Despite its grisly reputation, the horror genre is every bit as malleable as comedy or drama. What tickles the funny bone or bruises the heart is subjective; so, too, is what chills the spine. Our list of the best horror movies on Amazon Prime Video has something for everybody, from gory classics to found footage indies to slow-burning arthouse horror.

Here are 21 of the scariest films streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Michelle and John Goodman as Howard Stambler in '10 Cloverfield Lane'. Michele K. Short/Paramount Pictures

Released eight years after the first *Cloverfield* movie hit theaters, *10 Cloverfield Lane* takes a more psychological — and minimalist — approach to the sci-fi horror franchise. Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) awakens after a car accident to find herself injured and chained to a wall inside a bunker. Her captor (or savior, depending on who you ask), Howard (John Goodman), explains that Earth has been attacked, the outside world is poisonous and uninhabitable, and the only way to survive is to remain in the bunker with him and his fellow doomsday roomie, Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.) for the next few years.

Slowly, Michelle begins to adapt to life underground — until she discovers clues that suggest that Howard may not have been honest with her about the world's circumstances. The second of three films in the franchise — with *The Cloverfield Paradox* following in 2018 — *10 Cloverfield Lane* is only tangentially related to its predecessor, but the film's lean cast and terse plot make it an entertaining addition to the series. *—Ilana Gordon* * ***

**EW grade: **B**

**Cast: **Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman, John Gallagher Jr., Bradley Cooper **

47 Meters Down (2017)

Claire Holt as Kate and Mandy Moore as Lisa in '47 Meters Down'. Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures

When two sisters (played by Mandy Moore and Claire Holt of *Pretty Little Liars*) decide to vacation in Mexico to decompress from a recent break up, they don't expect to spend their time battling great white sharks and the depths of the ocean. But such is the plot of *47 Meters Down*, a women versus nature horror drama with teeth to spare. Moore and Holt carry the majority of the film on their wetsuited shoulders as they writhe in a shark cage at the bottom of the ocean, always aware of the Chekhovian device that is their quickly depleting supply of oxygen.

*47 Meters Down* doesn't present as a typical thriller; there are no (human) villains, no supernatural elements or vengeful spirits. The film stays in its "nature is terrifying enough" lane, ultimately producing, as one EW critic writes, "a lean and mean (and mostly un-gory) shark thriller clocking in at an efficient and slightly threadbare 89 minutes." *—I.G.*

Where to watch *47 Meters Down*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director: **Johannes Roberts

**Cast: **Mandy Moore, Claire Holt

American Psycho (2000)

Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman in 'American Psycho'.

Bret Easton Ellis' 1991 best-seller looks unrecognizable in Mary Harron's cinematic adaptation of the controversial novel. Starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, a yuppie investment banker whose only real passions are consumerism, dining out, and committing murder, this black comedy and horror fusion satirizes the mass-consumption and performative lifestyle that was a hallmark of the 1980s culture and economy.

Luckily for viewers, the film version of *American Psycho* presents the best aspects of the novel without luxuriating in book Bateman's fevered misogyny. EW's critic writes that the film is elevated by Bale's interpretation, noting, "He keeps Patrick lurching blindly toward humanity, until we see a self being born in a man who, paradoxically, was too selfish to have one." *—I.G.*

Where to watch *American Psycho*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director: **Mary Harron

**Cast: **Christian Bale, Justin Theroux, Josh Lucas, Bill Sage, Chloë Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, Samantha Mathis, Matt Ross, Jared Leto, Willem Dafoe

Black Box (2020)

Phylicia Rashad as Dr. Lilian Brooks and Mamoudou Athie as Nolan Wright in 'Black Box'. Everett Collection

The mind is a terrible thing to waste, and in the horror sci-fi film *Black Box*, mind games run rampant. Nolan Wright is a single father suffering from amnesia after surviving a car crash that killed his wife. Struggling to remember how to perform basic tasks both at work and in his personal life, Nolan reaches out to a neurologist who deems him a perfect candidate for her experimental black box treatment.

