31 Sexy Horror Movies To Watch On Netflix When The Mood Strikes

Get ready for serious chills.

If you want to get your heart racing for more than one reason, then watch a scary movie with some racy scenes in it. As the sexy horror movies on Netflix prove, these two elements go together quite well. Hey, you aren’t the first person to have a little crush on Jason Voorhees.

And because horror has about a zillion different sub-genres, there’s a little something for everyone. Do you like throwback teen scream slasher flicks? Try The Babysitter or Prom Night, which feature young adults desperately trying to escape a mysterious killer (or killers). If gripping psychological dramas are more your speed, then there’s Secret Obsession or Things Seen & Heard, which concern the secrets that can rot away a seemingly perfect relationship. And lastly, for based-on-a-true story thrillers, consider Adrift or The Strangers, where simply surviving nature (or a group of mysterious intruders) is the entire story. Oh, and don’t forget about the whole sex aspect. For some films, such as Cam, the sexy parts are all front-and-center, whereas other films are a little more subdued with the eroticism. (And some films made the list simply because the lead actors are total smokeshows.) Whether the horror elements are based in reality, psychology, or the supernatural, these sexy-scary Netflix movies are well worth a watch.
