Spooky season requires spooky movies. Those are the rules. Whether you prefer a supernatural thriller, a bloody slasher, or a good ol' creature feature, the Screambox library is abundant with all the horror content your heart desires. And perfectly timed to kick off spooky season, Amazon is running a sweet deal on the streaming service.

Through the end of Prime Big Deal Days (which runs Oct. 7 and 8), Prime members can sign up for two months of Screambox for just $1.99 per month — a grand total of $3.98. Typically, a subscription costs $6.99 if you sign up for Screambox on its own or $4.99 if you sign up through Prime Video, which means you'll keep an extra $3 or $5 in your pocket for two months.

Screambox is a top streaming destination for horror fans, with a horror-exclusive library that spans cult classics, modern originals, and indie gems. It showcases uncut versions of films that are hard to find elsewhere, as well as exclusive streaming premieres. This isn't where you'll find all the most popular Hollywood blockbuster horror flicks, but more specialized genre deep cuts. It's the streaming home of horror icons Art the Clown and the Toxic Avenger, as well as cult favorite films like I Spit on Your Grave, Sleepaway Camp, and Devil Dog: Hound of Hell.

Craving a particular type of horror? The curated Screambox library gets creepily specific. There are categories for everything from "The Power of Christ Compels You" to "Movies Where Guys Get Their Junk Destroyed." If you're into obscure scares, it's the streaming service for you. And as part of Amazon's October Prime Day streaming deals, you can get spooked for just under $2 per month.