Repeated journeys into his mind force Nolan to battle the monsters in his memories, but the deeper he delves, the more he suspects that his past is not what it seems. A Blumhouse Television production full of twists, turns, and traumas that push Nolan to horrifying realizations, *Black Box *questions how much control we have over our minds, and the lengths to which people will go to keep their loved ones alive. *—I.G.* * *

Where to watch *Black Box*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr.

**Cast:** Mamoudou Athie, Phylicia Rashad, Amanda Christine, Tosin Morohunfola, Charmaine Bingwa

Black Christmas (1974)

Olivia Hussey as Jess Bradford in 'Black Christmas'.

This slasher classic still holds up as one of the most chilling horror films of all time. A group of sorority sisters' good tidings of comfort and joy are interrupted by repeated profane phone calls, leading to one of them being murdered in the attic. This kicks off a horrifying series of events as they try in vain to get the police to determine the source of the call while they are picked off one by one. There have been two attempts at remaking *Black Christmas* in the 21st century, but neither has approached the level of paranoia and dread of the '70s original. —*Kevin Jacobsen*

Where to watch *Black Christmas*: Amazon Prime Video**

**Director: **Bob Clark

**Cast:** Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder, John Saxon

Carnival of Souls (1962)

Candace Hilligoss as Mary Henry in 'Carnival of Souls'. Everett Collection

After an accident pushes their car off the road, Mary (Candace Hilligoss) awakens on the banks of a river in Kansas with no memory of how she got there or of what happened to her friends. Puzzled and shaken, Mary proceeds with her plans to move to Salt Lake City, where she's been hired as the new organist at a local church. But no matter where Mary goes, mysterious events, creepy people (including one played by the film's director, Herk Harvey), and sinister spirits seem to follow. And none of the oddities that pepper the movie's 78-minute runtime will prepare you for the twist at the end.

Watching *Carnival of Souls* today feels like witnessing a slew of Easter eggs before they've even happened, as many a genre filmmaker has been inspired by the haunting imagery, gothic music, and ending that continues to baffle even decades later. An EW critic writes, "More than just scary, it's arrestingly *odd*, with a bats-in-the-belfry 3-a.m. loneliness that you plug into like a private dream." *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Carnival of Souls*: Amazon Prime Video

**EW grade: **A–

**Director: **Herk Harvey** **

**Cast: **Candace Hilligoss, Sidney Berger** **

The Deep House (2021)

Camille Rowe as Tina in 'The Deep House'.

Epix/Everett Collection

Set in France, *The Deep House* follows two American YouTubers (James Jagger and Camille Rowe) as they travel the country, searching for haunted houses. But after discovering a mansion submerged in a lake, the couple finds themselves launched into the deep end of some nasty supernatural business.

Haters of deep water, satanic imagery, and sustained suspense need not apply: *The Deep House *runneth over with all three. But lovers of slow-moving, found footage films with unique settings (a significant portion of the action takes place underwater) will find much to love about this ambitious horror movie. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *The Deep House*: Amazon Prime Video

**Directors: **Alexandre Bustillo, Julien Maury

**Cast: **James Jagger, Camille Rowe

The Descent (2005)

Shauna Macdonald as Sarah in 'The Descent'. Alex Bailey/Lionsgate

Subtlety is all good and fine, but sometimes we want a scary movie whose thrills are delightfully down to earth. Such is the case in *The Descent*, a film that literalizes the trope of characters descending into danger, seeing our adventurous protagonists (a group of women on a girls' trip) encounter creepy critters deep underground.

EW's critic writes, "Made with a connoisseur's love of muck, blood, inky darkness, and equal parts elegance and ewwww, *The Descent* raises the level of the post–*Blair Witch*, post–*Open Water* horror game." Ultimately, this movie is a triumph for trading the claustrophobic terrors of a cabin in the woods film for the even more constrained carnage of a cave. *—Chris Snellgrove*

Where to watch *The Descent*: Amazon Prime Video

**EW grade:** A–

**Director:** Neil Marshall

**Cast: **Shauna Macdonald, Natalie Mendoza, Alex Reid, Saskia Mulder, Nora-Jane Noone, MyAnna Buring

Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018)

Park Ji-hyun as Ji-hyun in 'Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum'.

