More scary movies coming to Netflix in November:

In addition to the big new titles mentioned above, Netflix is also adding a few older films to its catalog on November 1.

• The Mummy (Nov. 1) – Don’t get too excited, it’s not the iconic ‘90s movie starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, but the 2017 remake with Tom Cruise. Sofia Boutella is a highlight here as Ahmanet, but otherwise this film is better off forgotten like the defunct “Dark Universe” it was supposed to launch.
• Drag Me to Hell (Nov. 1) – This delightfully over the top and campy film from Sam Raimi is a must watch. Alison Lohman and Justin Long star.
• Black Christmas (Nov. 1) – No, it’s not the 1974 masterpiece, or even the 2006 remake, but the terrible and unnecessary 2019 remake.
