Virus scan, anyone? Here are 16 safer alternatives, websites where you can watch horror movies online legally and for free.

Legal?: Hmmm....
Sample Titles: Rec, Day of the Triffids, Dawn of the Dead (2004), Battle Royale, Cannibal Holocaust, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Puppet Master, Phantasm, Shrunken Heads
Bottom Line: An unpredictable hodgepodge of public domain, out-of-print movies, foreign films and whatever else is cluttering the Web -- some playable through Google's video interface and some available on other sites. However, it's difficult to browse -- there's no filter by genre -- so it's best to search for specific titles. There's some material that's in violation of copyright law, but viewing it online won't get you in trouble.

Sample Titles: Saw IV, Diary of the Dead, The Howling, 13 Ghosts (2001), The Hole, Flatliners, Evil Dead 2, Night of the Demons 3, Driller Killer, Interview with the Vampire, The Beast Within, Cujo, Mr. Vampire, Uzumaki
Bottom Line: Veoh has a combination of user-generated content (around 400 horror movies, some of which may have some copyright issues) and professional content from studios (around 100 horror movies), some of which it gets from Hulu. The non-Hulu material requires installation of the Veoh video player to view. It's much easier than Google Video to locate the horror selections, which are sortable by genre.

Bottom Line: A longtime haven for user-generated content, YouTube now has licensed movies, including about 20 horror films -- a selection similar to Hulu. Like Google Video, the user content is hard to browse (and copyright questionable), but if you find a power user who's uploaded a lot of horror content, you can see it all in one handy location. Sadly, the movies are typically divided into 10-minute chunks.