Well Go USA/Courtesy Everett Collection

YouTubers will do a lot of questionable things for views, but in *Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum*, one channel's livestream ends with more of its participants dead than alive. A South Korean found footage horror film set in the Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital, the movie follows a web series creator and the six people he recruits to explore the abandoned building. Drawn to room 402, the former intensive care unit, the group encounters supernatural entities they can't explain and danger they can't escape.

Based on the real-life Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital — a South Korean asylum that was considered one of the country's most haunted buildings before it was demolished in 2018 — the film starts off slow, but will have you lunging for the lights by the time the ending arrives. *—I.G.*****Where to watch *Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum*: Amazon Prime Video******Director: **Jung Bum-shik******Cast: **Wi Ha-joon, Park Ji-hyun, Oh Ah-yeon, Moon Ye-won, Park Sung-hoon, Yoo Je-yoon, Lee Seung-wook, Park Ji-a**

Goodnight Mommy (2014)

Susanne Wuest as Mother in 'Goodnight Mommy'. Radius

There is no shortage of creepy twins in horror ("Come play with us, Danny!"), and the most terrifying example from recent memory is in Austria's *Goodnight Mommy*, which premiered in 2014 at the Venice International Film Festival and was released theatrically a year later. A psychological horror story, *Goodnight Mommy* follows twin 9-year-old boys who begin to question their mother's identity after she returns from intensive cosmetic surgery as a seemingly different person than the parent they once knew. The boys commit to ousting the imposter and finding the location of their real mother, but their investigation leads to truths too horrifying to process.

In 2015, EW predicted an "inevitable remake," and in 2022, the film gods provided. Feel free to watch both versions, but definitely start with the original. —*I.G.*

Where to watch *Goodnight Mommy*: Amazon Prime Video

**EW grade: **A

**Directors: **Veronika Franz, Severin Fiala

**Cast: **Susanne Wuest, Elias Schwarz, Lukas Schwarz

Hell House LLC (2015)

Danny Bellini as Alex Taylor in 'Hell House LLC'.

The subpar sequels have somewhat sullied the reputation of Stephen Cognetti's *Hell House LLC*, a low-budget mockumentary about a haunted house attraction where tragedy strikes. That's too bad. *Hell House LLC* is supremely creepy, centering on a group of friends who scoop up an old, abandoned hotel in the hopes of remaking it into a profitable haunt only to find out that something evil lurks in the basement.

*Hell House LLC* is indie horror at its best, eliding fireworks and burdensome lore in favor of subtle, peripheral scares that encourage rewatches (or, at the very least, lots of rewinding). Even customary scares, like a mannequin's head that turns when the camera's not looking, are rendered fresh in a setting that's clearly as eerie in real life as it is on film. *—Randall Colburn*

Where to watch *Hell House LLC*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director: **Stephen Cognetti ** **

**Cast: **Ryan Jennifer Jones, Danny Bellini, Gore Abrams, Jared Hacker, Adam Schneider, Alice Bahlke

The Host (2006)

Kang-ho Song as Park Gang-Doo in 'The Host'.

Magnolia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection

Bong Joon Ho decided to make a monster movie for his third feature film, and with *The Host*, he succeeds in crafting a terrifying family drama. The trouble begins when an American scientist instructs his South Korean assistant to dispose of dirty chemicals into the Han River, thus creating a monster. Years later, said monster emerges from the water to terrorize the people of Seoul and kidnap a teenage girl.

