For on-demand viewers, Pluto will be offering hubs dedicated to the greatest spooky hits of each decade: “2000s Horror + Thriller Movies,” where fans can tune in to everything from Tim Burton‘s Sweeney Todd to the Underworld films; “’90s Horror + Thriller Movies,” which includes the era’s teen slasher favorites like Urban Legend and Scream, as well as more sophisticated fare, like the 1994 Robert De Niro vehicle Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; “’80s Horror + Thriller Movies,” which will include family favorites like Monster Squad alongside gory classics like Sleepaway Camp; and “’70s Horror + Thriller Movies,” which is packed with classics like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Rosemary’s Baby, Black Christmas, and much more.

Pluto has also created a channel dedicated entirely to Stephen King, featuring films like Pet Sematary and other adaptations that helped define what modern horror looks like.
