10 New Horror Movies Streaming On Max And Netflix This Month

Beetlejuice is one of the most charming horror comedies ever and is the second feature film from creepy auteur Tim Burton. After Pee Wee's Big Adventure, which does have a very memorable scary sequence, Burton dove right into the horror pool.

Michael Keaton stars as the irascible "bio-exorcist" that the newly dead married couple, played by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis, hire after their all too human attempts to frighten the annoying family that has moved into their beloved home fail miserably.  Catherine O'Hara, Winona Ryder, Sylvia Sidney, Glenn Shadix, Robert Goulet, and Dick Cavett join in on the grotesque festivities as the rest of the cast.

Beetlejuice is now streaming on Max.

Netflix's Chucky binge does not include the first film but does start with Child’s Play 2. The slasher film sequel is written by creator Don Mancini and directed by John Lafia. In it, Andy's stalwart mom is institutionalized, and Chucky continues to pursue the boy with the intent of exchanging bodies with him for good. 

Alex Vincent, Jenny Agutter, Gerrit Graham, Christine Elise, and Grace Zabriskie star in this second film in the continuing series.

What happens when the doll form of Charles Lee Ray goes to military school? Child's Play 3 is here to answer that question.  Aside from Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky, it's an all-new cast with Justin Whalin, Perrey Reeves, Jeremy Sylvers, and Andrew Robinson.

Don Mancini returned to write the screenplay, and Jack Bender,  the director, would later go on to direct television shows such as Lost, Game of Thrones, and The Sopranos.

The Child's Play franchise takes a new turn in Bride of Chucky, in which Charles Lee Ray takes a bride. Gone is the obsession with Andy Barclay from the first three films, and Chucky is magically revived by his former girlfriend. The film is the first to delve deeply into the comedy inherent in the series' core. It was written by Don Mancini and directed by Ronny Yu. 

Jennifer Tilly, Katherine Heigl, later the star of Grey's Anatomy, Nick Stabile, John Ritter, and Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky star in the film, which takes us all on one scary road trip.

First comes love, then comes marriage, and then comes Chucky with the baby carriage? After marriage, usually, it is time to have children, and after Chucky and Tiffany are again revived by magic, the air is pregnant with danger. Seed of Chucky is the first film in the series to be written and directed by Chucky creator Don Mancini.

This black comedy slasher stars Jennifer Tilly, Redman, Hannah Spearritt, John Waters, Billy Boyd, and, as always, Brad Dourif as the gory carnage continues.

In this supernatural slasher, written and directed by Don Mancini, Charles Lee Ray has learned to create a magical cult of Chucky in multiple bodies. Bad news, but Andy Barclay, his original best friend and opponent, has returned.

In August, Fear the Walking Dead comes shambling to Netflix. All eight seasons of the post-apocalyptic series, which shows the beginning of the zombie plague in Los Angeles, will be streamed on Netflix for all zombie fans. 

Kim Dickens, Cliff Curtis, Frank Dillane, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Rubén Blades, and Colman Domingo have been the series' central cast members since the beginning, but only a few survive to the last episode. Lennie James, who plays The Walking Dead's Lennie Jones, crosses over to Fear the Walking Dead in Season Four.

Netflix has some special treats for horror fans this month, including the streaming debut of Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color. Director, writer, and visual effects supervisor Takashi Yamazaki really made a magnificent new Godzilla film for the 21st Century, and this year, it was announced that a black and white version of the film would also be released as Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color.

The new version of the film is not merely drained of color but is a cut-by-cut alternate that uses various mattes to create a new version of the film. The film was a critically acclaimed monster hit and stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada, and Munetaka Aoki.

Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color is now streaming on Netflix.

Another treat for Netflix viewers from AMC is the release of the first season of AMC's television series adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire. The critically acclaimed series, created by playwright and television writer Rolin Jones, stars Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, Eric Bogosian, and Bailey Bass.

The show is much more faithful to Rice's books and includes the deadly romance between Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt and keeps the framing of the interview with a journalist, Daniel Molloy, as the center of the storytelling. In this version, Molloy is much older and suspects that Louis may not be a reliable narrator.
