A Hoopla/Kanopy Halloween

Halloween is here and it is on a weekend! You know what that means, right? Horror movie binge weekend! We're not fooling around with this list. We're down to the wire. I've seen every flick I'm posting here and I don't think any of them are a waste of your time. Each title box links to the film on either Hoopla or Kanopy. (Big title boxes are available from Hoopla and the small title boxes are available from Kanopy.) Some are scary, some are funny, some are pretty strange, but all are perfect for a weekend Halloween horror binge.  Happy Halloween!

Here are some of the weirdest horror flicks I could find while sweeping through KANOPY. These are mostly on the fringe, cult films. Some were very popular when they were first released years ago and some have only become popular in recent years. If you are in the mood for weird, there may be a couple titles on this list you’d like to scope out from Kanopy.

Halloween Starts Early on Hoopla!

Finally, October! Rocktober! Shocktober! Time for my first list of horror titles for the season. Here are thirteen horror flicks I found on Hoopla to help get you in the mood for ghosts, witches, vampires and ghouls. They are some of the kookiest, spookiest flicks I could find that span from the Fabulous '50s all the way to the Terrific '20s. This is just a little of what Halloween 2021 offers for horror and chills.
