Hulu is always packed with an impressive variety of movies. It's one of many reasons that Hulu is one of the best streaming services. But with such a vast library, choosing what to watch can be incredibly frustrating.

Fortunately, Hulu also regularly has a curated list of the top 15 movies and shows currently trending on the streaming service. That makes it easier to find exactly what movies you need to watch.

There's just one movie in the top 10 this week. "The Beast Within" stars Kit Harrington in what looks like a tense horrifying werewolf movie. Then just outside the top 10 is "Edward Scissorhands," one of Tim Burton's best movies.

So without further ado, here are the top picks worth watching right now in Hulu’s top 15.

This is based on the Hulu top 15 movies and shows as of Thursday, October 31.

"The Beast Within" stars Kit Harrington as Noah, a loving father living in the English countryside with his family. But the film's central character is really his daughter Willow (Caoilinn Springall).

Willow's life in the remote countryside with her father and mother (Ashleigh Cummings) seems idyllic at first, but one night she grows a bit too curious about the strict rules her parents have set for life in their compound. When she follows them into the forest, she discovers that her loving father is really a monster, doomed by a curse to transform into a beast at night.

"Edward Scissorhands" stars Johhny Depp as the titular Edward. Edward was created by an inventor who died before giving Edward hands, leaving Edward with blades for fingers. Despite this scary appearance, Edward is a total sweetheart and is taken in by Peg Boggs (Dianne Wiest), an Avon saleswoman who discovers Edward is living alone in the deceased inventor's decrepit mansion.

However, when Edward falls for Peg's daughter Kim (Winona Ryder), it draws the ire of Kim's boyfriend Jim (Anthony Michael Hall). If you need something to watch this Halloween that's not scary but still has some spooky vibes, then "Edwards Scissorhands" is the movie for you.
