I've said it plenty of times before and I'm sure that I will say it again plenty of times in the future, but Netflix is kind of a barren landscape when it comes to (quality) horror movies. That said, I know that I seem to find myself constantly scrolling through the horror section of my account looking for new films to watch on a rainy afternoon. And thus we wanted to make sure to share with you guys today a list of all the horror movies set to hit Netflix this July.
It's not a bad selection to be honest, with such quality flicks as Wes Craven's SCREAM 4, SCOOBY-DOO and SCOOBY-DOO 2: MONSTERS UNLEASHED (for the kiddos), INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, and the JURASSIC PARK trilogy to boot. On top of that, it looks like Ben Young's (HOUNDS OF LOVE) delayed alien-invasion flick EXTINCTION starring Michael Pena and Lizzy Caplan will finally be available to the public on July 15th.
You can check out the full list of horror movies coming to Netflix in July below. And then make sure to start adding them to your queue. Enjoy!
