Max is a hot destination because of The White Lotus season 3, and you should stick around to view its horror movie selection.
The streamer hosts a variety of scary flicks, from classics like David Lynch’s Eraserhead to newer chillers like the clown flick It. The options change often, so if you aren’t feeling Max’s spooky offerings, it’s worth swinging by a different month.
Max starts at $10 per month or $100 per year, and you can also get the streamer free with a Doordash DashPass annual plan. Here are seven standout horror movies on Max — all these films received generally favorable reviews or better, according to Metacritic.

When this adaptation of the classic Stephen King novel hit theaters in 2017, it had moviegoers like me looking twice at storm drains and dreading red balloons. With a cast of intrepid kids and a lot of heart, it makes a compelling case for more supernatural coming-of-age stories. And a strong case against clowns.