*The Host *follows the members of the girl's multi-generational family as they hunt the creature down. A monster movie that editorializes on themes like pandemics (at the time: SARS), health care, government bureaucracy, consumerism, and American-Korean relations, EW's critic suggests that *The Host* "should become the hip, thinking-person's monster movie of choice." *—I.G.*

Where to watch *The Host*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director: **Bong Joon Ho

**Cast:** Song Kang-ho, Byun Hee-bong, Park Hae-il, Bae Doona, Go Ah-sung

Lake Mungo (2008)

Marcus Costello as Jason Whittle in 'Lake Mungo'.

Given that everything natural on the continent is designed to kill you, Australia seems an ideal setting for a scary movie. But in the psychological horror film *Lake Mungo* — set in Ararat, Australia — the fear isn't born from external foes, but rather from the terror required to succumb to the depths of human feeling. *Lake Mungo* begins with the accidental drowning of 16-year-old Alice Palmer. Upon returning home, her brother Matthew believes he sees Alice's ghost, but further investigation from the Palmer family reveals that Alice was seeing premonitions of her death.

Far from providing closure, the family begins to realize that the more they learn about Alice's personal life, the less they understand about what happened to her. Shot in mockumentary style and incorporating elements of found footage, *Lake Mungo* is, at its core, a horror movie about human behavior and navigating grief. *—I.G.***

Where to watch *Lake Mungo*: Amazon Prime Video******Director: **Joel Anderson ******Cast: **Talia Zucker, Rosie Traynor, David Pledger

Let the Right One In (2008)

Lina Leandersson as Eli in 'Let the Right One In'.

Magnet Releasing

Vampire movies don't work without blood, but the Swedish vampire drama *Let the Right One In* also offers up an equal helping of heart. Set in 1982, pre-teen Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) lives in a suburb of Stockholm and struggles to stand up to the bullies who harass him at school. But when pale and mysterious Eli (Lina Leandersson) moves in next door, Oskar finally has someone to talk to.

Eli and Oskar connect on a level neither has experienced before — but Oskar doesn't know Eli is a vampire. Offered up by an EW critic as a contender for best vampire movie of 2008, *Let the Right One In*, the critic writes, "is like a Scandinavian *Twilight* minus the teen-steam schmaltz, packing in great gooey scares while tracing the friendship between a picked-on 12-year-old boy and a girl who hungers for the red stuff." *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Let the Right One In*: Amazon Prime Video

**EW grade:** A

**Director: **Tomas Alfredson

**Cast: **Kåre Hedebrant, Lina Leandersson, Per Ragnar, Ika Nord, Peter Carlberg

Master (2022)

Regina Hall as Gail Bishop in 'Master'.

Amazon Studios/Everett

Mariama Diallo's directorial debut hones in on the insidious world of academia, exposing the unsettling paradigm where colleges promote a faux sense of diversity to mask their racist underpinnings. At the elite New England university of Ancaster, longtime faculty member Gail Bishop (Regina Hall) ascends to the position of the campus' first Black master. In this newfound role, Gale makes it her mission to protect first-year student Jasmine Moore (Zoe Renee) from anonymous bigoted pranks that seem to emanate from an otherworldly presence.

Though the film is saturated with macabre visuals, the real horror of *Master *lies within the shameful reality that "things will just continue as before," according to EW's critic — who wrote, "Any tale set at a place like Ancaster, its hateful baubles still gathering dust on shelves, would need to resemble some kind of ghost story." *—James Mercadante*

Nosferatu (2024)

Robert Eggers finally got to direct the story he's always wanted to remake with this haunting gothic horror drama. Based on 1922's *Nosferatu*, which was itself an unofficial interpretation of Bram Stoker's *Dracula*, the Victorian-set film follows a woman named Ellen (Lily-Rose Depp) who has an abnormal psychic connection with a faraway vampire, Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård).

