Horror/Suspense (TV Show/Series)

• Stranger Things – In Hawkins, Indiana, bikes outrun monsters, kids battle telekinetic chaos, and waffles fuel a telepathic queen. Government labs spill secrets, friendships get tested, and the Upside Down won’t stop calling. It’s nostalgia, neon, and nightmare fuel rolled into one supernatural mixtape of sci-fi, horror, and heart.

• The Haunting of Hill House – A family grows up inside the creepiest Airbnb imaginable, where the rent is fear and ghosts lurk in every corner. Past trauma collides with present dread as siblings confront the house that shaped—and shattered—them. It’s gothic, heartbreaking, and hair-raising all in one perfectly haunted package.

• The Fall of the House of Usher – Imagine Succession but goth: a powerful family, dripping in wealth and rot, haunted by secrets darker than velvet curtains. One by one, the heirs fall in twisted, horrifying ways. Edgar Allan Poe meets Netflix binge—a blood-soaked morality tale that’s equal parts creepy, tragic, and deliciously stylish.

• The Haunting of Bly Manor – A gothic love story disguised as a ghost tale. An au pair moves into a misty manor, but kids aren’t the creepiest thing here. Love, memory, and grief tangle with spectral figures, blurring who’s alive, who’s dead, and who’s holding on too tightly. It’s hauntingly beautiful heartbreak.

• Midnight Mass – An island parish gets a shiny new priest with charisma, charm, and… a terrifying secret. Faith, miracles, and horror collide as the devout learn salvation sometimes bites back—literally. A slow-burn of dread, beauty, and bloody communion, where belief becomes the deadliest addiction of all.
