Terror Time has compiled a list for you of websites you can watch free horror on and you won’t get busted. Enjoy!

There are plenty of torrent websites out there with the latest horror movies to download, but: 1) they usually are illegally infringing on copyrights, and you could get in trouble if you download; 2) the picture and audio quality might not be good; and 3) who knows what you’re actually downloading? Virus scan, anyone? Here are 16 safer alternatives, websites where you can watch horror movies online legally and for free.

Selection: Hard to tell; at least 50+ horror movies Video Quality: Good Download or Stream in Browser?: Browser Legal?: Yes Sample Titles: Shaun of the Dead, Anaconda, Priest, Ghostbusters II, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Resident Evil: Extinction, Night of the Creeps, The Grudge, Ghosts of Mars, Urban Legend, The Cave, Vacancy Bottom Line: Crackle is owned by Sony, so the site has that studio’s high-profile vault of films from which to pick, as well as subsidiaries like Columbia, TriStar and Screen Gems. That said, because Crackle frustratingly shuffles in and out what is available, only a handful of horror movies (12, to be exact) are on the site at any given time. It does, however, occasionally have original offerings made only for the site, such as the live-action video game adaptation Dead Rising: Watchtower.

Selection: Around 200 horror movies, from 1900s to 2000s Video Quality: Good Download or Stream in Browser?: Browser Legal?: Yes Sample Titles: Aaah! Zombies!!, Cropsey, Poultrygeist, Sleepaway Camp III, Class of Nuke ’em High, Eaten AliveNight of the Living Dead, Hayride, The Mangler Reborn Bottom Line: Boasts a large selection of horror movies, although most are obscure, low-budget fare.

Selection: Around 500 horror movies

Video Quality: Fair to Good

Download or Stream in Browser?: Browser

Legal?: Varies

Sample Titles:The Descent, The Gate, REC 2, Bad Meat, Laid to Rest, Seconds Apart, Dark Floors, Black Sheep, The Blob, Prowl, Don’t Look in the Basement, The Beyond, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie

Bottom Line: Veoh provides user-generated content, so there may be copyright issues with some of the films (granted, if there are, simply viewing the films online shouldn’t get you in trouble), and you might have to sift through some cheesy homemade videos. However, it allows you to sort by genre and video length, so it’s easy to locate feature-length horror selections. Veoh also stands out for a robust selection of foreign horror fare.

7. PopcornFlix/FrightPix Selection: Around 250 horror movies, from 1960s to 2000s

Video Quality: Good

Download or Stream in Browser?: Browser

Legal?: Yes

Sample Titles:The Woman, The Toxic Avenger, BloodRayne, The Collector, Puppet Master, Birdemic 2, Tombs of the Blind Dead,Dread, Jugface, Satan’s Little Helper, FDR: American Badass, Dark Night of the Scarecrow, Big Bad Wolf, Amber Alert, Mask Maker, They Wait

Bottom Line: PopcornFlix is a streaming service run by Screen Media, a leading distributor that provides plenty of content to the site, meaning most of the content is high-end direct to video. An offshoot, FrightPix, focuses on horror movies, although it seems to have a lot of the same movies.

6. Tubi TV Selection: Around 150 horror movies, from 1950s to 2000s

Video Quality: Good

Download or Stream in Browser?: Browser

Legal?: Yes

Sample Titles:Day of the Dead, The Devil Inside, The Evil Dead, The Loved Ones, Ghost Team One, Cropsey, Madman, And Soon the Darkness, Bad Taste, Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh, Outpost: Black Sun, Chastity Bites

Bottom Line: Partnering with the likes of Paramount and Starz, Tubi TV offers a nice selection of licensed films alongside some public domain choices.