Things escalate when Ellen's husband, Thomas (Nicholas Hoult), accepts an opportunity to sell Count Orlok a manor in town, and the parasitic vampire's arrival spells doom for the townsfolk. Unsettling and graphic with an undeniably dark romantic draw, *Nosferatu* is one of the most elegantly made horror films in recent years. —*K.J.***

**Cast:** Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Bill Skarsgård, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Willem Dafoe

Sleepaway Camp (1983)

Felissa Rose as Angela Baker in 'Sleepaway Camp'. United Film Distribution Company

In the indie horror classic *Sleepaway Camp, *camp is established in both setting and tone. A film known for its out of left field final plot twist, this low-budget slasher follows an unknown killer as they terrorize the young occupants of a summer camp in upstate New York in the 1970s.

The film was derided by critics upon its release, but in the decades since, *Sleepaway Camp *has been given its flowers and is recognized as a cult classic. Modern viewers have debated the effectiveness of the movie's queer themes, but genre enthusiasts agree that the best way to watch *Sleepaway Camp* is to go into the viewing with limited information. *—I.G.***

Suspiria (2018)

Dakota Johnson as Susie Bannion (center) in 'Suspiria'. Alessio Bolzoni/Amazon Studios

In a creative pivot, director Luca Guadagnino followed up his hit *Call Me by Your Name* with *Suspiria*, a period retelling of Dario Argento's 1977 horror classic that features the incomparable Tilda Swinton playing three different characters (one of whom is male), Dakota Johnson, and new-era scream queen Mia Goth.

When a sheltered young woman named Susie (Johnson) travels to Germany and joins an exclusive dance company, she encounters a whole different kind of company in the coven of witches who run the place. EW's critic highlights some of "the incredibly effective sequences in the film, including one showstopper in which Susie auditions for the lead part in a piece while, in a nearby studio, one of her fellow dancers is violently whipped around like a rag doll, her joints contorting like a possessed Swiss Army knife." *—I.G.*

The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014)

Jill Larson as Deborah Logan in 'The Taking of Deborah Logan'. Millennium Entertainment

Before helming horrors such as *Insidious: The Last Key* (2018) and *Escape Room* (2019), Adam Robitel poured his heart into his directorial debut, a film that quietly first dropped on Netflix sans any marketing or hype, yet swiftly attracted a million viewers in its opening weekend. The top half of this found-footage horror forces you to confront your own mortality when meeting Deborah Logan (Jill Larson)  — worn down by Alzheimer's disease and unable to care for herself  — and her attentive daughter (Anne Ramsey) through the investigative lens of aspiring documentarians.

However, as the film sinks its teeth into the second act, the filmmakers uncover something far more sinister lurking beyond Deborah's condition. Marked by a heart-rending yet horrifying performance from Larson, *The Taking of Deborah Logan* crafts a story where characters and their struggles feel achingly real while generating a fraught atmosphere that doesn't rely on over-the-top special effects or ominous music to scare the living hell out of you. *—J.M.*

Where to watch *The Taking of Deborah Logan*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Adam Robitel

**Cast:** Jill Larson, Anne Ramsay, Michelle Ang, Ryan Cutrona

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

Gunnar Hansen as Leatherface in 'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre'. Everett Collection

One of the forebears of the horror genre, *The Texas Chain Saw Massacre* built the sadistic road map followed by many modern films — the *Saw* and *Hostel* franchises among them. A movie that prompted eight sequels, and inspired 2022's *X*, this '70s torture film only needs a chainsaw and a face mask sewn from human skin to drive its viewers into spasms of terror.

Following a group of young hippies who visit an old family farmhouse and end up encountering the home's murderous next-door neighbors, EW calls *The Texas Chain Saw Massacre* the "template for modern horror." As EW's critic writes, "What *Chain Saw* channeled, far more than any other horror film of its time, was the dementia, the terrifying insanity, of violence. It made you feel like you were really experiencing what it was like to be murdered." *—I.G.***

Where to watch *The Texas Chain Saw Massacre*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Tobe Hooper**

**Cast:** Marilyn Burns, Paul A. Partain, Edwin Neal, Jim Siedow, Gunnar Hansen

We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)

Tilda Swinton as Eva and John C. Reilly as Franklin in 'We Need to Talk About Kevin'.

