Halloween always seems to come and go. Knowing that retail stores and the like will quickly fill up with wintertime holiday decorations,horrorfans may find themselves wishing the spooky season could last for just a little while longer. Thankfully, there’s plenty to look forward to in terms of horror offerings onTubi. While other streaming services are shedding dozens upon dozens of horror films, Tubi’s explosive content batch for November is bringing some of the best horror films ever made.
For your convenience, we’ve highlighted some notable names from the slew of horror titles hitting Tubi in November. You may be surprised to see just how many iconic horror titles are hitting this streamer all at once. All titles will be available to watch as early as Nov 1 unless stated otherwise.
The Thing (1982)
John Carpenter’sThe Thinggets top billing from us, and once you see it for yourself, you’ll understand why. A remake of the 1951 filmThe Thing from Another World,The Thingsees an Antarctic research base under siege by a horrifying alien monstrosity. Kurt Russell and a band of American researchers are tasked with surviving an onslaught from an unstoppable creature that can not only shift into any organic form but also absorb and replicate the bodies and personalities of those it consumes.
Though it was devastated by critics during its initial release,The Thinghas since been reappraised as one of thegreatest science-fiction horror filmsever made. Its bleak atmosphere, depressing ending, and reliance on practical effects are all incredible qualities when you consider its 1982 release date. Some would even considerThe Thingto be second only toHalloweenin terms of John Carpenter’s greatest films. The 2011 remake of the same name will also be hitting Tubi at the same time.
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Halloween III: Season of the Witch
ThoughHalloween IIis also heading to Tubi around the same time, the oft-forgotten third entry in the Halloween franchise,Halloween III: Season of the Witch, is one that you have to experience at least once. This third film doesn’t feature an ounce of Michael Meyers. Instead, we focus on a bizarrely terrifying story surrounding cheap Halloween masks, mysterious deaths, and shady dealings going on at the Silver Shamrock company. The change in focus is largely attributed to an experiment in theHalloweenfranchise, where instead of seeing the same villain returning in every film, it would instead pivot into being a Halloween-centric anthology series.
Once you get past theabsence of Michael Meyers, what you have is a surprisingly pulpy story with one of the most horrifyingly ominous endings in history. Tom Atkins plays a compelling lead, and several gnarly kills can be found throughout. Mix that with an infectiously addictive commercial jingle, and you end up withSeason of the Witchbeing one of the most polarizing but mesmerizing entries in John Carpenter’s legendary series.
Silent Hill (2006)
Silent Hill
Unable to accept the fact that her daughter is dying, Rose (Radha Mitchell) decides to take the girl to a faith healer. On the way, the pair drive through a portal in reality, leading to an eerie town called Silent Hill. The town is surrounded by a potent darkness, and the human survivors fight a losing battle against it.
Now that a rebooted film,Return to Silent Hill, is well underway, there’s really no better time to revisit Christophe Gans' interpretation of Konami’sSilent Hill. This 2006 film partially adapts the events of the first game in the survival horror franchise, following a woman named Rose (Radha Mitchell) as she ventures into the titular picturesque town. With her daughter at her side, all seems to be going well until a car crash separates the two. In the ensuing search, Rose will discover the presence of a local cult that shines a perturbing light on the town’s connections to her past.
This 2006 film is still regarded as one of the best video game adaptations ever put to film, especially from an era where they all seemed to flop mercilessly at the box office. Praise for the film has been thoroughly lobbed at its accurate atmosphere and terrifying moments, which many felt captured the experience of exploring the town of Silent Hill. Gans has returned towrite and directReturn to Silent Hill, which is still currently in production.

K-Horror has a lot to offer horror fans who think they’ve seen it all.
Jason X (2001)
ThoughJason Xwas seen as the single worst film intheFriday the 13thfranchisefor the longest time, modern reappraisals have cited it as a hilariously self-aware climax to the long-running series. The film kicks off with Jason Voorhees finally being taken down via cryogenic stasis, all in a bid to study his body for his supernatural regenerative properties. His corpse is accidentally exhumed centuries later in the deep future, albeit in a state of disrepair. After breaking free from stasis, Jason finds himself taking up a futuristic-looking machete as he rips up a monolithic spaceship.
The idea of “Jason Voorhees in space” is so ridiculous the movie can’t help but be self-aware about it. Creative kills, self-referential jokes, and unexpected cameos line this unexpectedly fun-filled romp in outer space.

From man in a mask movies to zombie flicks, these are the best horror films Tubi has to offer.
Candyman (1992)
Candymanis one of the most unique horror films of the 1990s, combining elements of gothic horror with inspiration from one ofClive Barker’s short stories. Based on Barker’sThe Forbidden, this terrifying tale takes place in the middle of Chicago, focusing on a graduate student completing her college thesis on urban legends. When she stumbles across the legend of the “Candyman,” she’ll find herself battling the ghost of a tortured artist played by the cold and cunning Tony Todd.
Notable for its unique commentary, inventive setting, and achilling performance by Tony Todd, this 1992 classic would later receive a direct sequel in the form of 2021’sCandyman, which was co-written by Jordan Peele. The Candyman continues to be one of the most conceptually interesting villains to date. Just be sure not to say his name five times. . .
