Tubi Horror Movies to Watch Before They Leave (August 2020)

Bubba Ho-tep - Tubi Horror Movies

If you’ve already discovered Tubi horror movies, you’re among the lucky few who know that some great things really are free in this life. Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. As is the case with every other streaming service, films on Tubi have a shelf life.

Take a few minutes away from storming your watch list to catch these soon-to-be-gone Tubi horror movies. It might just be your last chance!

1. The Crazies (2010)

When we created our list of the worst horror movies on Tubi, The Crazies wasn’t even close to landing on the list. It’s one of those rare remakes that is probably better than the original. Here’s the synopsis:

“Anarchy reigns when an unknown toxin turns the peaceful citizens of Ogden Marsh into bloodthirsty lunatics. In an effort to contain the spread of the infection, authorities blockade the town and use deadly force to keep anyone from getting in or out.” 

If you think the original is better, don’t get bent out of shape with me. I’m just going by the film’s IMDb rating – and my awesome personal opinion. Either way, this is one of the Tubi horror movies you can’t miss while it’s still available. Here’s the trailer:

2. Frozen (2010)

Most people have never seen this hidden gem, but many folks who did come across it haven’t had terrible things to say about it. It’s got a solid rating on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, so it’s certainly worth a watch before Tubi drops it. Here’s the synopsis:

“A typical day on the slopes turns into a chilling nightmare for three snowboarders when they get stranded on the chairlift before their last run. As the ski patrol switches off the night lights, they realize with growing panic that they’ve been left behind dangling high off the ground with no way down. With the resort closed until the following weekend and frostbite and hypothermia already setting in, the trio is forced to take desperate measures to escape off the mountain before they freeze to death.”

The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is far lower than the critic score, so you’ll have to make up your own mind about this soon-to-be-non-existent Tubi horror movie. Here’s the trailer to help:

3. Let Me In (2010)

Just a couple years after Let the Right One In debuted to critical acclaim, an English version of the film dropped to American audiences. It’s ranked a bit lower than its Swedish counterpart, but it still snagged a 7.1 rating on IMDb. Here’s the synopsis and trailer:

“Bullied at school, neglected at home and incredibly lonely, 12-year-old Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) spends his days plotting revenge on his tormentors and spends his nights spying on other residents of the apartment complex. His sole friend is Abby (Chloë Grace Moretz), a strange girl who comes out only at nighttime. Both outcasts, the two form a strong bond. When Abby’s caretaker disappears amid a series of gruesome murders, Owen begins to suspect that she is hiding a terrible secret.”

4. The Glass House (2001)

I’m going to keep this Tubi horror movie suggestion simple – mostly because some people might say it’s not horror. In fact, Wikipedia calls it a psychological mystery thriller. That fits into the horror definition, though, right?

If I’m being honest, this is more about my crush on Leelee Sobieski. Here’s a short synopsis along with the trailer in case you want to take a chance. FYI, I loved it. Again, though, that could be more about Sobieski than anything else!

“An orphaned teenager is taken in by a Malibu couple but discovers they aren’t the caring friends they seemed to be.”

5. Confinement (2020)

I haven’t actually seen this one, but it appears to be one of those flicks that got made from home due to social distancing orders. There isn’t a whole bunch of information on the film out there, but it’s less than an hour long. You could legitimately watch it while laying down for bed.

Here’s the synopsis. The synopsis only – because I literally can’t find the trailer anywhere. It looks like the film’s Facebook page is even gone. So if you don’t catch this Tubi horror movie now, you literally might never get the chance to again.

“When an online stalker hacks a family’s chat room, terror is the name of the game.”

6. The Voices (2015)

Ryan Reynolds as a serial killer who’s stuck between whether he should listen to his dog or cat while going through his deranged life. That’s basically enough to make anyone watch it, right? It’s also the best synopsis I’m going to give! Here’s the trailer:

7. V/H/S (2012)

People seem to have fallen in love with the V/H/S found-footage series, and when searching the depths of Tubi horror movie options, you’ll find at least three offerings from the series. Unfortunately, they’ll all be leaving the platform soon. Here’s the trailer for the first film, but you better watch all three soon if you want to do so for free:

8. Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995)

Tony Todd helped turn Candyman into a horror icon. In fact, Jordan Peele was tapped to create a remake of the film due to its continued popularity. If you’ve been under a rock for the past quarter-century, here’s the synopsis for the original:

“Skeptical graduate student Helen Lyle befriends Anne-Marie McCoy while researching superstitions in a housing project on Chicago’s Near North Side. From Anne-Marie, Helen learns about the Candyman, a knife-wielding figure of urban legend that some of her neighbors believe to be responsible for a recent murder. After a mysterious man matching the Candyman’s description begins stalking her, Helen comes to fear that the legend may be all too real.”

Here’s the trailer as well. Even if you have watched this one already, you might as well do so again while it’s still a free Tubi horror movie.

9. The Rift (1990)

I hesitate to even add The Rift to this list, but it technically meets the parameters of the article. It’s a horror movie that’s leaving Tubi soon. Unfortunately, it’s also got a rating lower than 5 points on IMDb. I doubt it even falls into the category of “so bad it’s good.”

Either way, here’s your trailer:

10. Bubba Ho-Tep (2003)

Come on! Bruce Campbell as an aging Elvis Presley living in an old folks’ home? How could you possibly not want to catch this Tubi horror movie before it’s gone? I’m not even going to take the time to copy and paste the synopsis. If you honestly don’t want to see this before it’s no longer free, you’re on your own!