Everett Collection

Parenting is the ultimate horror story, and in the thriller *We Need to Talk About Kevin*, a writer named Eva (Tilda Swinton) reflects on how raising her psychopathic son Kevin (Ezra Miller) ruined her life. Kevin and Eva's relationship is fraught from birth, but as Eva struggles to get her husband (John C. Reilly) to recognize their child's emotional issues, Kevin's urges become increasingly more violent.

Miller's performance as the manipulative, destructive Kevin is, as EW's critic writes, "the best thing in the movie," and in a conversation with EW, Swinton says the film "has as much to do with the business of bringing up children as *Rosemary's Baby *had with the practical business with being pregnant." *—I.G.*

Sam Darnold passed for 330 yards and four touchdowns, and the Seattle Seahawks routed the Washington Commanders 38-14 for their third straight win Sunday night in Landover, Md.

Darnold tied the franchise record by completing his first 17 passes and finished 21 of 24. He threw one interception.

Washington's Jayden Daniels, returning after missing one game with a hamstring injury, left in the fourth quarter after sustaining what sustained what coach Dan Quinn confirmed after the game is a left elbow injury when the quarterback was sacked by Drake Thomas. Daniels had completed 16 of 22 passes for 153 yards and one interception and also ran for a touchdown and 51 yards.

ESPN reported later Sunday night that Daniels has a dislocated left elbow. He is scheduled for an MRI on Monday and is expected to be sidelined indefinitely, though it's not certain to be a season-ending injury.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had eight catches for 129 yards for Seattle (6-2), and Tory Horton had four catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns.

Seattle outgained Washington 418-290.

The Seahawks remained undefeated on the road (4-0), while the reeling Commanders (3-6) lost their fourth straight game.

The Seahawks led 31-7 at halftime. Tight end AJ Barner capped a 60-yard drive when he took a direct snap and scored from the 1 late in the third quarter.

One play after Daniels was injured, Chris Rodriguez Jr. scored on a 4-yard run with 7:14 left to play.

Seattle went 90 yards in 12 plays on its first drive. Darnold threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Horton and the Seahawks led 7-0.

The Seahawks then broke it open with two touchdowns in 11 seconds.

Seven plays after Daniels was intercepted by Ty Okada at the Seattle 40, Horton beat Mike Sainristil off the line and Darnold found him in the end zone for a 25-yard touchdown.

When Jaylin Lane fumbled the kick-off, Seattle recovered on the Washington 26, and on the next play, Darnold hit Elijah Arroyo, whose first NFL touchdown made it 21-0 with 8:41 left in the first half.

After a false start penalty wiped out a fourth-and-1 conversion, Washington punted. Seattle started at the 13, and four plays later the score was 28-0.

Darnold hit Smith-Njigba for 22 yards and then found Cody White, who went 60 yards for his first NFL touchdown.

The Commanders got on the board with 53 seconds left in the half after a 10-play, 68-yard drive. Daniels ran 12 yards to the 1-yard line and scored on the next play.

Jason Myers hit a 41-yard field goal as the half ended to make it 31-7.

Darnold finished the half 16-for-16 passing for 282 yards and four touchdowns.

Key Points -

Roblox and Spotify are delivering strong growth in revenues, and it has a lot to do with how they are using AI to drive user engagement.

Roblox just reported another strong quarter, with daily users surging 70% year over year.

Spotify's AI-powered playlists have led to strong growth in premium subscriptions that is contributing to higher margins.

10 stocks we like better than Roblox ›

Leading tech companies are driving massive change in the economy with artificial intelligence (AI). But some of the biggest beneficiaries in AI will be consumer services that leverage this technology to deliver better value to their customers.

Roblox (NYSE: RBLX) and Spotify Technology (NYSE: SPOT) are two leading entertainment providers that are starting to integrate AI in their businesses with great success. The result is that their users are spending more time playing games and listening to music, and that is translating to strong growth in revenue and free cash flow.

Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue »

1. Roblox

Shares of Roblox sold off about 10% following its third-quarter earnings results. The sell-off is a great buying opportunity, as it shows market participants don't fully understand Roblox's powerful growth flywheel driven by AI.

In Q3, daily users grew 70% year over year, with total hours spent on the platform up 91% to nearly 40 billion. Higher user engagement helped drive a 48% year-over-year increase in revenue, with free cash flow up 103%.

These results come as Roblox is integrating AI in the content creation process to help developers more efficiently design their games. AI is also making it easier for players to find games they will like. This is leading to more releases that are keeping players engaged for longer periods. As a result, players are buying more premium content, which is driving revenue growth.

The sell-off was likely triggered by management announcing they will double down on AI spending. This could negatively impact near-term profitability, but it also means more growth over the long term. It's short-term pain for long-term gain.

Roblox produced $941 million in free cash flow on a trailing-12-month basis, demonstrating how profitable it is becoming as it leans into automation in game creation and adds more users. The consensus analyst estimate has free cash flow reaching $3.8 billion by 2029. The long-term trajectory looks positive for Roblox, making the dip a great buying opportunity.

2. Spotify Technology

Spotify is another leading consumer service that is starting to show excellent prospects from integrating AI-generated content on its platform.

AI-powered features like personalized playlists, Discovery Weekly, and AI DJ contributed to strong growth in premium revenue this year. In Q2, premium revenue and subscribers both grew 12% year over year, while free cash flow grew 44% over the year-ago quarter.

AI features are creating a positive growth flywheel for Spotify. User interactions with generative AI-created playlists provide valuable data for Spotify to better understand user preferences. Higher usage of these features improves Spotify's AI systems, increases user satisfaction, and leads to more growth in premium subscriptions, which are required to access premium AI features.

The Q2 financial results show how this flywheel is ultimately benefiting the company's profitability. The growth in premium revenue is increasing faster than costs, leading to a jump in operating income of 53% year over year in Q2.

Management is in the process of rebuilding its platform on generative AI, which indicates they are seeing internal data that is pointing to a big opportunity. During the Q2 earnings call, Chief Product and Technology Officer Gustav Soderstrom said their investments in AI will "bring personalization to a whole new level." Clearly, management believes the best is yet to come.

It's no coincidence that as the company dives deeper into personalization, it is seeing strong demand for premium subscriptions and growth in free cash flow. Analysts expect Spotify's free cash flow to reach $5.9 billion by 2029, which reflects expectations for strong premium revenue growth, potential for price increases to those premium plans, and cost leverage. This should fuel solid returns for shareholders.

Rangers Coaching Staff to Flee Ship After 2023 World Series Decline

After winning the World Series in 2023, the Texas Rangers were on Cloud 9, but since then, it has not been good going. They finished 3rd in the 2024 and 2025 seasons and were well short of the Wild Card spot in both seasons. So, there were going to be some changes for the 2026 season, and it looks like they are going to go all out in the offseason.

The Texas Rangers look like they are cleaning their coaching staff for some new faces. MLB Trade Rumors reported saying, "Veteran pitching coach Mike Maddux has already left the Rangers to become the Angels' new pitching coach… Third base coach Tony Beasley and co-hitting coach Bret Boone aren't expected back with the team in 2026."

The Texas Rangers are entering a period of major transition as several familiar coaching figures move on. Pitching coach Mike Maddux has joined the Los Angeles Angels after three seasons in Texas, where his staff led MLB with a 3.47 ERA in 2025. Longtime catching coach Bobby Wilson, who spent six years with the organization, also confirmed his departure in early October. Third base coach Tony Beasley, a fixture since 2015 and a cancer survivor, will seek another opportunity elsewhere.