5. Hulu Selection: Around 250 horror movies, from the 1950s to the 2000s

Video Quality: Excellent

Download or Stream in Browser?: Browser

Legal?: Yes

Sample Titles:Scanners, Evil Dead II, The Collector, Hellraiser, The Human Centipede, Sharknado, Inferno, Bedevilled, The Abandoned, Maniac Cop, Cannibal Holocaust, Them, Excision, Malevolence, The Brood, Suicide Club, Hatchet

Bottom Line: One of the first video sites to pay for the rights to show full-length, high-caliber movies for free, Hulu features a great selection of horror films unavailable for viewing elsewhere and provides many of these same flicks to sites like IMDb. A pay option, Hulu Plus, provides a wider selection.

4. Internet Movie Database Selection: Hard to tell; probably 300+ horror movies, from 1900s to 2000s

Video Quality: Good

Download or Stream in Browser?: Browser

Legal?: Yes

Sample Titles:Ginger Snaps, Evil Dead II, Gingerdead Man, Evil Bong, Frankenhooker, Night Train, Warlock III, The Abandoned, Dorian Gray

Bottom Line: This iconic movie reference site hosts more than 10,000 movies — granted, most are short films and/or very obscure. Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to sort the list by genre (or length, despite what it claims), so searching for horror can be time-consuming and frustrating. IMDb also embeds another 30,000-plus free movies (again, many of which are short films and/or very obscure) — which are sortable by genre — from other sites, including about 250 horror features from Hulu and Internet Archive, plus pay movies from Amazon.

3. 80sHorror.net Selection: Around 500 horror movies, from 1980s

Video Quality: Good

Download or Stream in Browser?: Browser

Legal?: Varies

Sample Titles:The Changeling, The Fog, Prom Night, The Shining, Cannibal Holocaust, Terror Train, An American Werewolf in London, The Burning, The Funhouse, The Howling, My Bloody Valentine, The Thing, Creepshow, Poltergeist, Cujo, Demons

Bottom Line: Because it can be hard to find the user-uploaded content on YouTube, 80sHorror.net is a wonderfully useful tool that organizes and embeds/links to hundreds of horror movies on the site, with a focus on films released in the wild ‘n wooly 1980s. It even breaks the films down by year. As with all user-generated content on YouTube, there may be some copyright issues, so don’t be surprised if a film is suddenly yanked.

2. YouTube Selection: Hard to tell; likely 1,000+ horror movies, from 1900s to 2000s

Video Quality: Good to Excellent

Download or Stream in Browser?: Browser

Legal?: Varies

Sample Titles:Night of the Creeps, Last House on the Left, Ticks, Dark Night of the Scarecrow, The Stepfather, Suspiria, Ringu, Audition, The Others, 1408, When a Stranger Calls, Class of Nuke ‘Em High, Driller Killer

Bottom Line: A longtime haven for user-generated content, YouTube now also has licensed movies from major studios and independents like Troma that are willing to post some films for free viewing. The user content is where most of the free content is, but it’s scattered and hard to browse (not to mention copyright questionable). It’s useful to find a power user who’s uploaded a lot of horror content or track down a site like 80sHorror.net that’s done the research for you and found a lot of the horror movies available on YouTube. Often, the non-licensed feature films are divided into 10-minute chunks, so be prepared that some portions might be missing.

1. OVGuide Selection: Around 1,000+ horror movies, from 1900s to 2000s

Video Quality: Fair to Excellent

Download or Stream in Browser?: Browser

Legal?: Yes

Sample Titles:Shaun of the Dead, The Devil Inside, Underworld: Evolution, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Exit Humanity, Barricade, The Collector, Satan’s Little Helper, Ginger Snaps, The Evil Dead, I Spit on Your Grave, The House on Sorority Row

Bottom Line: OVGuide is an aggregator that collects and organizes links to other (legal) sites that house movies, including PopcornFlix, Snag Films, Hulu, Crackle and YouTube. As such, the selection is large, with over 1,000 free films (and even more pay movies) within the horror genre alone. With so much content, however, you’ll find quite a few links incorrectly labeled.

There you have it. Terror Time’s list of websites to watch free horror on.
