All the Horror Heading to Hulu, Netflix, Tubi & Other Streaming Services in April 2026
April has arrived, and it brings with it new library titles joining your favorite streaming services. No April Fool’s gags here; we’re here to help when it comes to figuring out what to watch. HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Peacock, Paramount+, Pluto TV, Shudder, and Tubi have announced their April 2026 library additions, keeping your watchlists busy. Here’s a rundown.
Bryan Fuller‘s darling Dust Bunny makes its streaming debut this month on HBO Max. Netflix unleashes not one but two genre originals with the Tommy Wirkola’s Thrash and serial killer thriller Apex. Look for a trio of Tubi Originals to arrive this month, including Hive.
If you missed box office juggernaut sequel Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 in theaters or on Digital, head to Peacock this month. Those seeking marathon binges this month may want to head to HBO Max to revisit the Alien franchise, or Paramount+ for Paranormal Activity.

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
