Plex just blocked one of the last free ways to stream your own movies remotely

As spooky season nears, Plex has added three top-tier horror films to their free streaming lineup, including Robert Eggers' haunting 17th-century masterpiece The Witch. The Witch, starring Anya Taylor-Joy, is a masterclass in folk horror and slow-burn dread. It follows the Banished family who move to a remote farm in 17th-century New England and soon become victims of malevolent forces in the forest. The film, with its slow pacing and authentic period dialogue, is a must-watch for any horror fan.

Next on the list is Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin, a deeply unsettling sci-fi horror starring Scarlett Johansson. Johansson plays an extraterrestrial disguised as a woman, driving through Scotland and picking up unsuspecting men for sinister purposes. The film is a must-watch for its haunting visuals, Johansson's impressive performance, and deeper layers that make it worth the watch.

Lastly, Scott Derrickson's Sinister (2012) rounds out the lineup. Before he became known for The Black Phone, Ethan Hawke starred in this early 2010s horror film. The story revolves around a true-crime writer, Ellison, who relocates with his family to a new house only to discover a box of old film reels depicting a series of brutal murders.

As Ellison becomes obsessed with the unsolved crimes, he becomes increasingly haunted by evil forces. Sinister is a chilling and gripping horror film that deserves a spot at the top of any horror fan's watchlist.
