Tubi Launches Huge New Year-Round Horror Destination

Halloween may still be the busiest season for horror, but Tubi has decided its viewers clearly have no intention of packing the genre away with the pumpkins. After audiences clocked up more than 53 million hours of horror viewing on the platform every month, the streamer is turning its previously seasonal Terror on Tubi promotion into a permanent year-round destination dedicated to everything from slashers and supernatural thrillers to cult favourites, original films and creator-led series.

The newly expanded Terror on Tubi Hub brings together more than 13,000 hours of horror programming, giving viewers a central destination to move between established genre hits, lesser-known discoveries and Tubi’s growing catalogue of original productions.

Tubi says the collections within the hub will change throughout the year rather than remaining tied to Halloween, with programming tailored to different corners of horror and designed to encourage viewers to dig deeper into the platform’s catalogue.

“Horror isn’t seasonal. For millions of fans, it’s their version of comfort viewing: something they return to ritualistically all year round,” said Tubi Chief Content Officer Adam Lewinson. “We custom-built Terror on Tubi to give that fandom a home so they can indulge in what they already love and then follow the rabbit hole to discover something unexpected.”

The move comes as Tubi continues to increase its own horror output. More than 50 Tubi Original horror films are currently available on the service, including R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead, Stepfather, Match, Please Don’t Feed the Children and Hive.

That line-up will grow further this autumn with the arrival of Buzzkill, a slasher comedy built around a particularly inconvenient survival mechanism. Siena Agudong stars as Nora, a sorority sister who discovers that getting increasingly drunk somehow helps her recover memories containing clues to the identity of the killer murdering her friends.

Brec Bassinger and Aliyah’s Interlude also star, with Suzanne Keilly writing and Jem Garrard directing.

Garrard will additionally return to write and direct R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead 2, which continues the story with a new curse threatening the town of Redhaven. Sam and Becka are forced back into action when the creature’s influence resurfaces and begins putting the entire community at risk.

Tubi is also putting greater emphasis on horror created specifically for online audiences. Upcoming creator-led programming includes Carter’s Haunted House, following the construction and execution of an elaborate haunted attraction, and Creepers, a post-apocalyptic series in which radiation is transforming teenagers into dangerous creatures that can remain hidden among their surviving friends.

Elsewhere, Unlikely Co-Hosts will see paranormal investigator Kelsi Davies explore reportedly haunted locations alongside guests ranging from voice actors and WWE stars to other paranormal personalities.

The Try Guys will take their own sceptical approach to supernatural investigation in Ghost Hunting, while Unlisted follows four fading content creators who livestream their search for a missing YouTuber connected to a mysterious conspiracy video, only to find considerably more than they expected in the woods.

Alongside those newer projects, Terror on Tubi will retain a sizeable catalogue of recognisable horror titles. Autumn selections include 28 Weeks Later, Event Horizon, The Faculty, From Dusk Till Dawn, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Pet Sematary, Queen of the Damned, Slender Man and anthology favourite Tales from the Hood.

Classic younger-skewing horror will also be represented through Are You Afraid of the Dark?, extending the hub beyond feature films into genre television.

Rather than rolling out identical programming everywhere, Tubi plans to tailor Terror on Tubi for individual international markets. The permanent hub is expanding across the UK, Canada, Australia, Mexico and Latin America, with each territory receiving horror selections designed around regional viewing tastes.

It is a move that reflects just how firmly horror has established itself within streaming culture. More than 53 million hours watched each month represents an audience far beyond the traditional October surge, and Tubi is betting that those viewers want somewhere to keep exploring once Halloween decorations have disappeared.

The Terror on Tubi Hub is available across Tubi on web, mobile and connected devices. For more information, visit: tubitv.com
