Peacock’s horror lineup is a mix of modern crowd-pleasers, cult favorites, and classics that still hold up. Since streaming libraries rotate, treat this as a “great right now” watchlist, not a permanent catalog.
Better Watch Out (2016)
A nasty-little holiday home-invasion riff that keeps flipping your assumptions. Best enjoyed knowing as little as possible going in.
Black Christmas (1974)
One of the foundational slashers: wintry atmosphere, creeping dread, and a template later films borrowed heavily from.
Braid (2018)
A reality-bending psychological horror piece that feels like a nightmare you can’t quite wake up from.
The Changeling (1980)
A slow-burn haunted-house classic, heavy on mood and mounting unease rather than shocks.
Day of the Dead (1985)
George A. Romero’s bunker-set undead entry: tense, bleak, and loaded with paranoia and pressure-cooker conflict.
The Endless (2017)
Two brothers revisit the community they escaped years ago—and discover something is deeply wrong with time and reality there.
The Exorcist III (1990)
A surprisingly strong sequel with a detective-story spine and a reputation for one of horror’s most memorable jump scares.
The Fog (1980)
John Carpenter doing pure atmosphere: a coastal town, old sins, and an ominous mist that brings payback with it.
Get Out (2017)
Jordan Peele’s razor-sharp breakout: social discomfort turns into escalating nightmare, with an all-timer premise and payoff.
The House of the Devil (2009)
A meticulous throwback slow-burn that builds dread patiently, then cashes in with real intensity.
The Invitation (2015)
A dinner party from hell—quietly tense, socially awkward in the worst way, and increasingly alarming as the night goes on.
The Love Witch (2016)
A stylized, candy-colored homage to vintage aesthetics with a modern edge—pretty, strange, and intentionally off-kilter.
Magic (1978)
A ventriloquist’s dummy movie that leans into psychological breakdown and control, anchored by a strong central performance.
Nightbreed (1990)
Clive Barker’s ultra-campy, creature-packed fantasy horror that’s grown into a major cult favorite over time.
Nope (2022)
Bigger, stranger, and more spectacle-driven, with blockbuster-scale set pieces and unsettling ideas.
Nosferatu (2024)
A modern gothic with obsessive mood and craftsmanship—more creeping dread than cheap thrills.
Phantasm (1979)
Surreal, low-budget, and proudly weird—dream logic, grief, and a villain you don’t forget.
Prom Night (1980)
Classic slasher setup with prom-night tension and a steady march toward chaos.
Sleepaway Camp (1983)
A camp-set slasher that’s become infamous for its reputation and twisty cult status.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
A landmark horror film: raw, relentless, and historically influential—still effective decades later.
The Wailing (2016)
A long-form spiral into dread: investigation, suspicion, and escalating supernatural menace that refuses easy answers.
