It's officially October, which means it's the best time of year to hunker down and have yourself a horror movie marathon. While you could just watch a bunch of horror classics , if you're looking for a binge with a bit more continuity, you won't find more long-running franchises to work through than in the slasher genre. We've gathered some of the most popular horror movie franchises below as a starting point for what's on offer.
So grab your popcorn, turn off the lights, and get ready to count how many kills you can keep track of. Jason Voorhees is one of the most iconic horror villains , and the Friday the 13th movies he originates from are some of the best slashers ever made. The original Friday the 13th movie was released in 1980, and as of 2024, there are 12 movies in the franchise, including one where Jason goes to space for some reason.
If you're looking to watch all of the Friday the 13th movies in order , it will take you a little under 17 hours . If you're determined enough, that's possible in a single weekend. The Conjuring universe is surprisingly large, and if you’re just entering the series for the first time, it can be a pretty confusing timeline .
There are a total of 9 movies you can watch right now, including The Conjuring, Annabelle, and The Nun films. A fourth and final Conjuring movie is hitting theaters next year. If you include all nine movies and the five shorts in your streaming marathon, you can potentially watch all of the Conjuring movies in just.
