“Cujo”
Where to Watch: AMC+, YouTube Primetime Subscription, Amazon Prime
Rated: R
Our last pick is definitely the scariest, so be wary of showing this movie to sensitive audiences. Cujo follows the story of a St. Bernard who becomes a dangerous beast after being bitten by a bat. We must admit that this movie is not friendly to Cujo, but it will frighten viewers looking for a thrill.
