Shudder.com is a streaming service that primarily features horror movies and shows. It’s only $5.99 a month, but there isn’t enough content to justify a subscription just yet. However, there are a handful of great Halloween movies that the seven-day free trial will give you plenty of time to watch.

Listed here are some great movies, in no particular order.

“Mandy” is a Shudder original. It’s slow, surreal and incredibly weird. The first half takes a lot of patience to get through, but the second half makes it worth it.

The film is about a man named Red, played by Nicolas Cage, who goes on a murderous rampage after a cult summons a demon biker gang to kidnap his wife, Mandy. It is gory, violent and disturbing, but it takes a full hour to get to that point.

This movie also has cartoon-animated dream sequences, which both happen in the second half. Scenes like these are what set the second half apart.

“Halloween” is about an escaped mental patient, Michael Myers, returning to his hometown to continue the killing spree he started 15 years prior.

This movie is one of the earliest slasher movies and inspiration for other well-known films in that genre, notably “Friday the 13th.” But compared to the more notable slasher movies, “Halloween” feels much more mundane.

“Halloween” is very slow and deliberate, and the actual slashing doesn’t come until about halfway through the film. That time isn’t wasted, though, as it is constantly building up tension and a feeling of unease.

While many aspects of the movie haven’t aged all that well, “Halloween” is still a very effective horror movie, perfect for a certain October holiday.

“Night of the Living Dead” is about a group of people defending a house from a horde of zombies.

Zombies were first depicted as the slow, shambling corpses we know and love today in “Night of the Living Dead.” It’s not the best zombie movie, but it’s a must-see for any zombie fan.

While not a horror movie, “Oldboy” is still intensely thrilling. It’s entirely in Korean, so watch if you’re willing to read subtitles.

It tells the story of a man named Dae-Su, who is abducted and imprisoned for 15 years by an unknown organization. After he is suddenly and mysteriously released, he sets out on a journey of revenge.

“Oldboy” is dark and disturbing but deeply compelling. It isn’t for everyone.

“Re-Animator” is a horror-comedy about a man who created a serum to bring the dead back to life. It’s silly and full of gore. While a couple of scenes are truly unsettling, they’re counteracted with comedy.

“Re-Animator” is a fun and violent romp that deserves far more appreciation than it has gotten since its release.
