Netflix’s DVD rental service in the United States is home to hundreds of thousands of titles. At this time of year, they no doubt see an influx of people wanting to rent popular horror titles for Halloween, but what are the most popular? 

The brilliant team at Netflix’s DVD.com have provided us with three lots of data for their most rented horror titles. These lists look through all of the “most shipped” titles of all time.

One walks us through the most shipped horror movies of all time.

Another walks us through which classic horror movies are the most popular, and finally, they’ve given us a collection of the most rented monster movies.

Netflix’s DVD division is perhaps overshadowed compared to the global streaming service (the DVD rental service only operates in the US). Still, it recently celebrated its 25th anniversary and remains an excellent companion service to Netflix.

Want to see more lists of what other Netflix DVD members are renting? Earlier in the year, we revealed what the most popular movies so far in 2022 were and the most rented in 2021 too.
