Horror franchises to stream on Peacock right now
Friday the 13th
In honor of the Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake premiering on Peacock in October 2026, you should have a full-blown Jason Voorhees marathon. Thankfully, Peacock has you covered there, with the first three films of the iconic franchise all available to watch on the platform.

Paranormal Activity
The first three Paranormal Activity films are available to stream on Peacock. Found footage as a genre first became widely known after the 1999 release of The Blair Witch Project. But 2007's Paranormal Activity made mockumentary horror a full-blown phenomenon. Re-live these supernatural spooks this Halloween, but remember that it's all fake — even though it seems so real.

Terrifier
Art the Clown is certainly not for the faint of heart. The murderous clown film franchise has gained a cult following thanks to its seriously ghastly kills that take gore to the next level. Proceed with caution.

The Purge
The first Purge film in 2013 offered an interesting premise. For one night a year, all crime — including murder — is legal. This unleashes a barrage of people onto the streets who want to commit some heinous acts, but what about the folks who just want to survive the night?

Scream
Ghostface became an icon after the release of 1996's Scream. That film has led to one of the most groundbreaking horror franchises in history, both for its literal scares and subversion of everything we know about scary movies.

Halloween
It wouldn’t be Halloween without, well, Halloween. This year, you can dive into some classic movies from the series. There’s 1981’s Halloween II, which introduces the plot point of Michael Myers being Laurie Strode’s brother. There’s Halloween III: Season of the Witch, which treats the franchise as an anthology and offers a completely new story about a mass-murdering mask maker. You can also watch 2018’s Halloween, which ignores every sequel after the first one, meaning Michael and Laurie aren’t related. That one is notable for having Jamie Lee Curtis returning as an older Laurie Strode still living with the trauma of her first encounter with Michael. Meanwhile, the 2007 remake of Halloween is also available on Peacock, as is the 2009 remake of Halloween II. And if you're really in the mood to go down the Michael Myers rabbit hole, then stream 2021's Halloween Kills. (Both the standard release and extended cut are on Peacock, too.)
