Can you believe it's already December? While the holiday season is often associated with festive favorites and cheesy Hallmark movies, there's also a wealth of horror to enjoy. Horror is truly a year-round treat, and this month is no exception.

Uncover the Chilling Horrors of December on Streaming Services

A Haunting in Venice

If you're a fan of Agatha Christie and Poirot, you won't want to miss this latest movie adaptation. A Haunting in Venice is loosely based on Christie's novel Hallowe'en Party and serves as a sequel to Kenneth Branagh's previous film Death on the Nile. The ensemble cast, including Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, and Michelle Yeoh, adds to the allure. Poirot reluctantly attends a séance where a murdered guest thrusts him into a sinister world, resulting in tense and gripping scenes.

When it comes to streaming, you can catch A Haunting in Venice on Prime Video in the US and Disney Plus in the UK and Australia. It's a must-watch for horror-mystery enthusiasts.

You're Next

I vividly remember watching this brilliant movie for the first time at FrightFest in the UK. It's been eleven years, and it still holds up as a real thrill ride. In this movie, a young man takes his new girlfriend to meet his rich parents and siblings during the holidays. However, they find themselves at a remote cabin targeted by a group of masked intruders who start picking them off one by one.

Now, You're Next is available on Netflix in the US, Sky Store in the UK, and Stan in Australia. It's a hidden gem that deserves more recognition.

Rosemary's Baby

If you're in the mood for some classic horror, Rosemary's Baby is a must-see. This iconic movie, which recently inspired the Apartment 7A, features Mia Farrow in a flawless performance as a newlywed woman who falls pregnant and begins to fear that her baby is not of this world. Her anxieties are heightened by her strange neighbors, who she suspects of being in a Satanic cult.

You can stream Rosemary's Baby on Paramount Plus in the US, UK, and Australia. It's a movie that will leave a lasting impression and is a true classic in the horror genre.

Cuckoo

NEON is known for its horror offerings, and Cuckoo coming to Hulu this December is exciting for genre fans. A 17-year-old girl, played by Hunter Schafer, moves to a German resort with her family after her mother's death and discovers a shocking secret. The beautiful Bavarian Alps backdrop adds to the eerie atmosphere.

While it's only available on Hulu in the US for now, we're hoping for a wider release. Don't miss the chance to catch this gem.

Last Straw

Shudder's major movie offering this month is Last Straw. A rural roadside diner becomes the scene of a maniacal killing spree, leaving a young waitress to clean up the mess. With a 77% rating on the Tomatometer, audiences have been impressed.

Unfortunately, it's only available for US audiences from December 20 onwards, but it can be rented worldwide via YouTube Movies and TV. It's a must-watch for horror fans.

Thanksgiving

Set during Thanksgiving, this movie by Eli Roth is a unique take on the horror genre. A mysterious masked maniac terrorizes residents one year after a Black Friday riot ended in tragedy. It's not your ordinary horror movie and has an impressive 84% Rotten Tomatoes score.

You can stream Thanksgiving on Netflix in the US, Sky Store in the UK, and Prime Video and Binge in Australia. It's a great alternative seasonal movie.
