Watch it on Netflix The Cabin in the Woods: If you’re looking for a different take on the slasher genre, then 2012’s The Cabin in the Woods, directed by Drew Goddard ( Bad Times at El Royale), may be for you. I Know What You Did Last Summer is streaming on Netflix. ( She’s All That) accidentally hitting a pedestrian with their car and then being terrorized by a man with a fishhook and a raincoat is always a ripping good time. Rent it on Amazon I Know What You Did Last Summer: 1997’s teen scream classic I Know What You Did Last Summer, written by Kevin Williamson ( Scream), isn’t as iconic as some other films on this list but this tale of characters played by Sarah Michelle Geller ( Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Jennifer Love Hewitt ( Party of Five), and Freddie Prinze Jr. Directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, this love letter to the genre is just as fun now as it was when it came out. When Sidney Prescott ( Party of Five’s Neve Campbell) and her friends are being terrorized by Ghostface, a chatty masked killer, they need to use their wits and knowledge of horror films to stay alive. By blending horror and humor and featuring genre-savvy characters, Scream proved what a lot of horror buffs already knew: slashers don’t have to be dumb to be fun. Rent it on Amazon Scream: Scream rejuvenated the slasher genre when it came out in 1996. Halloween is available for rent on Amazon. Nick Castle reprises his role as Michael Myers. Laurie Strode ( Jamie Lee Curtis), a survivor of Michael Myers’ 1978 killing spree, has spent the years since consumed by the trauma of that night and is more than prepared to fight back when she and her family are once more targeted by the masked killer in this thrilling entry in the franchise.

Watch it on Amazon Halloween (2018): Much like Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a sequel to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre but not other films in the franchise, 2018’s Halloween is a sequel to 1978’s Halloween and ignores the other previous movies in the franchise.
