We all want to be scared on Halloween -- at least, that's the goal of the spooky holiday.

Netflix Canada and Rue Morgue magazine, Canada's preeminent horror dossier, have teamed up to create a list of the Top 20 streaming horror movies available on the content-download service. From the classic '80s paranormal adventure "Ghostbusters" to the claustrophobic "The Descent," there's something for every movie taste on this list.

"One of the reasons I wanted to curate a list of horror films through Netflix is that there are a lot of films on the service that we've championed in the pages of Rue Morgue," says editor-in-chief Dave Alexander. "There's a ton of cool stuff that has flown under the radar for various reasons, but if you're a horror fan, you should be checking 'em out. "Black Death" is a perfect example; we put it on the cover of the mag because it's this really original film set in the time of the Black Plague, involving a cult and a band of not-so-merry band-men on a witch hunt -- how often do you come across something like that?"

Alexander is totally confident that even a Halloween naysayer will be on-board for at least one of the selected films.

"We cast a wide net with the list, so there are fun, special effects-driven '80s classics like 'Fright Night,' 'They Live' and 'Tremors,' along with more obscure but really cool Canadian picks such as the original 'My Bloody Valentine' -- Quentin Tarantino's favourite slasher flick -- and 'Cube.' Naturally, there's some stuff for gorehounds, notably the outrageous 'Human Centipede' movies and 'Shaun of the Dead.'"

"If you're a horror fan outside of Halloween, there's a load of cool stuff on Netflix. Hell, if you can't find $8 a month worth of worthwhile genre stuff to stream, take my advice and throw your TV in front of a bus."

• 'Shaun Of The Dead'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> This movie turned the zombie genre on its head, while being a zombie movie itself. Genius.

• 'The Descent'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> This suspenseful film is claustrophobic and features mostly (only) women. Interesting and frightening.

• 'Tremors'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> A classic, this movie is both fun <em>and</em> gruesome.

• 'Ghostbusters'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> Easy comedy, Sigourney Weaver turns into a dog, Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, Slimer ... need we continue?

• 'Dawn Of The Dead'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> Zombie master George A. Romero returns to form with this more-modern version of his other "Dead" films.

• 'The Blob'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> The classic pink Blob is both endearing and slightly scary, if you're afraid of things like Silly Putty.

• 'Fright Night'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> Perhaps spurred on by the recent Colin Farrell remake, "Fright Night" has experienced a resurgence in popularity. A pop-culture vampire movie before most other pop-culture vampire movies.

• 'The Walking Dead'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> This TV show is killing it (no pun intended)! Plus, it's gross.

• 'My Bloody Valentine'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> This is Quentin Tarantino's favourite slasher film, but aside from that, you have to love a series of grisly murders based around the <em>real</em> story of St. Valentine.

• 'The Human Centipede'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> Because it's revolting.

• 'Cube'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> Often the object of derision, "Cube" is actually a pretty awesome psychological thriller. And it's Canadian to boot!

• 'The Children'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> Another remake, this more modern version follows the same plotline: children turning on, and then killing, their clueless yuppie parents.

• 'The Mist'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> It's based on a Stephen King novel, so you can't really go wrong.

• 'The Mothman Prophecies'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> C'mon. Richard Gere as a reporter, looking into a bunch of bizarre occurrences and mysterious entities? How can you say no?

• 'They Live'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> The effects are epic in their '80s-ness, but in terms of original plot, this movie is top notch. Basically, a drifter finds a pair of sunglasses that lets him wake up to the fact that aliens have taken over the Earth.

• 'Black Death'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> Something that looks like it should be <em>Game of Thrones</em> ends up being a supernatural thriller; in medieval times, some people dying of the Plague are being brought back to life.

• 'Daybreakers'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill. That is all.

• 'Kill List'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> More mystery/thriller than horror, we watch the protagonist try to tackle the seemingly simple task of offing three people.

• 'Mr. Brooks'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> Kevin Costner plays the title role in this underrated movie.

• 'The New Daughter'

  <strong>Why People Wanna Watch:</strong> Kevin Costner again! Only this time, he moves his family to rural South Carolina, only to discover his daughter becoming ... well, not his daughter.
