Questions
How many horror movies are on Peacock right now?
8 horror films from the WhatScares catalog of 323 are on Peacock in the US. That list is from our last hand-check; availability changes, so confirm on Peacock before you settle in.
What is the scariest horror movie on Peacock?
By our own jump-scare rating, The Exorcist (1973) — 10/10 for jump scares and 8/10 for dread, on a scale we score by hand rather than take from review sites.
Where this comes from. Availability on this page comes from the catalog's hand-maintained list — somebody checked each film against the US service and wrote it down, and nothing re-checks it 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.
