Below are the best Halloween movies on Prime Video, but if you're looking for other great scary flicks to watch this October, take a look at our list of the best Halloween movies on Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, and more.
br A Quiet Place Part II br
For fans of: Silence, Emily Blunt A Quiet Place Part II Jonny Cournoyer/Paramount Pictures John Krasinski's A Quiet Place, about a family trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by blind aliens that attack at the first sign of noise, was a hit when it was released in 2018.

Its sequel, also directed by Krasinski, is a worthy successor. Set directly after the events of the first film, the Abbott family put themselves at risk of even greater danger when they're forced to leave their home and venture out into the unknown, with Evelyn (Emily Blunt) now solely responsible for figuring out how to navigate the world for herself and her children.

But the biggest highlight of A Quiet Place Part II is the addition of the great Cillian Murphy to the cast, playing a hardened, world-weary new character. -Allison Picurro Watch on Amazon Prime Video
br Candyman br
For fans of: Bees, urban legends Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Candyman This 2021 sequel to the 1992 horror classic Candyman was co-written by Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld, and Nia DaCosta, who also directed the film, putting a fresh spin on the urban legend of a hook-handed murderer.

This new version ignores the previous sequels and follows a Chicago artist (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) who becomes obsessed with the legend and learns about his scary connection to the Candyman, while also incorporating themes like the exploitation of art and the disenfranchisement of the Black community. -Tim Surette Watch on Amazon Prime Video
br The Descent br
For fans of: Strong female leads, fear of the unknown, unhappy endings The Descent Led by an all-female cast, The Descent quickly became a cult classic when it launched in 2005. Shauna MacDonald, Natalie Mendoza, and Alex Reid star in the horror flick, which sees a group of friends heading out on a spelunking expedition before a collapsed tunnel leaves them stranded without hope of rescue.

As they search for alternate routes to escape, they encounter a variety of horrifying creatures living deep in the cave system – most of whom don't take kindly to strangers. The entirety of The Descent's 99-minute runtime is incredibly tense, and its ending is wildly different depending on whether you're watching the UK or US version. If you don't want to have nightmares for the next few weeks, it's probably best to stick with the version released in the States, which is a bit more optimistic than the version launched overseas.

br Saint Maud br
For fans of: Extreme religious fanaticism, the final seconds of a movie that will scar you for life Morfydd Clark, Saint Maud Epix This A24 horror gem from rookie director Rose Glass makes a profound statement on religion when a devoutly Catholic nurse (Morfydd Clark) goes to extreme lengths to "save the soul" of her new patient, an artist dying of a terminal illness. There are no monsters or ghouls here, but something more terrifying: someone who wants to push their beliefs on you.

Saint Maud is gripping as a psychological horror film that doesn't shy away from its core messaging that extreme faith is damaging to everyone, and Clark, currently playing Galadriel in Prime Video's blockbuster The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, is superb. It also has some of the most memorable final seconds of a horror film in decades.

br Goodnight Mommy br
For fans of: Bandages, mommies wrapped up like mummies Nicholas Crovetti, Naomi Watts, and Cameron Crovetti, Goodnight Mommy David Giesbrecht/Amazon Studios It's pretty much universally accepted that this adaptation of the 2014 Austrian horror film Goodnight Mommy isn't as good as the original (which is on Tubi), but as a new Prime Video original horror film, it's worth a watch if you're in the mood for creepy. It stars Naomi Watts as the mother of two twin boys who begin to suspect that the mommy they came home to — who is now covered in bandages obscuring her face and is acting more than a little weird — might not be their real mommy. The scariness comes from the building suspense of discovering what's underneath the wrap, rather than monsters or slashers, but let's be real, even regular mothers are terrifying.

br Suspiria 2018 br
For fans of: Chloe Grace Moretz, Dakota Johnson, mystery films Dakota Johnson, Suspiria Amazon Studios Led by performances from Chloe Grace Moretz, Tilda Swinton, and Dakota Johnson, this Amazon Studios production is one of the platform's most horrifying originals. Although the story is centered around a world-class dance company, the movie is pushed forward by the death of a student – a death that may have served to hide dark secrets within the organization. Suspiria is a remake of the original 1977 film of the same name, and manages to stick close to the source material while still taking plenty of artistic liberties to bring the story to a new audience of horror fans.

br Phantasm br
For fans of: 1970s cult horror, tall villains, shiny killer orbs Phantasm If it's a cult classic horror movie you're looking for to usher in All Hallow's Eve, it's hard to beat the 1979 film Phantasm, an independent horror film blending science-fiction with ghastly scares. Well, maybe a little outdated scares, but still. The film would fit right in at the drive-in with its organ-heavy score, cheesy acting, and a no-nonsense villain in The Tall Man.

Heck, it even opens with a sex scene in a cemetery. As for the movie's plot, an undertaker at a mortuary transforms the dead bodies into dwarves to be used as slaves on his home planet. Seriously!

You'll never look at flying silver orbs with sharp blades the same way again, assuming you didn't look at them as unstoppable murder machines. -Tim Surette Watch on Amazon Prime Video
br Jennifer s Body br
For fans of: Horror comedies, over-the-top violence, Megan Fox Megan Fox, Jennifer's Body Twentieth Century Fox While it didn't win over many critics, Jennifer's Body has found legions of fans – thanks to a great performance from Megan Fox (Jennifer) and Amanda Seyfried (Needy). The off-the-wall story follows Jennifer, a popular cheerleader who suddenly grows an appetite for human blood.

br House br
For fans of: Scares mixed with laughs, haunted houses William Katt, House The 1986 film House is pure '80s horror, featuring several stars of the decade -- William Katt (The Greatest American Hero), George Wendt (Cheers), and Richard Moll (Night Court) -- in a haunted house flick that's just as well known for its campy comedy as it is horror. The plot, as if you really need one, follows an author (Katt) who stays at his aunt's house and discovers the hard way that it's haunted.

The monsters and ghosts in the house are a mixed bag that don't make a whole lot of sense -- levitating garden tools!?!? -- so just go with the madness and enjoy your popcorn. It's a nice reprieve from legitimately scary Halloween films.

For fans of: Dr. Seuss, family-friendly adventures, fun animations The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About Halloween Amazon Prime Video has dozens of great cartoons in its catalog, but The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About Halloween!
