Although Halloween is the spooky season, every day is a good day for horror, and Amazon Prime Video's Now Streaming collection is packed with creepy delights. The streaming service has such a wide assortment of terror-inducing movies that there should be something to suit everyone's needs, and there is enough content to cover months of afternoons rather than just a weekend.

The sheer volume on offer is overwhelming, and selecting which movies to prioritize can be difficult. Ultimately, the picks come down to personal preference, however, a few movies do stand out from the crowd as being particularly memorable (and terrifying). Let's take a look at the best Prime Video horror movies.

A Quiet Place Part 2 (2021)

A Quiet Place did not need a sequel, but the follow-up managed to justify its existence anyway. This part's selling point is that it forces the characters to venture out of their home and into A Quiet Place's world, a decision that suggests Evelyn and her children might face threats beyond just monsters.

As good as this storyline is, A Quiet Place Part 2's strongest sequence takes place prior to the events of the previous film. The prologue chronicles the events of Day 1 through the eyes of the Abbott family, and this short section is incredibly intense.

[REC] (2007)

Some viewers might be familiar with 2008's Quarantine, the English remake of 2007's [REC]. While by no means terrible, the former falls short of the latter in nearly every area. [REC] is a by-product of the found footage craze that dominated the 2000s and early 2010s, and it presents a convincing case for deserving a spot on the Mount Rushmore of that subgenre.

The premise is straightforward enough: A reporter and her cameraman are shooting a special on the fire department, and they accompany the fighters as they answer a call concerning a screaming woman. Before they know it, they are locked in an apartment block as an outbreak spreads causing people to turn violent. [REC] masterfully builds suspense and tension through its restrictive framing device and claustrophobic setting. Except for a somewhat slow start, the scares come fast and thick.

Rosemary's Baby (1968)

An unquestionable classic, Rosemary's Baby predates the Satanic Panic craze that spread throughout the 1980s and '90s. In the film, a pregnant woman begins to fear her neighbors might be part of a cult that intends to use her unborn child as an offering. Rosemary's anxiety is founded both on legitimate concerns and paranoia, and these two components mix to create a deeply unsettling and unpredictable experience.

Rosemary's Baby boasts an all-time great performance by Mia Farrow, who manages to bounce back and forth between understated and hysterical with ease. Even though the concept might seem farfetched (especially nowadays), Farrow grounds her character in a way that makes everything seem plausible. While a slow-burner, this 1968 release is one of the scariest movies on Amazon Prime Video.

Saint Maud (2020)

A disconcerting look into faith and obsession, Saint Maud follows a nurse who is desperate to save the soul of her dying patient. She will go to any extreme to accomplish her goal, and things get chilling quickly.

Saint Maud wisely opts to depict the story's events almost entirely from the nurse's perspective, raising questions about what is truly happening. This also adds a degree of sympathy to this terrifying character.

Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil (2010)

Do not judge a book by its cover or, in this case, a hillbilly by their overalls. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil twists the slasher horror formula by focusing on two guys who would typically act as villains, roles they are incorrectly assigned by a group of teenagers who happen to be camping in the same woods as Tucker and Dale. From there, accidental deaths follow, while the lovable leads ponder why kids seem to be killing themselves all over their property.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is not just a hilarious parody of slasher flicks but an above-average entry into the horror genre as well. The film's death scenes are creative and over-the-top, while the eponymous characters are well-written and acted.

Carnival Of Souls (1962)

While it didn't find an audience upon release, Carnival of Souls gained a cult following over the next decades, and it is now hailed as one of the better low-budget horror movies of the '60s. Following a car accident, Mary Henry moves to a new city but struggles to immerse herself in this climate. Eventually, she finds herself attracted to a deserted carnival.

Atmospheric and surreal, Carnival of Souls blurs the line between reality and the unearthly through effective sound design and framing. Even if it does not deliver much in the way of extremely terrifying moments, the film is constantly disorienting and compelling.

Let The Right One In (2008)

Adapted from a novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let the Right One In presents a unique take on the vampire mythos. The film focuses on the relationship between a young boy and a girl, the latter of which happens to be something other than human. Their characterizations and relationship are complex and gripping, and both characters are elevated by strong performances.

In 2010, Let the Right One In was adapted into an American production as Let Me In, a good horror movie that arguably does not quite reach the same heights as the original. This Swedish production is one of the best Prime Video horror movies.

Maniac (1980)

Despite debuting at the onset of '80s slasher fever, Maniac is a serial killer movie rather than something in the vein of Friday the 13th. This is an important clarification to make as a viewer needs to not only be in the right mindset to appreciate this grimy classic but also be prepared for just how uncomfortable of a watch this movie is.

Maniac follows the disturbed Frank Zito as he commits a string of gruesome murders. These visceral sequences are separated by equally unsettling scenes that show the killer's capacity for manipulation. Joe Spinell's performance is nothing short of brilliant.

