Is the movie The Frighteners available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

At Stream Tracker, we take a look at Peter Jackson's The Frighteners (1996), a ghost‑ridden blend of horror and dark comedy that follows former architect Frank Bannister as he poses as an exorcist while trying to unravel a deadly supernatural mystery. Between ectoplasmic hauntings, a grief‑scarred backstory, a fragile romance with a victim's widow and a maniacal FBI agent, the film rides its special‑effects spectacle — which earned it some recognition — to sell both scares and laughs. In this article, we check whether The Frighteners is currently haunting Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+ and where you can stream this eerie little thriller.

Synopsis

Frank Bannister, a former architect, now makes a living as a self-styled demon hunter, spinning a tale that a car crash that killed his wife awakened his supposed abilities to convince a skeptical small town. When a series of unexplained deaths begins to plague the community, Bannister is drawn into a genuinely ominous investigation; as he uncovers eerie connections he becomes romantically entangled with the widow of one victim and finds himself locked in conflict with a volatile FBI agent whose fixation only deepens the danger.
