Regardless, of all the major streamers, Max likely has the horror library most focused on what you’d call older “classics,” rather than newer releases-fine with us, considering that segment tends to be less well represented. There are also indie gems like We’re All Going to the World’s Fair.

There are strange, foundational early horror films, such as Haxan or Vampyr, along with classics of world cinema like Japan’s Kwaidan, Onibaba and House. That makes for an interesting horror library indeed, one that balances total schlock from Roger Corman with acclaimed works by the likes of Guillermo Del Toro and Stanley Kubrick. Rather, almost everything here received a wide release at some point. That’s because unlike the horror selections of Netflix, Hulu or (especially) Amazon Prime, the bulk of the selections here aren’t made up of modern, straight-to-VOD, zero-budget productions with vague, one-word titles like Desolation or Satanic. The overall scope of the service might not be quite as broad as something like Netflix, but you’re likely to have heard of far more of these films. The first thing one notices, looking at the horror genre as it exists on Max (formerly HBO Max), is that there’s an unusual level of genuine curation involved here.