Suspiria (2018)

Loosely based on Dario Argento's 1977 horror epic, 2018's Suspiria removes quite a bit of the mystery from the original, opting to drop Dakota Johnson in a school filled with witches while making it clear that is the case.

Similar to the classic movie, Suspiria revels in gore and blood, albeit this version utilizes an aesthetic that is far seedier than the stunning visuals of its predecessor. Although an acquired taste, Suspiria is an intriguing experiment in symbolic horror that mostly is a success.

House (1986)

Steve Miner's delightful spookfest is one of the few horror movies on Amazon Prime Video that is acceptable for the whole family. House also screams Halloween, be it through its charming practical effects or sense of humor.

The story follows a writer who steps into an inherited house to try and pen a book. Naturally, the author has a few demons to work through, and this house just happens to be the best place to get some therapy done.

Tumbbad (2018)

An ambitious Indian film, Tumbbad is soaked in culture, mysticism, and atmosphere. Hailing from a family straddled with a curse, Vinayak Rao sets out to find a secret treasure out of pure greed. Tumbbad boasts stunning cinematography and locations, depicting environments laced with history, tragedy, and enchantment.

Tumbbad is unlike any other horror movie on Amazon Prime Video, and the story takes a while to reveal to true terror behind its concepts and mystery. At its heart, this movie is a fairy tale, although one that has no time for happily ever afters.

House On Haunted Hill (1959)

Perhaps no other actor is more synonymous with horror B-movies than Vincent Price, and House on Haunted Hill ranks among the legendary actor's most enduring projects. This 1959 film takes the haunted house blueprint and throws in a captivating mystery, all the while delivering scares and laughs courtesy of its game performers and endearing special effects.

This classic is the movie equivalent of a trip through a carnival haunted house; sure, the scares might be mixed with laughter and lack genuine fright, but everybody is having a good time.

Jacob's Ladder (1990)

Jacob's Ladder takes the audience on an unforgettable and disconcerting trip into the fractured mind of someone overwhelmed by trauma. Tim Robbins' Jacob Singer might have returned to the states, but his time in Vietnam continues to torment him. As he begins to suffer hallucinations, the protagonist slowly loses the ability to tell what is real and fake.

Adrian Lyne's film is incredibly intense, to the point of being an uncomfortable and exhausting watch. Jacob's Ladder is not meant to be a fun horror film, but rather a character study that happens to be haunting.

The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane (1976)

A slightly forgotten '70s horror film, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane boasts a brilliant performance from Jodie Foster as a girl living alone who is hiding a few secrets. Dealing with mature themes such as blackmail, independence, and abuse, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane plays it relatively straight, with the horror elements very much being human and relatable.

A controversial release at the time, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane is worth seeking out even if it is not the best pick for a Halloween watch party.

Train To Busan (2016)

Zombie films are a dime-a-dozen, but occasionally, one comes out that justifies why crowds continue to flock to theaters to watch the walking dead. Train to Busan is a thrill ride from beginning to end, one that blends action, horror, and family drama to create a package with nothing resembling a dull moment. A father and daughter who are struggling to communicate catch a train for a one-hour trip, a journey that becomes slightly more complicated than anticipated when an apocalypse breaks out.

As pure horror, Train to Busan is not among the scariest movies on Amazon Prime Video. That's not to say the film is devoid of frights, but they are few and far in between. However, as far as action-horror hybrids are concerned, the South Korean flick is among the most fully realized projects to come out since the turn of the century.

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956)

Invasion of the Body Snatchers might not hit quite as hard as it did in the mid-1950s, but that does not take anything away from the movie's gripping nature. Unbeknownst to humans, aliens are conducting a subtle invasion by swapping out people with doppelgangers. These invaders look and sound just like the humans they replaced, meaning anyone could be a threat.

An old-school masterpiece of both the sci-fi and horror genres, Invasion of the Body Snatchers will be always worth a watch.

Candyman (2021)

A sequel to 1992's seminal classic, Candyman pays homage to its beloved processor while still establishing its own voice rooted in the current socio-political climate. Brilliantly acted, directed, and written, this slasher succeeds in crafting an immediately thrilling fright fest that works on a primal level. It is plain scary.

Beneath the surface, Candyman dives into the way society and history influence and maintain a cycle of violence, tying these very real fears with the mythos of the eponymous character. Heavy as its ideas are, this film is still a good pick for a random afternoon.

Hellraiser (1987)

Clive Barker fans with an Amazon Prime Video subscription can stream the first two Hellraiser films, although the rest of the franchise's entries are not included in the basic version of the streaming service. Introducing the Cenobites to the cinematic world, Hellraiser is a visually absorbing experience that strikes a bleak tone quite unlike any other horror franchise.

The Cenobites are unique entities that do not overwhelm the film's story, which does a solid job of exploring its human characters. Pinhead has grown into a horror legend, and the franchise has arguably yet to produce a sequel that surpasses the original film.
