6 Horror Movies on Netflix Outside the US: Checked Catalog Differences for Halloween
From The Babadook in Canada to The Conjuring in France, these six checked examples show why American Netflix lists do not describe every country’s Halloween lineup.
The Babadook, Midsommar and Halloween Kills are examples of horror movies listed on Netflix in selected countries but absent from Netflix US in our October 23, 2026 snapshot. That does not necessarily make them unavailable in America: some have US offers through other services. The useful question is both “which country?” and “which subscription?”
We checked each film’s country-by-country subscription map using JustWatch availability supplied through TMDB. Each example below had a Netflix subscription entry in the named overseas country and no Netflix entry in the US map at the research time. This is a six-film editorial comparison, not a complete inventory of Netflix horror or a prediction of Halloween-day rights.
The Babadook (2014): Netflix in Canada
94 minutes. A mother and child encounter a frightening presence in this grief-centered horror story. The checked Canadian map lists Netflix. The US map instead lists offers including Shudder and AMC+, alongside separate ad-supported options. If a Canadian friend recommends it “on Netflix,” their answer can be correct for them. Check The Babadook.
Midsommar (2019): Netflix in Canada
147 minutes. A trip to a Swedish festival becomes a sustained folk-horror ordeal. Netflix appears in the Canadian map, while Prime Video, Hulu and HBO Max appear among US subscription listings. Choose it when you have time for a long watch and are comfortable with graphic material. Check Midsommar.
