This is very curious, but when it comes tohorror, thecatalogs on the most popular streaming servicesaren’t very big. The weird thing is throughout every decade, horror productions seem to increase and improve, and this would seem like a great reason for those catalogs to grow in quantity. If we add the ’70s and ’80s, then an empty horror bin, even if virtual, is a great waste of space.
Fortunately, most horror fans aren’t very fussy when it comes to picking out their next film. It can be a new one, or an old one they’ve seen countless times. They will always have fun by watching the same old film whose dialogues are already spoken out loud by fans who behave the same way we did when we visited the video rental decades ago. You could see a new VHS cover of a potential gorefest, and you wanted to rent that one. However, you always looked to the side and also picked out the horror slasher you had seen already. A rewatch was always a good plan.
That very sacred act can’t be simulated and repeated today. It’s just not the same. However, one of the streaming services that will get you up close to that experience isTubi. It’s got a little bit of everything, works like a charm on every device, and best of all, it’s free. For this reason, it was only a matter of time until we sat and curated the best horror selection to watch on Tubi today. Some of these are classics, some are weird, and almost all of them are pretty scary.

15The Devil’s Rejects

12The Taking of Deborah Logan
The Taking of Deborah Loganis an extremely underrated horror film that goes across the limits of something real inspiring something horrific.

The performance by Jill Larson as Deborah is one of the best in horror history. And did we mentionit’s found footage? Yay!
11Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Killer Klowns from Outer Spaceworks as a relief feature, and in a list filled with so much unnerving material, it doesn’t hurt to have something scary that will actually make you laugh.

Cotton candy will never be the same to you after you watch this one.
