The 9 Best Horror Movies on Hulu Right Now

Hulu offers a range of horror films for fans to consume during the spooky season. With numerous options, choice paralysis can occur, but this report provides recommendations from new releases in 2026 to classic horror films that paved the way.

Rachel McAdams stars in "Send Help," a survival horror film directed by Sam Raimi. McAdams and Dylan O'Brien portray two co-workers stranded on an island, facing shifting power dynamics. The film is described as disgusting, brutal, and funny, making it a great choice for both diehard horror fans and those new to Raimi's work.

Another classic slasher movie, "Scream," directed by Wes Craven, has become a staple of the genre. The film's success led to a mega franchise, with Ghostface Killers making creepy phone calls and wielding butcher knives. "Scream" is known for blending scares with laughs, providing an even more satisfying experience for viewers.

"Hokum," starring Adam Scott, may not have made as much of an impact as other horror films, but it could be the scariest of the bunch. Scott plays a tortured writer who travels to Ireland to visit the hotel where his parents honeymooned. The hotel is reportedly haunted, and Scott becomes entangled in the dark events that unfold. Fans of "1408" will find "Hokum" equally frightening and provide twice the number of scares.
