3 horror movies on Freevee you should watch this Halloween

While Amazon Freevee does have an impressive lineup of action movies and dramas, its horror lineup is largely underwhelming. Who knew that Gingerdead Man vs. Evil Bong was a real movie? Or that Evil Bong had at least two movies of her own, both of which are on Freevee if you dare to watch them.

Those aren’t the kind of titles that we’ll ever recommend here at DT. Instead, we’ve chosen one of the most influential horror films of all time, Daniel Radcliffe’s escape from the shadow of Harry Potter, and the beginning of a modern werewolf trilogy. These are the three horror movies on Freevee that you should watch in October.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is what you might call “the granddaddy of slasher movies.” A lot of the modern horror tropes started here. In the summer of 1973, Sally Hardesty (Marilyn Burns), her brother, Franklin (Paul A. Partain), and their friends Jerry (Allen Danziger), Pam (Teri McMinn), and Kirk (William Vail) take an off-road trip to terror when they encounter Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen) and his deranged family of cannibals.

Some of Sally’s friends are lucky enough to die quickly rather than endure torture at the hands of Leatherface’s family. As for Sally herself, she needs to find a way to escape, or else her friends’ fates may seem preferable to her own.

Horns (2013)

Daniel Radcliffe was looking for a way to separate himself from his Harry Potter persona, and he found it in Horns. In this adaptation of Joe Hill’s original story, Radcliffe plays Ignatius “Ig” Perrish, a man accused of raping and killing the love of his life, Merrin Williams (Juno Temple). Even Ig’s family treats him like he’s guilty. But Ig’s life takes a turn for the bizarre when he wakes up with horns growing out of his head that give him supernatural abilities.

Ig uses the horns to make people give up their secrets, but it proves ineffective on his childhood friend, Lee Tourneau (Max Minghella), who can’t even see that Ig has horns. For everyone else, Ig’s powers are absolute. However, in his quest for revenge, Ig is losing his humanity and becoming something far more demonic.

Ginger Snaps (2000)

The Ginger Snaps trilogy has proven to be popular among fans of the werewolf subgenre in horror. Of the three, the first film remains the best. Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) and her sister, Brigitte (Emily Perkins), are inseparable best friends in high school. Or at least they were until Ginger was bitten by a werewolf, which in turn triggered her own transformation into something more than human.

No matter how much Brigitte loves her sister, she’s powerless to stop Ginger from embracing her werewolf powers and newfound depravity. Even the sisters’ mutual friend, Sam (Kris Lemche), can’t help Brigitte when Ginger’s behavior turns lethal. And only one sister can survive their inevitable confrontation.

There have been some action films that double as love stories, but fans sometimes seem to forget that love is also the primary motivating factor in several action flicks.

We'd be here all day if we had to keep coming up with examples of this trope.

Since it's February, all three of our picks for the three action movies on Hulu that you need to watch this month revolve around love in some way. Only the third film on our list counts as a romance story, but it's also got some of the most over-the-top action.

Dredd (2012)

Fans of The Raid: Redemption will recognize a lot in Dredd, the 2012 adaptation of one of the United Kingdom's most popular comic book icons. Judge Dredd (The Boys' Karl Urban) may look like a hero, but he's an authoritarian with a badge who offers little flexibility while serving as judge, jury, and executioner on the dangerous streets of Mega-City One in the future.
Dredd's temporary partner, Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), will be by his side for the duration of her evaluation as a judge. Cassandra will get her test by fire when she and Dredd are locked in a sprawling apartment complex filled with criminals who are out to kill them.

3 great action movies on Tubi you need to watch in February 2025
The cast of Predator poses with their guns in the jungle.

By now, you should know that Tubi is one of the premier FAST services on the market. Don't let the "free ad-supported streaming" moniker scare you away. There are no hidden fees at sign-up. The only catch is ads play during your feature presentation. Think of it like commercials on cable TV. Honestly, it's a solid trade-off for a good service.
Tubi's lineup continues to improve each month. Some standout titles in February include Dune, Denis Villeneuve's first movie of a two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel; Easy A, Emma Stone's hilarious teen comedy; and Licorice Pizza, Paul Thomas Anderson's sweet coming-of-age tale. This article is catered toward action fans, and our picks below are three stone-cold classics.

The Terminator (1984)

"I'll be back." 40 years later, that phrase from The Terminator still has a stranglehold on pop culture. Those three words were uttered by Arnold Schwarzenegger's titular Terminator, a cyborg assassin sent from 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), whose unborn son will one day lead the human resistance against machines.
