Embrace the Cult Classic Horror of "The Evil Dead"

Unleash the power of the Necronomicon and join Ash Williams on a terrifying journey through the cabin in the woods. Sam Raimi's "The Evil Dead" is a shoestring-budget horror masterpiece that has stood the test of time, delivering a relentless barrage of scares and gore that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Witness the birth of one of horror's most enduring icons as Bruce Campbell's Ash battles the demonic forces that have been unleashed. This classic may be nearly 45 years old, but its signature zeal and gonzo filmmaking still pack a punch.

Confront the Apocalyptic Visions of "Take Shelter"

What if someone close to you started having visions of an impending apocalypse? Would you believe them, or would you turn them into a pariah? Jeff Nichols' "Take Shelter" explores these haunting questions, with Michael Shannon delivering a powerhouse performance as a loving family man plagued by prophetic storms. Anchored by Shannon's exceptional acting and Jessica Chastain's equally stellar turn, this spooky and touching thriller will leave you pondering the nature of sanity, family, and the power of belief in the face of the unknown.

Embrace the Kooky Charm of "The Addams Family"

If you're looking for something spooky but not too scary, the 2019 animated "Addams Family" movie is the perfect choice. While it may not be the best film adaptation of the iconic macabre clan (that title belongs to Barry Levinson's flawless 1991 live-action version), this version still delivers plenty of laughs and a heartwarming message about self-acceptance. With a stellar voice cast that includes Charlize Theron as Morticia Addams and Oscar Isaac as Gomez Addams, this Tubi offering is a delightfully ghoulish treat for the whole family.

Uncover the Socially Conscious Horrors of "Tales From the Hood"

Rusty Cundieff's "Tales From the Hood" is a true hidden gem in the horror anthology genre. Blending social commentary with chilling storytelling, this 1995 film offers a unique perspective on the Black American experience. While the first tale is the standout, the entire anthology is worth a watch, with impressive practical effects and gripping horror tales that remain as relevant today as they were three decades ago. "Tales From the Hood" is not just an important piece of horror history, but a fantastic and thought-provoking viewing experience.

Indulge in the Autumnal Charm of "The Age of Adaline"

If you're in the mood for something more atmospheric and less spooky, "The Age of Adaline" offers a supernatural romance wrapped in the cozy embrace of fall. Starring Blake Lively as a woman who has remained in her late 20s for decades, the film follows her journey as she falls in love with Ellis (Michiel Huisman) and navigates the emotional complexities of her timeless existence. Charming, emotional, and beautifully shot, this Tubi offering from director Lee Toland Krieger also features standout performances from Harrison Ford, Kathy Baker, and Ellen Burstyn.

Embrace the Terrifying Vampire Thrills of "30 Days of Night"

If you're in the mood for some truly frightening vampire action, look no further than "30 Days of Night." Adapted from Steve Niles' comic, this 2007 film stars Josh Hartnett as an Alaskan sheriff who must defend his remote town from a horde of bloodthirsty vampires during a month-long polar night. Directed by David Slade, "30 Days of Night" is one of the scariest vampire movies in recent memory, with a truly menacing performance from Danny Huston as the ancient, cruel, and endlessly hungry antagonist. Prepare to be on the edge of your seat as the film's spectacular visuals and relentless scares unfold.

Revisit the Thrilling Origins of the "Resident Evil" Franchise

While the "Resident Evil" film franchise has had its ups and downs, the original 2002 movie is a hidden gem worth revisiting. Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, this horror-thriller mystery box is a smart, tightly constructed affair, with a string of thrilling set pieces that include the unforgettable laser grid sequence. Forget the later installments and the video game source material – the first "Resident Evil" movie stands on its own as a fun hybrid of sci-fi thrills and classic zombie horror.
