Happy Halloween! Samhain has arrived, which means the time to cram in every last bit of holiday festivities is upon us. Whether you’re staying cozy at home, watching John Carpenter‘s concert live on streaming, or venturing out to Halloween gatherings (stay safe), horror makes for the perfect accompaniment. While you’re likely already set on the Halloween staples, like Trick ‘r Treat, and holiday-set horror movies that bring heavy autumnal vibes, here’s a handy streaming guide for those seeking more hidden Halloween horror gems to watch tonight.

Here are five lesser-seen Halloween horror movies and where to watch them.

Dark Harvest – Tubi

Director David Slade (30 Days of Night) and screenwriter Michael Gilio (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) adapt Norman Partridge’s 2006 Bram Stoker Award-winning novel Dark Harvest, unleashing Halloween carnage that upstages the barebones story. Every Halloween, the legendary Sawtooth Jack rises from the cornfields, where he must fight through a gauntlet of murderous teen boys, all eager to snuff him out lest he make his way to the town’s church by midnight. It’s kill or be killed, with the town awarding a hefty prize to the boy who takes out Sawtooth Jack to ensure the town’s survival. Dark Harvest combines folk horror with the slasher, unleashing a surprisingly gory bloodbath set on Halloween.

Livid – Moviesphere+

Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo’s follow-up to the brutal horror film Inside doesn’t pop up on streaming very often. Lucie is an at-home nurse, and the last stop on her roster is a remote mansion inhabited by bedridden recluse Mrs. Jessel. Mrs. Jessel is rumored to have a treasure hidden on the property, so Lucie and her friends sneak in on Halloween night to steal it. Instead, they find a night full of unexpected terror, and Maury and Bustillo deliver a fun entry into fantasy horror. Look for fun homages to Halloween III: Season of the Witch. It’s gorgeous and creepy and offers a unique take on a tried-and-true horror staple.

May – Criterion Channel, Fandango at Home, Fawesome, Pluto TV, Tubi

May (Angela Bettis) is a lonely vet assistant whose only friend is her doll, Suzie. Then she meets Adam (Jeremy Sisto). Obsessed with his hands and ideals of perfection, May descends into madness in her attempts to forge new friendships. Her mother once told her that if she couldn’t find any friends, she should make them. The lonely woman takes this literally. In keeping with the trend, Lucky McKee’s film sets its finale over Halloween night. Framed from the killer’s perspective, though, May becomes a heartbreaking character study.

Trick or Treat – Screambox

Frequently considered the pinnacle of heavy metal horror, Trick or Treat is now available on streaming for the very first time. Which means it’s required viewing this Halloween. Following the death of his heavy metal idol, a bullied teenage boy inadvertently discovers a way to resurrect the rocker. After hearing the news of his hero’s death, Eddie Weinbauer (Marc Price) finds himself in possession of a one-of-a-kind item, the final recording of Sammi Curr (Tony Fields). When Eddie plays the record backward, unwittingly unleashing his idol’s demonic side. With an earworm score and Halloween heavy metal mayhem, throw up some devil horns and enjoy the ride.

WNUF Halloween Special – AMC+, Shudder

This clever retro-styled horror-comedy presents itself as an off-air recording of WNUF’s Halloween special that aired on October 31, 1987. Television reporter Frank Stewart (Paul Fahrenkopf) investigates the haunted Webber House on-air throughout the news broadcast. It begins benign enough, but the further Frank gets into his broadcast, the creepier the house becomes. Keeping with the recorded-off-TV format, WNUF Halloween Special is loaded with faux commercial breaks and infomercials that evoke Halloween nostalgia.

Actor Keanu Reeves and director Tim Miller are attached to the unique sci-fi feature Shiver, and THR reports that Warner Bros. is in final negotiations to acquire it.

Splinter scribe Ian Shorr wrote the screenplay, which is said to be in the vein of Edge of Tomorrow and the shark thriller The Shallows.

The sci-fi film is said to center on “a ne’er-do-well smuggler who finds himself in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea, resulting in him surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and thirsty sharks alike. He next finds himself in a deathly time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”

Miller made his directorial feature debut with Deadpool. The filmmaker also helmed Terminator: Dark Fate and the Netflix series “Love, Death & Robots.” As for Reeves, the Constantine actor is fresh off the John Wick spinoff Ballerina.

Aaron Ryder is on board to produce along with Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, the Kingsman franchise).

Hatching writer Ilja Rautsi is making his feature directorial debut on the Finnish horror-comedy Red Snow, Screen Daily has learned.

It follows a 16-year-old girl who dreams of a glittering vampire prince but instead is met on the night before Christmas by a balding, beer-bellied 49-year-old bloodsucker in a Santa suit who invades homes and devours entire families.

Jussi Award-winning actor Hannu-Pekka Björkman stars alongside a rising cast led by Anni Iikkanen.

Finland’s Bufo, Estonia’s Allfilm, and Sweden’s Hobab produce in association with the Finnish Film Foundation.

Red Snow is currently in production in Tallinn, Estonia, and is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

B-Plan Distribution will release the film in Finland, while Paris-based outfit Charades is launching sales at the upcoming American Film Market.

Rautsi’s 2018 short film Helsinki Mansplaining Massacre played at more than 100 festivals and won over a dozen prizes.

Director Mike Caron is bringing a holiday home invasion to the screen in Invader, an upcoming Christmas-themed survival horror movie starring Amy Acker (Cabin in the Woods).

In the film, “A Christmas family gathering becomes a fight for survival when Diane’s family is stalked by her vengeful ex-husband, released after 20 years and determined to destroy them.”

Todd Stashwick (The Air I Breathe), horror veteran Doug Jones (Hocus Pocus, Pan’s Labyrinth), and Kareem Grimes (Jarhead) will also star in the upcoming Invader.

Tommy Walker wrote the screenplay.

“We are very excited to be partnering with Mike and the team to bring Invader to AFM,” said Anthony Buckner,  Head of Sales, Acquisitions, and Distribution at AMP. “This is a home invasion tale with a festive twist, and a film we feel will resonate strongly with international buyers in Los Angeles as we head towards the holiday season!”

Caron added in a statement of his own, “Invader is a holiday pressure cooker of fear, family, and revenge – every frame builds toward the moment when you realize that no one is safe, resulting in a movie that will terrify and entertain audiences worldwide.”

An age-old battle between the Japanese yakuza and the Korean mafia is interrupted by a shark in Charon, Screen Daily reports.

Kazuya Shiraishi, whose The Devil’s Path was nominated for five Japanese Academy awards in 2014, is helming the thriller.

In the film, a brutal clash between the Japanese yakuza and Korean mafia breaks out on a ship before being interrupted by an even greater predator — the great white shark — as the trapped, bloodied and hunted survivors fight for their lives.

Japan’s mur mur Studio is producing, with filming is currently underway between Taiwan, Kitakyushu, and Okinawa.

After production wraps, the movie will undergo extensive visual effects work. It’s expected to be ready for release in 2027.

Paris-based outfit Charades will launch sales at the upcoming American Film Market in Los Angeles.
