Six Horror Films You Can Watch on Hulu

One of the problems most independent filmmakers face is finding distribution for their films. Luckily, in this day and age, online streaming services are becoming a new avenue for distribution of television and film. Millie Loredo put together a screening tour in select theaters for her indie horror film Sorrow, but she’ll be able to reach an even wider audience now that Hulu Network will begin streaming Sorrow online mid-May.
 

Hulu Network is an online streaming service for television shows and films, and it has quite a selection of both. There are many horror films available to stream on Hulu, soon to include Sorrow, and below are the best six horror films on the network right now. Keep reading to find out which horror films you should be streaming online!
 

1. The Evil Dead (1981) 


This Sam Raimi classic has acquired a cult following over the years. The series of horror films centered on the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, an ancient Sumerian book that when read out loud, brings forth deadly spirits that wreak havoc on those who read it. A reboot of the film premiered at SXSW in 2013.

2. The Descent (2005)



This film, directed by Neil Marshall, follows the story of six women who go spelunking an uncharted cave system where they are trapped and hunted by flesh-eating creatures. The film scared horror film fans so much it inspired a sequel.

3. Night of the Living Dead (1968)



This classic, directed by horror film mastermind George A. Romero, follows the story of seven friends trapped in a farmhouse in Pennsylvania overrun by zombies. It is one of the first zombie horror films and has inspired many other films as well as television shows.

4. The House on Haunted Hill (1959)
 


This film, directed by William Castle, tells the story of an eccentric millionaire and his wife who invite five guests to a “haunted house” party. Whoever stays in the house the whole night wins $10,000, but they have to survive being trapped in the house with ghosts, murderers and other terrors. The film was remade in 1999.

5. Children of the Corn (1984)
 


This Fritz Kiersch film is based on the Stephen King short story of the same name, which tells of a fictional town in Nebraska where a vicious “spirit” inspires all of the children in the town to murder all the adults and sacrificing any adults passing through the town. Burt and Vicky are a couple of unlucky passers-by. The film was remade in 2009.

6. Dark Mountain (2013)


 In March 2011, three filmmakers travel to the Superstition Mountains of Arizona in search of the Lost Dutchman mine. They are never found, but their camera is.
