While the horror genre isn't exactly the Marvel Cinematic Universe's main selling point, the billion-dollar franchise does feature a handful of movies and series you could binge-watch this Spooky Season. Here are the top 10 MCU movies and series to watch this Halloween!

Werewolf By Night

The most obvious Marvel series to include on this list is Werewolf By Night.

Released just last year as a horror-centric special for the billion-dollar franchise, Werewolf By Night features the monster hunter, Jack Russell, who turns into the titular hound himself.

The white-and-black-focused series is intended especially this Spooky season, considering that not many Marvel movies or series are based around that.

What If...?

On the brink of Marvel's Multiverse coming into view, the series What If...? was born, in which every fan theory applies to the occurrences in different dimensions and realities within the Marvel Universe.

This includes horrifying images of the undead, Peggy Carter as Captain America instead of Steve Rogers, and more hypotheticals that could have happened in the alternate universes.

Loki

The Loki series might not be horror-centric, but as it applies to the next big bad in the franchise, Kang the Conqueror and his variants have kept a dark secret about the Time Variance Authority and controlling the Sacred Timeline.

Besides, would it really be Halloween without the God of Mischief in the picture?

Spider-Man: Far From Home

Spider-Man: Far From Home may not be your typical Halloween film, but you've got to hand it to Mysterio. His illusions going up against Spider-Man just keep getting more and more nightmarish the longer Peter stays under his control.

Not to mention, the corpse of Iron Man being used against Peter while he's still mourning his death. Besides that, there's no forgetting one of the biggest plot twists in the MCU happened in this very film.

WandaVision

The WandaVision series is full of surprising twists and turns. Every episode leaves you with head-scratching clues leading up to the most horrifying reality behind Westview's spell behind the scenes.

This is where Wanda Maximoff first fully takes control of her utmost potential of becoming the Scarlet Witch, most evidently, when she grabbed ahold of the Darkhold spellbook for her own benefit.

When WandaVision ended, it turned out to have been teasing her next appearance and that is in the Doctor Strange sequel, Multiverse of Madness.

The sequel expanded more about Doctor Strange's Supreme Sorcerer powers, the vast inner workings of the Multiverse, and of course, the closest thing Marvel has at making a horror Marvel movie.

Secret Invasion

It's pretty scary not knowing which ones you could trust or not. Nick Fury was never paranoid, after all. In fact, it's exactly that his mistrust towards everyone, including his own colleagues, is what saved him from his own series, Secret Invasion.

Now that the Earth is swarming with unknown Skrulls in their midst, Nick and the good side of the Skrull colony have to protect the humans from the 'bad' Skrulls.

Moon Knight

A new Marvel hero that doesn't rely on cameos? A series that doesn't need any other movies or series to watch before seeing it? Well, Moon Knight's probably your best choice.

Apart from the terrifying story behind being chosen as Moon Knight at gaining a second life in the universe, this series comes a long way from its predecessors of MCU series. It's available to stream on Disney Plus, too!

Ms. Marvel

The Marvels is right around the corner, so other than catching up with the three Captain Marvels coming together on the big screens this November, Ms. Marvel is a series you can climb off your high from.

A little kid-centric, but if you're into fun costumes, attending comic conventions, and just plain out seeing a superhero geek out about the Avengers and other MCU heroes, then Ms. Marvel's the way to go.

Venom

Need we say more? Venom himself is already a spine-chilling, hair-raising entity to find yourself scared of. This doesn't exactly mean just watching the first movie, by the way, since both its first and sequel movies are might just what you need this Spooky Season!
