Personally, we love them all year-round, but we especially love them at Halloween. Whether you're a classic horror fan or prefer newer offerings on Netflix, such as The Haunting Of Bly Manor and Fear Street Trilogy, the streaming service always comes up trumps at this time of year.
As well as plenty of scream-worthy flicks, Netflix boasts a whole host of fun and spooky Halloween films to enjoy on All Hallow's Eve, including cartoon versions of The Addams Family and last year's original comedy Hubie Halloween, starring Adam Sandler.
