Are The Halloween Movies On Netflix, Prime, Or Hulu? Where To Watch Online
Matthew Barrera The Halloween franchise currently consists of 11 movie installments, including a remake and reboot. Here's where viewers can watch them all online.
The Halloween movie franchise is one of the most iconic horror series of all time, but viewers will have trouble finding the installments on popular streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu. Created by John Carpenter, the slasher series first debuted in 1978 and primarily followed psychotic killer Michael Myers. Also referred to as "The Shape," Michael carried out various attacks on his hometown of Haddonfield. Innocent babysitter Laurie Strode, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, got swept up into the terror, which essentially made her one of the first "Final Girls" in movie history.
To date, 11 Halloween movies have been released, including a remake and a reboot. For the majority of the franchise, Michael Myers served as the antagonist, stalking in the shadows before hunting down his prey. While details regarding his motives changed from time to time, one aspect remained clear: the Shape was a force to be reckoned with. Michael Myers acquired a very high kill count since his late '70s introduction, and he continues serving as a terrifying figure throughout pop culture.
In 2018, Blumhouse set out to reboot the horror franchise with director David Gordon Green. As the series enters a new chapter by expanding on the history between Michael and Laurie, fans are gearing up for at least two more sequels. Halloween Kills is set for a 2021 release while Halloween Ends is scheduled to conclude the new trilogy in 2022. For now, there are almost a dozen other installments to enjoy, and here's where they can all be viewed online.
How To Watch The Original Halloween Online
Carpenter's original Halloween film from 1978 still reigns supreme in the eyes of many horror fanatics. The movie that introduced Michael Myers as a blood-thirsty hunter is an absolute classic. Unfortunately, the installment that launched the franchise isn't available from any of the most popular streaming services. It is, however, streaming for subscribers of AMC+, Hoopla, Shudder, and Indieflix, and can be streamed for free with ads on Roku and Redbox. The movie can also be rented on iTunes, Vudu, or Redbox for $3.99. Those sites also offer a buying option for $9.99.
How To Watch Halloween 2 Online
Michael Myers continued wreaking havoc on Haddonfield by targeting Laurie Strode in the 1981 sequel, Halloween II. Like its predecessor, the movie isn't streaming on Netflix, Prime, or Hulu, and sadly it can't be found on any subscription or free with ads service. Halloween II does have plenty of renting options for $3.99 on services like iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, Vudu, Redbox, and the Microsoft Store.
