Even though there are numerous streaming services for horror fans to choose from, the struggle is real to find quality horror movies to watch. If you are like me, then your appetite for consuming horror films far outpace the movies provided by Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Shudder.
For the past few months, I have been going through Tubi’s horror selection. Tubi is a streaming service based in California. Tubi launched in 2014. The streaming service is free but you will have to put up with a few ads here and there. They don’t seem to overdo it with the ads. And Tubi has some quality horror films in their selection.
In no particular order, here is a list of 20 horror movies to watch free on Tubi:
