Okay, so you’re a Riverdale fan, you love Madelaine Petsch’s red hair, and now you wanna dip your toes into her horror movie world? Smart move! She’s got some seriously wild flicks, and a few of them just dropped on Peacock. Let’s get into it, because honestly, you need to know which ones are worth your precious streaming time.
1. Let’s Talk About ‘The Strangers: Prey at Night’
This one’s a prequel, but it feels like a sequel to the original cult classic. Madelaine plays Kinsey, a teen trying to survive a night with some seriously creepy masked psychos. It’s got that retro vibe and some jump scares that actually work. If you like your horror with a side of 80s synth, this is your jam. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s fun!
2. Her Role in ‘Polaroid’

So, this movie is about a cursed vintage Polaroid camera that apparently kills anyone whose picture it takes. Spooky, right? Madelaine plays one of the friends who gets caught up in it. It’s got that teen horror vibe, and while it got kinda mixed reviews, it’s a quick watch if you’re just looking for something light and creepy.
3. She Was In ‘Clue’
Okay, this isn’t *technically* a horror movie, but it’s a cult classic and Madelaine has a tiny role! It’s a murder mystery comedy based on the board game. Think super campy and hilarious. It’s a fun little easter egg for hardcore fans. You might miss her if you blink, though!
4. The Vibes of ‘Sightless’
This one is a bit more psychological. Madelaine plays a woman who is blinded after an attack and then starts to feel like someone is in her apartment. It’s claustrophobic and has some genuinely unsettling moments. It’s definitely a moodier film, and she really carries it. Lowkey obsessed with her range here.
5. Her Cameo in ‘5 Flights Up’
Another one that’s not horror, but it’s a sweet indie film where she has a small part. It’s about an elderly couple deciding whether to sell their apartment. It’s a totally different vibe from her usual roles, showing she’s not *just* about the screams. Cute, but not what you’re looking for if you want scares.
6. The Underrated Gem: ‘The Car’ (2020)
Okay, THIS is where she gets to flex those horror muscles. It’s a short film, but it’s WILD. A woman is stranded on the side of the road and a mysterious car keeps circling her. It’s tense, atmospheric, and Madelaine is giving it her all. Seriously, give this one a watch when you have 15 minutes to spare.
7. Why ‘The Strangers: Prey at Night’ is a Good Starter
Look, if you’re new to horror, ‘The Strangers: Prey at Night’ is a solid entry point. It’s not overly gory, but it’s definitely suspenseful. The masked killers are iconic in a creepy way, and Madelaine’s character is relatable. You’ll be jumping, but you won’t need to sleep with the lights on… probably.
8. The ‘What If’ Factor of ‘Polaroid’
‘Polaroid’ plays on that classic horror trope: what if your camera is cursed? It’s a fun concept that’s executed decently. Madelaine’s performance is solid, and it’s got enough jump scares to keep you entertained without being too heavy. Perfect for a Friday night with friends.
9. Madelaine’s Range in ‘Sightless’
Honestly, ‘Sightless’ is where you see Madelaine doing some serious acting. It’s a psychological thriller that relies on atmosphere and her performance. It’s intense and can be a bit disturbing, but she’s SO good. This is for when you want a horror movie that makes you think… and then jump.
10. The Pure Camp of ‘Clue’
Okay, I know I said it’s not horror, but the sheer fun and iconic nature of ‘Clue’ makes it a must-watch. Madelaine’s appearance is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, but the movie itself is pure comedic genius. If you need a break from the scares, this is it. Total mood.
11. Why You NEED to See ‘The Car’
This short film is a masterclass in building tension on a budget. Madelaine is fantastic as the stranded woman, and the looming threat of the car is genuinely terrifying. It’s short, sweet, and to the point. This is the kind of hidden gem that makes you a horror aficionado. No cap.
12. The Divisive Nature of These Films
Look, not every Madelaine horror flick is going to be a slam dunk. Some are divisive, yeah. But that’s part of the fun! You get to decide if you love it or hate it. It’s like discussing the latest Marvel movie, but with more blood… maybe. Her choices are always interesting, though.
