Watch Friday the 13th and 24 More Fantastic Horror Movies for Free on Tubi
It might not be rare for the 13th day of the month to fall on a Friday (it happens 1-3 times a year), but it's still a great excuse to travel back in time 45 years to Camp Crystal Lake for one of the most famous horror movies of all time -- Friday the 13th.
The 1980 slasher film, featuring the tormented killer Jason Voorhees and his hapless camp counselor victims, was hated by critics yet loved by audiences. The horror franchise has spawned 11 sequels (so far) and transmuted a blood-soaked hockey mask into a sacred horror relic.
Top-tier streaming platforms like Netflix and Prime Video may offer the latest horror hits, but for the scariest films of the 20th century, it's hard to beat Tubi. You can watch everything from creepy classics like Night of the Living Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre to cult favorites like The Descent and Terrifier. Whether you're in the mood for a slow-burning psychological thriller or something blood-soaked and over-the-top, there's almost always something good on Tubi.
Tubi does have advertising breaks that increase in length as you progress through the movie, but they're not terrible, and they might give you a chance to catch your breath before the next scare hits. Check out our top 25 horror movies on Tubi right now.
