The months are just flying by. In just a few days, we'll be starting a new month, and with it comes a bunch of new releases on Netflix. However, it also means we'll be seeing many movies and TV shows departing the streaming platform. Although this happens every month, it’s still a bummer to say goodbye to some beloved titles.
Unfortunately, several great horror films will be among those leaving Netflix in April 2025. That's why it's important to carve out time to watch them before they depart the streamer, because you never know if they'll return or when you'll get another chance to watch them. With April just around the corner, there's not much time left. Below, we shared a list of four must-see horror movies to catch on Netflix before they're removed next month.

It is arguably one of the best Stephen King film adaptations ever made. Set in the fictional town of Derry, the supernatural horror film follows a group of children who are terrorized by a malevolent entity that takes the form of a terrifying clown named Pennywise.
