, shape-shifting evil entity while also overcoming their own personal fears.

The amazingly talented cast includes Bill Skarsgård, Jaeden Martell, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs, Jack Dylan Grazer, and Jackson Robert Scott.
