High School Is Hell in 8 Horror Movies and Shows for Fans of The Body
Toxic friendships, supernatural secrets, and teenage drama with a deadly streak. Keep the scares going with horror movies and shows streaming free on Tubi.
High school horror has always understood one very important thing: teenagers can be absolutely terrifying, even before anyone develops supernatural powers. Popularity can be a blood sport (sometimes literally), friendships can collapse over a single secret, and the people running the school social hierarchy often make movie villains look rather reasonable. Add the fashion, flip phones, and wonderfully questionable decisions of the early 2000s, and you've got a genre that knows how to make adolescence feel like a full-blown nightmare.
Netflix's new series The Body is taking those teenage nightmares to another level. Premiering November 11, the eight-episode drama from creator Quinn Shephard follows a Catholic school dance team whose Halloween initiation goes horribly wrong, leaving the girls experiencing prophetic visions and their town descending into hysteria. Set in 2004, the series taps into the messy world of Y2K teen culture, where religious guilt, complicated friendships, and the pressure to fit in create plenty of trouble before anything supernatural enters the picture.
The best teen horror stories know that a dangerous secret can be just as terrifying as the monster hiding behind it. Tubi's Teenage Horror collection is packed with cult favorites, supernatural nightmares, and friendships that probably should've ended several group chats ago. The Horror selection has even more unsettling discoveries waiting beyond the classroom. These eight movies and shows give the usual teenage growing pains a terrifying upgrade, proving that adolescence and horror have always been a dangerously entertaining combination.
Forget detention. These kids have much bigger problems.
Ginger Snaps
Brigitte and Ginger Fitzgerald have always been inseparable, sharing a fascination with death and a mutual dislike of just about everyone at school. But growing up is about to become a much bloodier experience than either sister anticipated.
Sisterhood takes a monstrous turn in Ginger Snaps, where teenage outsiders Ginger and Brigitte find their carefully maintained world disrupted after Ginger is attacked by a mysterious creature. As her body begins changing in disturbing ways, Ginger develops new appetites, unpredictable behavior, and a confidence that leaves her younger sister struggling to recognize the person she once knew. Brigitte becomes determined to understand what's happening before Ginger's transformation puts them both in danger.
Puberty has never looked quite this horrifying. The film transforms the familiar anxieties of growing up into a grotesque supernatural nightmare, using Ginger's changing body and behavior to explore what happens when two sisters begin developing into very different people. Ginger's transformation might be supernatural, but Brigitte's struggle to keep up with a sister who's changing faster than she can understand feels painfully familiar.

Bit
Moving to Los Angeles is supposed to be an exciting fresh start. Laurel gets the sunshine, the nightlife, and a new group of friends who seem eager to welcome her into their circle. The only catch? They're vampires, and membership comes with a few rather serious conditions.
Transgender teenager Laurel, played by Nicole Maines, becomes entangled in a supernatural sisterhood in Bit, a queer vampire horror-comedy that explores belonging, identity, and the seductive appeal of finding people who understand you. After encountering a group of women led by the charismatic Duke, Laurel discovers a world where supernatural power comes with strict rules about who deserves to wield it.
Laurel's new circle offers a sense of belonging, but its members have very different ideas about what empowerment should look like. Their supernatural abilities make the sisterhood exciting, and the disagreements surrounding how to use them give the story its tension. The film embraces its campy personality through stylish nightlife, sharp humor, and bloody confrontations that make the vampire sisterhood less welcoming than it initially appears. Eternal life sounds appealing, but Laurel might want to read the membership agreement first.

The Craft
Sarah Bailey's new school experience takes an unexpected turn when she befriends three girls who have discovered a much more interesting extracurricular activity than joining the student council. Witchcraft sounds empowering until everyone starts using it to settle personal grudges.
A group of teenage outsiders finds power in the supernatural in The Craft, where newcomer Sarah joins Nancy, Bonnie, and Rochelle in practicing magic. Their growing abilities initially offer a way to confront the bullying, insecurities, and frustrations that have shaped their lives. But the girls soon discover that having the power to change their circumstances doesn't mean they'll agree on how to use it. As their friendship becomes strained, Sarah begins questioning the consequences of belonging to a group whose ambitions are growing darker.
Nobody does a supernatural makeover quite like the girls of The Craft. Their newfound abilities give them the confidence to challenge the classmates who've made their lives miserable, but the excitement of finally having power quickly reveals how differently each girl intends to use it. The moody '90s fashion, memorable magical sequences, and complicated friendships have helped make the movie a cult favorite.

Carrie
Carrie White would probably be perfectly happy making it through high school without becoming the center of anyone's attention. Her classmates, however, seem determined to make that impossible.
Angela Bettis takes on the title role in Carrie, the 2002 adaptation of Stephen King's novel about a painfully shy teenager caught between relentless bullying at school and the oppressive religious beliefs of her mother Margaret, played by Patricia Clarkson. Once Carrie begins discovering her telekinetic abilities, the people around her remain largely unaware of the extraordinary power developing beneath her quiet exterior. A cruel plan involving the school prom threatens to push her already fragile world toward a devastating confrontation.
The movie builds its tension around the cruelty Carrie experiences at school and the fear surrounding her life at home, making her growing powers feel like both an escape and a dangerous source of uncertainty. Bettis gives Carrie an awkward vulnerability that makes her isolation difficult to watch, while Clarkson's Margaret creates an atmosphere of religious fear that follows Carrie even inside her own home. By the time the school dance arrives, the decorations are the least concerning thing in the gymnasium.

Sissy
Reconnecting with an old childhood friend sounds like a lovely opportunity to revisit happier times. Cecilia's reunion, however, comes with a weekend getaway, unresolved grudges, and a guest list that includes someone she'd very much prefer to forget.
Social-media wellness influencer Cecilia, portrayed by Aisha Dee, has built an online identity around positivity and self-acceptance in Sissy. Her carefully maintained image begins unraveling when she reconnects with her former best friend Emma and receives an invitation to a bachelorette weekend. Once there, Cecilia discovers that Alex, a childhood bully whose treatment of her left lasting emotional scars, is also attending. The uncomfortable reunion gradually becomes a nightmare as old resentments and escalating confrontations push the gathering toward violence.
Cecilia's carefully curated positivity starts looking a lot less convincing once she's surrounded by people who remember a very different version of her. The movie finds plenty of dark comedy in the contrast between her carefully curated wellness persona and the messy emotions she's never fully confronted. Colorful visuals and outrageous horror make the weekend feel like a social-media nightmare nobody would dare post about.

Disturbing Behavior
Perfect grades, spotless reputations, and classmates who never seem to break the rules. The students at Cradle Bay High might look like every parent's dream, but their suspiciously flawless behavior should probably raise a few concerns.
After moving to a new town, teenager Steve Clark begins noticing something unsettling about the popular students at his school in Disturbing Behavior. James Marsden stars as Steve, whose growing suspicions lead him toward a disturbing secret involving the school's most obedient teenagers. Alongside Katie Holmes’s Rachel and fellow outsider Gavin, played by Nick Stahl, Steve begins investigating the strange transformations affecting students who once had very different personalities.
Cradle Bay High takes the pressure to fit in to a truly disturbing extreme. The popular students are suspiciously well-behaved, the adults seem far too comfortable with the school's unusual social order, and questioning any of it is practically an invitation to become the next problem that needs fixing. The mystery gives the film a sinister science-fiction twist, turning familiar teenage anxieties about conformity into something far more threatening. Popularity has never looked quite so suspicious.
