Best Horror Series on Netflix to Stream Right Now

Midnight Mass

Mike Flanangan’s one of the most prominent horror genre series today is ‘Midnight Mass.’ Flanagan’s work is known for its slow-burn stories. He takes time to build every character around the story, create a suspense and thriller, holds it for the maximum time and then explodes the scary part of the story that instils fear in the audience.

The series is more than just a horror series. The drama has taken into consideration a lot of current issues and personal battles.

It may not be the highest rated horror series, but if you invest your time, you will understand how different it is from the rest.

Faith can be a beautiful thing, yet a dangerous one.

Flanagan takes cinematography very seriously. He takes every element in the scene and tries to make it deep and thought-provoking.

There are no jump scares, surprisingly in the series yet a fear element works.

All of Us Dead

This Korean zombie drama became hugely popular when it got released, possibly one of the best zombie TV show ever.

The story follows a viral outbreak that begins in a high school and it soon turn the school into a zombie infected place. But some student are trying to escape from getting bitten and how did they do that.

While running along, the students bond with each other and lean ways to kill those zombies.

The season 2 is coming soon which Netflix has revealed. There is more story to it. If watching zombies are your thing, seriously, you should never miss this amazing K-drama series.

The Haunting of the Hill House

It is Mike Flanagan’s directorial horror series inspired by Shirley Jackson’s book of the same name. Mike Flanagan has already got the fame of directing good horror movies like Hush, Ouija, Gerald’s Game, and Doctor Sleep.

The season follows a dysfunctional family of siblings who had terrible haunting childhood experiences that are still affecting each of them.

Each of the seven members of the Crain family is trying to deal with their fear, pain, and mental illness. All of them see ghosts are driving them into losing their sanity.

The Hill house where they used to live as kids is the inhabitants of monsters which they have left long back but still are haunted.

The series is slow story-driven and fascinating; it focuses on each character. There are some scare jumps and some intensely emotional scenes as well.

I would say, ‘The Haunting of the Hill House’ is one of the best horror series to stream.

Castle Rock

Stephen King-inspired series ‘Castle Rock’ is a horror mystery series that is focused on a kid named Henry Deaver, and his arrival changes every existence.

It is a story when Henry Deaver is stuck in two dimensions, the presence of an alternate universe. In the series, there are two Henry Deaver, one is a lawyer, and the other is a kid who was caged for years but hasn’t aged a bit.

The plot is complex, confusing, but interesting and thrilling enough to watch. ‘Castle Rock’ horror series doesn’t feature any monster or ghosts, but some moments will give you chill and thrill.

There are three seasons, each focusing her life around her family, love partner, friends, and the dark lord.

More than a horror tale, it is a coming-of-age series that tells the adventures of Sabrina in the world of witchcraft and defiance of the dark lord.

Netflix’s The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is fun, lovely, shows the value of family and friendship and fighting against the evil.

Is it scary, or does it rightly fit the horror genre?

There are some scary moments in the first and second seasons. It’s different; it has the touch of the 80s’ satanic tale.

Hemlock Grove

Many say the series is painfully bad, but when I first watched the gothic series, I find the concept unique. The show is a blend of supernatural, gore and darkness of characters set in a small town in Pennsylvania.

The series has perhaps the all kinds of monsters, from the blood-sucking vampires to werewolves involve in doing biomedical malpractices. The characters are disturbing indeed.

Hemlock Grove maybe not the best of series to watch on Netflix, but under the horror series category, the series has plenty of gothic and scary scenes.

Haunted

Netflix’s ‘Haunted’ is a horror anthology, people tell their experiences of being haunted, and they claim to have witnessed and felt the spookiness.

It has two seasons, each episode telling different haunting experiences. How much reality is there in those stories that you can evaluate.

So, if you are interested more in listening to people’s experiences, Haunted is the series for you.

Penny Dreadful

Of all the horror series, Penny Dreadful shines because of its genuine scary plot. The series’ gothic spin takes place in the Victorian era, where the costumes are exceptionally attractive.

Each character justifies the series being one of the best horror-thriller TV shows ever made.

The series is the blend of a supernatural entity that brings conflict in the storyline. There is romance, bloodshed, violence, battle, mystery, and horror element, together all make it an interesting show to watch.
