Halloween is just around the corner, but we're celebrating spooky season a little differently this year by bringing you the best scary movies on streaming every week until the end of October. Each week is themed. Last week, we played a little game of horror classics v remakes, and let you decide whether you prefer the OGs or newbies. The week before, we listed the scariest Stephen King horror movies on the web. But this week we're taking a look at the best horror movies released a little more recently.
Before we get into the top-notch titles the horror genre has offered in the last 18 months, we must note that we are only counting down the flicks that are readily available on streaming sites. To make this list, each horror movie must be ready to stream both in the US and in the UK, so you can enjoy your movie marathon without having to buy or rent anything. Sadly, that means that you won't find Hokum, Obsession, Backrooms, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, or Faces of Death on this list.
But don't worry, we have found plenty of fresh frights, some of which you may have missed over the past year or so. We've got Sam Raimi's first horror movie in years, down to an experimental A24 flick that messes with your senses. So what are you waiting for? Grab that trick-or-treat candy you were saving for the big night and settle in for an evening of thrills and chills. Afterward, you can look through our guide to the best horror movies on Netflix to add to your watchlist.

If you're tired of the same old jump scares and are looking to bite into something a little different this Halloween, then why not start with Undertone. This A24 movie completely throws your senses for a loop, using clever audio to make you feel as though you are part of the story. The movie follows Evy, the co-host of a paranormal podcast who is simultaneously looking after her dying mother. One night, Evy dives into a new case sent from an anonymous follower. But as she opens each file and listens to the contents, the terrifying recordings soon begin to merge with her own reality.
When Evy puts her noise-cancelling headphones on, the audio dramatically shifts, making you feel claustrophobic and unable to ignore the intense sounds pouring through the speakers. If you have ever listened to one of those creepy 4D audio videos online, then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Watching this movie in cinemas earlier this year was a truly unique event, but you can duplicate the experience using surround sound and turning up your TV extra loud, if you dare.

This year, horror legend Sam Raimi returned to the genre and released his first scary movie in 17 years. The Evil Dead helmer hadn't directed a horror movie since 2009's Drag Me to Hell, so genre fans were obviously extremely keen to see what he had in store with Send Help. Was it worth the wait? We think yes! The movie follows Rachel McAdams' awkward and underappreciated employee Linda Liddle, who struggles to get along with her new, young boss Bradley (Dylan O'Brien). But, in a bid to prove herself, she agrees to accompany him on a business trip, which ends in disaster when the plane crashes onto a desert island.
