Paramount+ Streaming Best Horror Movies Ahead of 2026 Reboot
to the premiere of Tulsa King Season 3 join Paramount+. As fans of an iconic horror franchise await the anticipated new installment next year, Paramount+ is now also streaming three of the best movies from the film series.
If you’re a fan of horror and comedy, you’ll be excited to know that Paramount+ started streaming the first three Scary Movie films on September 1st. These iconic horror comedy films, led by Anna Faris as Cindy Campbell and Regina Hall as Brenda Meeks, bring a unique twist to popular horror movies by parodying them. Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans and written by Marlon and Shawn Wayans, the first two movies spoof films like Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Halloween. Scary Movie 3, the first without the Wayans Brothers’ involvement, pokes fun at movies like The Ring and Signs. While Scary Movie 4 and Scary Movie 5 are not available on Paramount+, you can watch them for free on Tubi.
The Scary Movie films are a blend of horror and humor at their best with meta-humor that mixes scares and laughs. These movies poke fun at horror tropes and conventions while keeping viewers invested in the story. Although the quality of the films may have varied in later installments, the earlier ones were a mainstream and commercial success, making the franchise a cultural phenomenon that is still loved today.
These three Scary Movie films streaming on Paramount+ are perfect for Halloween movie marathons. Plus, they’re a great lead-up to the release of Scary Movie 6 on June 12, 2026, where Faris and Hall will make a comeback. While plot details are still under wraps, Marlon Wayans mentioned that the film might spoof recent horror hits like Heretic, Longlegs, and Get Out.
But that’s not all – Paramount+ has added more horror titles to its lineup this September. Along with the Scary Movie films, you can also stream movies like I Know What You Did Last Summer, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, The Ring, and more. So, if you’re a horror movie fan, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from on Paramount+.
