Horror Streaming This Month
Every week we here at iHorror update you on what Netflix is adding to their line-up of horror movies and T.V. shows, leaving out other streaming services. Well, this week we dive into three of the other major streaming services to see what they have to offer you:
HBO GO: Fun fact: HBO GO is not just for watching Game of Thrones! HBO GO is awesome for having all their great original content, but at the moment they are lacking in the horror department. HBO might not have the biggest selection of horror movies, luckily though they do have a few great titles like Twilight Zone: The Movie! Where directors Stephen Spielberg, George Miller, Joe Dante, and John Landis remake some of the best stories from the original series. Like most anthology films it is a bit hit or miss, but it is still a fun time.
If you are looking for something more Lovecraftian than check out John Carpenter’s super underrated In the Mouth of Madness. Starring Sam Neil on the hunt to track down a famous author gone missing, In the Mouth of Madness is one of the best Lovecraft inspired films of the 90’s.
In the mood for some horror comedy where you can sing along with the characters? Right now Little Shop of Horrors and Young Frankenstein are ready for streaming.
Also available are Halloween H20, Prowl, Session 9, The Shining, Queen of the Damned, Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Hulu Plus: Hulu Plus is known mostly for watching TV shows, but it has a pretty decent movie collection as well. Much like Netflix you will have to dig through a lot of not so good titles, basically like digging through the cheap DVD bin at a gas station. The great thing about having a Hulu Plus account though, is having access to The Criterion Collection’s vast library of classic titles including David Cronenberg films like The Brood, Scanners (1-3), Peeping Tom, and Guillermo Del Toro’s Cronos. This include titles they have the rights to but haven’t released on video yet.
If Criterion Collection is a bit too classy for your taste Hulu also has access to most of Full Moon’s catalogue including the Gingerbread Man, Evil Bong, and Puppet Master films. Not sure how much longer these titles will be on Hulu due to full moon launching their own streaming services, so enjoy them while you can.
Also our favorite hostess with the mostess Elvira is at home with many of her hosted titles available to stream anytime. Everything from classic hosting episode to her recent 13 Nights with Elvira show where she hosts mostly Full Moon movies.
Like your class more sleaze than cheese? Lucky for you Hulu has access to some of Blue Underground titles including Maniac Cop (1 & 2) and The Blind Dead series. Blue Underground also made a deal with Full Moon so that they will be able to streaming over 50 of their titles soon on their streaming service. I am not sure if this will affect Hulu having their titles so enjoy them while you can!
Also available on Hulu Plus are The Decent 1 & 2, Candyman, Ginger Snaps 1-3, The Collector, 2001 Maniacs, The Blob, Cannibal Holocaust, The Eye (original and remake), Frankenhooker, Swamp Thing, C.H.U.D. 1 & 2, Grizzly, The Battery, The Beyond.
Amazon Prime: Amazon Prime has been stepping their streaming service game up a lot lately. Between getting past HBO series and documentaries as well as their own original programing they are setting themselves apart from the other services. Amazon also has exclusive streaming rights to A24 films giving them access to films like Tusk, Under the Skin, and Life After Beth.
Amazon also has exclusive streaming right to NBC’s Hannibal, which if you aren’t watching that show then you are missing out. Big time.
If you are looking for horror titles closer to the early years of cinema then lucky for you Amazon has access to Kino Lorber films including The Cat and the Canary, Nosferatu (The restored Kino edition), The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (restored Kino edition), and Kingdom of Shadows. Not only are these are the beautifully restored versions of these films, but these titles prove that age doesn’t matter because older horror films are still scary.
They also have a bunch of titles from Redemption which offers such classics as Virgin Witch, Requiem for a Vampire, The Living Dead Girl, Killer’s Moon, and The Grapes of Death. Which is pretty sweet they have access to some of their titles because Redemption Dvds and Blus sometimes run for a pretty penny or two.
Also included with an Amazon Prime account is Woman In Black, Dead Zone, The Town That Dreaded Sundown, the original My Bloody Valentine, Terror At London Bridge, The Hills Have Eyes Part 2, Day of the Nightmare, Phantoms, and I Bury the Living.
So whether you are bored with Netflix’s selections, don’t have a Netflix account, or just got your friend’s account info for one of these other services, we hope this helped you find something new to watch or a classic to revisit. What is your go-to streaming site?

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date
Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
