Specialist services
Shudder is built for horror, thrillers and the supernatural, with a deep back catalogue and its own originals. MUBI sometimes carries arthouse and international horror that the bigger services miss.
The big services
Netflix and Prime Video both have large horror sections, heavy on recent releases and their own originals. Studio horror often lands on NOW (Sky Cinema) a few months after it leaves cinemas.
Around Halloween
Services refresh their horror line-ups through October, and BBC iPlayer, ITVX and Channel 4 often add free horror films for the season.
