Netflix: Best Guilty Pleasure Horror Movies

House On Haunted Hill

House On Haunted Hill is a remake of the 1959 film. A group of people are invited to spend the night at an old mansion. They soon learn that if they can make it through the entire night and see the morning, they will win $1 million.

Stay Alive

Stay Alive tells the story of characters who die after playing a video game, and it's definitely a campy and fun movie that isn't amazing but provides entertainment. 

Cabin Fever

Eli Roth's 2003 horror movie Cabin Fever can be a guilty pleasure as it's a story of friends going away together and becoming infected with a flesh-eating virus. The 2016 remake can also be a guilty pleasure, perhaps even more so.

Leprechaun

Stay Alive tells the story of characters who die after playing a video game, and it's definitely a campy and fun movie that isn't amazing but provides entertainment. 

Sorority Row

There are great horror movies about high school, but there are just a few about college, and Sorority Row turns the bonding experience of belonging to a group into a nightmare. When a group of sorority members help Megan pretend to die, so she can upset her boyfriend, another character actually murders her, and everyone has to scramble to keep this secret.

Silent Hill

Silent Hill has a lot of positive aspects that horror fans love: a main character with a real motivation and a setting that couldn't give audiences more shivers. 

Halloween III: Season Of The Witch

While the first Halloween movie is always beloved, Redditor EvitaPuppy mentioned that they love Halloween III. The fan wrote, "It's the one everyone hates because there is no Michael Myers. I thought the idea of the creepy masks, the TV ads, and robots made it a pretty fun flick."

House Of Wax

A cheesy 2000s horror movie that has a recognizable cast, including Paris Hilton, House Of Wax tells an entertaining story about friends who realize that a wax museum is actually evil and can turn people into wax.

Book Of Shadows: Blair Witch 2

The Blair Witch Project is one of the best found footage movies but the sequel isn't talked about that much. In the movie, people who loved Blair Witch begin looking into the situation themselves and become terrified by what they find out.

When A Stranger Call

A horror movie about a babysitter alone in a house while getting awful phone calls has been done a few times. But while the 1979 movie that kicked off this premise is great, the remake definitely leaves a lot to be desired. 

Urban Legend

The first movie, from 1998, focuses on Natalie Simon, a college student who is terrified when her peers keep getting killed off. She realizes that the killer is murdering people just like the famous urban legends that people have been sharing with each other for decades. 

Ghost Ship

Ghost Ship isn't critically acclaimed and feels cheesy, but that's the point and the fun of it, which is what makes it such a good guilty pleasure pick. The movie tells the story of a crew working on a ship in 1962 and as is suggested by the film's title, they learn that there's a supernatural presence there, too.

The Happening

The Happening might not always seem logical and the characters might not be as interesting as those in some other horror films, but that's what makes it a purely entertaining watch.

Idle Hand

Horror fans remember the story of Anton Tobias, a character who loves getting stoned and who doesn't take life too seriously. When a demon takes over one of his hands, Anton's life is altered, and he's incredibly confused by what's going on.

Darkness Fall

If horror audiences are curious about what happens when the tooth fairy is evil, then Darkness Falls is a good pick. The alarming figure is cursed and the main characters, Caitlin Greene and Kyle Walsh, work together to figure out what's going on.