Beasley's exit ends an 11-year tenure that included an interim managerial stint in 2022, during which he guided the team for 48 games. His positive influence and leadership were often praised, though recent baserunning calls drew increased scrutiny during tight playoff races. First base coach Corey Ragsdale, who coordinated infield and baserunning duties in 2025, is expected to replace him. Maddux's decision to leave, despite an offer to remain under new manager Skip Schumaker, leaves a significant gap in continuity.

The coaching turnover also includes co-hitting coach Bret Boone, who is not expected to return next season. Justin Viele will take over as the Rangers' lead hitting instructor, while the futures of Seth Conner, Jordan Tiegs, Dave Bush, and Luis Urueta remain undecided. President of baseball operations Chris Young has said that several coaches' contracts are expiring, but all remain in good standing. With Schumaker now shaping his first staff, Texas faces an offseason of reshaping its identity while maintaining the foundation built under Bruce Bochy.

The Texas Rangers wanted a reset, and now Skip Schumaker gets the keys to everything. Chris Young's plans for continuity now look more like a full-blown staff renovation in motion. If Texas misses again in 2026, there won't be many coaches left to blame.

3 players that the Rangers will trade before the new season

The Texas Rangers have reached that awkward stage where denial meets reality. After two years of "we'll be fine," the front office can't keep pretending that average is acceptable. The magic of 2023 has worn off, and now it's time to clean house. Some familiar faces are about to find new homes, not because they want to leave, but because Texas can't afford to wait anymore.

Jake Burger, Josh Jung, and Joc Pederson head into the offseason facing uncertain futures in Texas. Burger, once seen as Nathaniel Lowe's replacement, suffered repeated setbacks due to wrist injuries and inconsistent production. His 2025 season ended in a platoon with Rowdy Tellez after posting just 13 home runs. Jung, the 2019 first-round pick, appeared in 131 games but hit .251 with 14 homers and a .685 OPS.

Pederson's struggles added to the Rangers' frustrations after a brutal 2025 campaign. Signed to fix the designated hitter spot, he batted .181 with nine home runs and 26 RBIs. His $18.5 million salary next season makes him a possible trade piece for roster flexibility. Jung's decline in strikeout and chase rates highlights his need for a fresh start elsewhere. For fans, these moves signal complex changes ahead but also the first steps toward renewal.

The Rangers can't rebuild their momentum while carrying the ghosts of Burger, Jung, and Pederson. Change is never comfortable, but comfort hasn't won them anything since 2023. If Texas truly wants progress, sentimentality can't bat cleanup anymore.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was ruled out with a concussion after hitting his head on the turf during the 18-15 loss to the visiting Denver Broncos on Sunday.

The Broncos' Kris Abrams-Draine levied a blow to the midsection of Stroud as he attempted to slide for a first down with 13:49 remaining in the first half. The hit resulted in Stroud slamming the back of his helmet against the turf. After receiving attention from the training staff, Stroud departed under his own power and was later escorted to the home locker room.

Abrams-Draine was not flagged on the play, but Houston coach DeMeco Ryans said after the game that there should have been a penalty for unnecessary roughness.

"He hit the quarterback when he's sliding and giving himself up," Ryans said. "If I'm incorrect on the rule, I've seen it happen multiple times with our guys, and we get the penalty. Bur for some reason, it just didn't happen here."

The Broncos improved to 7-2 while the Texans fell to 3-5 with a home game against AFC South foe the Jacksonville Jaguars (5-3) slated for next Sunday.

Stroud was 6-for-10 passing for 79 yards and led the Texans into field goal range on two drives. Davis Mills replaced Stroud under center with the Texans leading 3-0 and led a drive for an additional Houston field goal. Mills finished 17-for-30 for 137 yards.

"I thought Davis battled, tried to do a good job there," Ryans said. "But it just didn't do well offensively once we lost C.J."

Sunday's concussion was the second for Stroud, 24, who left a December 2023 game against the Jets after a hard tackle by Quinnen Williams. On that play,

the back of Stroud's helmet smacked the turf. He did not play in the next two Texans' games vs. Tennessee and Indianapolis.
