How to Find/Stream Horror Movies
This post won’t do you much good if you don’t have access to the movies! Since the only thing scarier than these horror movies is not being able to watch them, you need a safe and reliable way to stream your screams.
Long gone are the days when Netflix was your only streaming option. We now have thousands and thousands of movies at our fingertips, but all that choice makes it difficult to decide what to watch. Once you do make a decision, you’re left to figure out what streaming service you can actually watch it on. As remote workers, we’re often adding traveling in different countries to the mix of unpredictability.
One of our favourite tools for looking up movies is Just Watch. The website or app allows you to choose your location before searching for a movie or TV show. It shows streaming options as well as paid rental options, if they’re available. If you’re set on accessing your home streaming options, you can watch American Netflix and other streaming services using a VPN. Or there’s always physical media!
Don’t see one of your favourite horror movies on this list? Send us an email and we’ll be happy to make a game for you. Each of our drinking games is custom created. We watch and tally possible rules to create an ideal drinking game that’s consistent and reliable. Cheers!
