Over the years, Netflix has accumulated quite an impressive assortment of scary and spooky TV series. The streaming giant caters to all audiences and has content of all genres. If you are looking for chilling horror shows on Netflix, here are some of the top picks:
Black Mirror
When Netflix released Black Mirror’s first six episodes, it took over the internet by storm. Black Mirror is often called as modern-day Twilight Zone. The show’s plot revolves around technology, fame, grief, and politics and tackles these subjects via the lens of fiction. The episodes are captivating, terrifying, and extremely saddening. There are the occasional disturbing ones as well. Black Mirror is bound to shake you up.
Brand New Cherry Flavor
Brand New Cherry Flavor is a crazy and imaginative revenge story. The plot revolves around an ambitious young filmmaker who makes it to Hollywood but gets her film stolen by her shady producer. Set to get revenge, she employs the service of a mysterious witch summoning a curse that makes all of their lives hell. Although the series was billed as a limited series, it definitely builds up a detailed narrative.
The world of Brand New Cherry Flavor has a world that is enthralling and creepy at the same time.
Haunting of Bly Manor
Although the TV show is a follow-up to The Haunting of Hill House, the story and characters are all new. The show is made in a new setting. However, it will still jangle your nerves and leave you distraught emotionally. The show is based on the works of Henry James, mainly the Turn of the Screw. Haunting of Bly Manor is a new season that takes place in the 80s. The story is about a young American woman who has a mysterious past. The young woman is hired as an au pair for two kids at the Bly Manor. However, there is a lot more going on at the surface than meets the eye. If compared to Hill House, Bly Manor is not scary at all. Haunting of Bly Manor is a Gothic romance but still has a spooky vibe not to mention emotional.
Midnight Mass
Midnight Mass is Mike Flanagan’s third miniseries on Netflix. The series is about a small community of people living on Crockett Island where a supernatural presence has made its abode. Strange incidents begin to occur after the young priest Father Paul replaces the town’s pastor. People begin to disappear, dead cats are found along the beach, and those suffering from illnesses or injuries are healed suddenly all of a sudden. Some people think of it as an intervention from above. However, there are more dark forces responsible for it. Like the Haunting of Hill House and Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass is a hauntingly beautiful take at humanity through the horror genre.
Flanagan has done a great job at creating the perfect balance of spooky and spirituality. The people of Crockett have to face a demonic force and address their demons.
