Questions
How many horror movies are on Netflix right now?
9 horror films from the WhatScares catalog of 323 are on Netflix in the US. That list is from our last hand-check; availability changes, so confirm on Netflix before you settle in.
What is the scariest horror movie on Netflix?
By our own jump-scare rating, His House (2020) — 8/10 for jump scares and 8/10 for dread, on a scale we score by hand rather than take from review sites.
What horror was added to Netflix most recently?
Frankenstein (2025), which our checks first saw on Netflix on 2026-09-04.
Where this comes from. 8 of 9 titles here were read from Netflix's own public pages on 2026-10-20. The rest come from the catalog's hand-maintained availability list, which nothing re-checks automatically. No streaming API is used anywhere on this site, so there is nothing here licensed from a third party and nothing to attribute — and equally, nothing that updates itself the moment a licence expires.
