Perhaps Universal’s most renowned contributions to cinema lie in their horror library. Frankenstein, Dracula, The Invisible Man, if you can name it they probably made it. But until now, that awesome catalogue was unavailable to view in one place. Sounds like the grousing of a spoilt millennial, I know. The fact is that we’ve all become accustomed to having content at our fingertips. Praise be then that a streaming service has today launched to fulfil that demand. Peacock brings Universal’s esteemed horror collection to the masses.
Unlike its rivals, the service has both a paid-for package and a free one (though you’ll have to contend with adverts). Why not take a look at all the horror films currently available for free, though? Trick question, as there’s no reason why not to. That’s why all the horror films currently available for free are listed below.

I made a joke only yesterday about how oversaturated the streaming market has become (admittedly more of an observation than a joke). Now, you can add another name to the roll call. Let’s see: Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Prime, CBS All Access, and now Peacock. Could also throw in Britbox and ESPN+ if you want. As far as I can tell, the only major studio yet to join the party is Sony. Right, that’s enough non-punditry on the subject of streamers for one day.
Let’s get back to the movies. Namely, are you thinking of checking any of them out? Drop a comment below with those you’re most looking forward to. It looks a treat for anyone hoping to get into horror, though I have no idea what Sharknado: Heart of Sharkness is doing on there. Perhaps not the best place to start.
