Some of the trouble that comes with picking out a movie or TV show to watch is the paralysis of staring at the huge libraries of each streaming service. Now that spooky season is in full swing, you might be wondering what to watch for Halloween. Let’s make this easier, shall we? I’ve picked out a great movie or TV show for you to watch based on your zodiac sign. For some, it’s the scariest stuff around. For others who can’t handle big scares, I picked something more mellow. Read on for what you should watch this Halloween based on your zodiac, and where you can stream it.
Aries
You should watch The Haunting of Hill House (2018) on Netflix.
You can handle scary movies like the best of them, so why not watch Mike Flanagan’s best Netflix series? The Haunting of Hill House brings serious scares, both psychological and supernatural. It’s also a heartbreaking look at what it means to lose a family member. It’s a literal modern masterpiece.
Taurus
You should watch Final Destination (2000) on Max.
You like to be scared, but you also like to think about whether fate could exist (and whether you would even want it to). That means you should watch the first of the Final Destination series. When the characters dodge death by walking off a flight to Paris, death finds a way to get them in the end anyway.
Gemini
You should watch Ghostbusters (1984) on Peacock.
While you might not want to admit it, you don’t like being scared. Ghostbusters, the quintessential ghost-fighting comedy of the ’80s, has some chills, sure, but it’s mostly just a good fun time. Best of all, you’ve probably seen it before, so you don’t have to spook yourself with something new.
Cancer
You should watch the original Scream (1996) on Max.
You love the classics, and that includes the movie that reignited a love of slasher horror for a new generation. Scream gets you with the very real thrills plus the irreverent humor that has carried it through five sequels. Maybe this could even start you on a Halloween movie marathon.
Leo
You should watch Pearl (2022) on Showtime.
Why not watch a movie where you can identify a bit with the psychopathic main character? After all, Pearl just wants to be a star. Can you really blame her for doing everything it takes to live out her dream? Pearl is about as Leo as they come.
Virgo
You should watch The Blair Witch Project (1999) on Paramount+.
You’re a badass who wants to prove it by watching one of the scariest horror movies of all time. The Blair Witch Project was so realistic that people genuinely thought it was real when it first came out. Just make sure you have some nausea medicine on hand because that cam gets mighty shaky.
Libra
You should watch Haunted Mansion (2023) on Disney+.
A brand new Haunted Mansion movie? Yes, please. Full of an all-star cast, this is a great choice for someone who doesn’t really want to mess around with scary movies. In other words, a Libra. This is a family movie, so your dreams will be safe and nightmare-free.
Scorpio
You should watch Saw X (2023), in theaters or premium streaming rentals.
You want something scary, and you want something you’ve never seen before. Then head to the movie theater for the next installment of the Saw franchise. Will it add to the convoluted plot that weaves them all together? Of course, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Sagittarius
You should watch Casper (1995) on Netflix.
You’d rather have fun rather than terrorizing yourself with a bunch of jump scares. Watch as Christina Ricci and her medium father move into an old mansion to cleanse it of ghosts. And remember what it was like to be a kid and fall in love with Devon Sawa as the human version of Casper.
Capricorn
You should watch Interview with the Vampire (1994) on Hulu.
You don’t want to watch something super scary, but you also don’t want a family movie or a comedy, either. That’s where Interview with the Vampire comes in. It’s all about the lives of vampires that span centuries. It’s spooky, but it’s also sad, dramatic, and romantic–just what you’re looking for.
Aquarius
You should watch Annihilation (2018) on Paramount+.
You’re not really interested in a simple story with cheap thrills and gratuitous gore. Annihilation is perfect for you, then. It’s a sci-fi horror that will make you think and give you nightmares at the same time.
Pisces
You should watch the new Goosebumps series (2023 -) on Hulu or Disney+.
If you’re going to watch something scary, you’d prefer it be on the milder side. Reminisce with memories of reading Goosebumps books as a kid with Disney and Hulu’s new series. Plus, it features Justin Long, who’s practically become a scream queen at this point.