In the interest of camaraderie, though, here’s the trailer:

Watch These Tubi Horror Movies Before They’re Gone!

Like many other streaming services, Tubi doesn’t tell us exactly when these films are leaving. They just tell us they’ll be gone soon and then leave us in suspense – wondering if we really need that first bathroom break.

Did you spot a soon-to-be-gone Tubi horror movie that we missed? Let us know in the comments and we just might add it!

Russell Crowe To Star in Another Exorcism Movie & It’s Not a Sequel

Published

on

Maybe it’s because The Exorcist just celebrated its 50th-anniversary last year, or maybe it’s because aging Academy Award-winning actors aren’t too proud to take on obscure roles, but Russell Crowe is visiting the Devil once again in yet another possession film. And it’s not related to his last one, The Pope’s Exorcist.

According to Collider, the film titled The Exorcism was originally going to be released under the name The Georgetown Project. Rights for its North American release were once in the hands of Miramax but then went to Vertical Entertainment. It will release on June 7 in theaters then head over to Shudder for subscribers.

Crowe will also star in this year’s upcoming Kraven the Hunter which is set to drop in theaters on August 30.

As for The Exorcism, Collider provides us with what it’s about:

“The film centers around actor Anthony Miller (Crowe), whose troubles come to the forefront as he shoots a supernatural horror movie. His estranged daughter (Ryan Simpkins) has to figure out whether he’s lapsing into his past addictions, or if something even more horrific is occurring. “

Deadpool & Wolverine might be the buddy movie of the decade. The two heterodox superheroes are back in the latest trailer for the summer blockbuster, this time with more f-bombs than a gangster film.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Movie Trailer

This time the focus is on Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman. The adamantium-infused X-Man is having a bit of a pity party when Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) arrives on the scene who then tries to convince him to team up for selfish reasons. The result is a profanity-filled trailer with a Strange surprise at the end.

Deadpool & Wolverine is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. It comes out on July 26. Here is the latest trailer, and we suggest if you are at work and your space isn’t private, you might want to put in headphones.

Original Blair Witch Cast Ask Lionsgate for Retroactive Residuals in Light of New Film

Published

on

The Blair Witch Project Cast

Jason Blum is planning to reboot The Blair Witch Project for the second time. That’s a fairly large task considering none of the reboots or sequels have managed to capture the magic of the 1999 film that brought found footage into the mainstream.

This idea has not been lost on the original Blair Witch cast, who has recently reached out to Lionsgate to ask for what they feel is fair compensation for their role in the pivotal film. Lionsgate gained access to The Blair Witch Project in 2003 when they purchased Artisan Entertainment.

However, Artisan Entertainment was an independent studio before its purchase, meaning the actors were not part of SAG-AFTRA. As a result, the cast are not entitled to the same residuals from the project as actors in other major films. The cast doesn’t feel that the studio should be able to continue to profit off of their hard work and likenesses without fair compensation.

Their most recent request asks for “meaningful consultation on any future ‘Blair Witch’ reboot, sequel, prequel, toy, game, ride, escape room, etc., in which one could reasonably assume that Heather, Michael & Josh’s names and/or likenesses will be associated for promotional purposes in the public sphere.”

At this time, Lionsgate has not offered any comment about this issue.

The full statement made by the cast can be found below.

OUR ASKS OF LIONSGATE (From Heather, Michael & Josh, stars of “The Blair Witch Project”):

1. Retroactive + future residual payments to Heather, Michael and Josh for acting services rendered in the original BWP, equivalent to the sum that would’ve been allotted through SAG-AFTRA, had we had proper union or legal representation when the film was made.

2. Meaningful consultation on any future Blair Witch reboot, sequel, prequel, toy, game, ride, escape room, etc…, in which one could reasonably assume that Heather, Michael & Josh’s names and/or likenesses will be associated for promotional purposes in the public sphere.

Note: Our film has now been rebooted twice, both times were a disappointment from a fan/box office/critical perspective. Neither of these films were made with significant creative input from the original team. As the insiders who created the Blair Witch and have been listening to what fans love & want for 25 years, we’re your single greatest, yet thus-far un-utilized secret-weapon!

3. “The Blair Witch Grant”: A 60k grant (the budget of our original movie), paid out yearly by Lionsgate, to an unknown/aspiring genre filmmaker to assist in making theirfirst feature film. This is a GRANT, not a development fund, hence Lionsgate will not own any of the underlying rights to the project.

A PUBLIC STATEMENT FROM THE DIRECTORS & PRODUCERS OF “THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT”:

As we near the 25th anniversary of The Blair Witch Project, our pride in the storyworld we created and the film we produced is reaffirmed by the recent announcement of a reboot by horror icons Jason Blum and James Wan.

While we, the original filmmakers, respect Lionsgate’s right to monetize the intellectual property as it sees fit, we must highlight the significant contributions of the original cast — Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Mike Williams. As the literal faces of what has become a franchise, their likenesses, voices, and real names are inseparably tied to The Blair Witch Project. Their unique contributions not only defined the film’s authenticity but continue to resonate with audiences around the world.

We celebrate our film’s legacy, and equally, we believe the actors deserve to be celebrated for their enduring association with the franchise.

Sincerely, Eduardo Sanchez, Dan Myrick, Gregg Hale, Robin Cowie, and Michael Monello
