If you’re looking for some horror films to watch this holiday season, the Paramount Network and its streaming platform, Paramount+, have a mix of classics and recent franchise installments. Every film was released at the beginning of December with no new announcements planned (so far), so they’re an excellent addition to your end-of-year Yuletide terror list.

Paramount+ is thinking about more new shows from Taylor Sheridan. They’re producing a show that stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren called 1932, which takes place in an Old West ghost town. However, we have been waiting for a series like this to come out–with cowboys! Hopefully the powers-that-be over at Paramount+ will be a little less picky with its genre requests if it comes to our preferred type of television show.

There are some good movies and TV shows coming out this month, including three hidden gems. In the following article, you’ll discover a horror movie from the ’60s, a remake from the ’90s, and an action movie from the late 2000s.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

Robert De Niro‘s performance as The Creature made Kenneth Branagh’s 1994 adaptation of Frankenstein feel out-of-place and too modern for the story. Branagh seemed to be going for a Shakespearean version of Shelley’s novel, and in some scenes it felt like he had a lot of unnecessary and vague shots.

Stricken with guilt and self-doubt, the creature pursues his creator and Michael’s family. There are hints of existential crisis present in this film which are more aligned with Shelley’s original text than her husband’s edits which only added more confusion in dialogue.

This is a film I’ll be sure to watch on Paramount+, then give it another chance. (Right after I watch the new episode of Tulsa King starring Sylvester Stallone, of course.) The streamer also premieres Branagh’s solid, horror-adjacent psychological thriller Dead Again. That film features Emma Thompson back when the two performers were a real-life couple.

Rosemary’s Baby

Frank Sinatra’s 1968 film The Detective originally had Mia Farrow as its leading lady, but when the shoot for Rosemary’s Baby ran over schedule, she was forced to be in the role that would make her a star.

Rosemary’s Baby is a demonic tale and psychological thriller about a pregnant woman. It is revealing and introspective and a must see, or read, for anyone who has ever found themselves in a horror movie.

Hopefully, a new generation of viewers will finally be able to find out what’s lurking deep inside that baby’s cradle. By scrolling through titles on Paramount+, some may find themselves watching a true horror landmark that shaped future movies.

If you’ve seen it before, watch it again!

The Cave

Cole Hauser’s portrayal of the rough-and-tumble Rip Wheeler on Yellowstone is one of the best characters on television. In 2005’s The Cave, he played a large role in his first film as a daredevil deep sea diver and spelunker named Jack McAllister.

The 2004 monster romp revolves around a failed adventure to explore forgotten tunnel systems. Naturally, everyone has to go and trek to the bottom to see what’s down there. Grab your microwave popcorn, prop your feet up, and jump into this ridiculously entertaining story from the mid 2000s.

Found Footage, Stephen King, Michael Myers, and Jason Voorhees

What else will Paramount+ subscribers be able to watch in December? Before the release of The Batman, Matt Reeves directed the Kaiju-inspired found footage thriller Cloverfield. Produced by J.J. Abrams, the shaky-cam disaster epic made people sick in theaters way before Terrifier 2. Now that Cloverfield is on a smaller screen, it should help your stomach feel better when you start watching.

One of the best Stephen King adaptations not directed by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Mist) is now on Paramount+ too. 1989’s Pet Sematary is a tragic cautionary tale about a family who loses their cat. Then, they lose their kid who comes back as an undead problem child wielding a sharp razor. Start humming “My Pariffeti Boy” from the Ramones again on your ill-conceived hike to that ominous Indian burial ground.

In the post- Scream horror movie, Halloween H20, we are introduced to Michael Myers. You can revisit the curse of Thorn (if you dare) in Halloween VI: The Curse Of Michael Myers starring Paul Rudd as Tommy Doyle. The version on Paramount+ will not be the famed Producer’s Cut because it won’t have some gruesome scenes like the Producer’s Cut has.

I thought Friday the 13th would be available on this platform, too, but I was mistaken. The original is the only title available on Paramount+ right now. Previously, Part II and III were available, but now it doesn’t look like Part VI: Jason Lives will be joining them anytime soon (Jason X still hasn’t made its way onto streaming services).

It also seems like a few previously unavailable Screen Gems titles are now available on the new streamer.

The following is a list of all new content available on Paramount+.
