Horror on Criterion Channel
171 horror films currently streaming · US
The Criterion Channel is a curated platform built around restoration-quality arthouse and world cinema, and its horror programming reflects that: themed monthly series on Italian giallo or Mario Bava, restorations of films like Eyes Without a Face and Daughters of the Dust, and the studio's own boutique editions. The catalog rotates more than most — programs come and go monthly — but it's the strongest place to watch canonical horror in proper restorations. Below: every horror film currently included with a Criterion Channel subscription in the US.
