Love a good scare but looking something with a bit more length? (And let’s be honest, who isn’t??)
While there are tons of great scary movies of all kinds streaming this month we’d like to recommend some terrifying TV options as well!
These shows are perfect for the Halloween season…

The Haunting Of Hill House
A family of seven temporarily moves into Hill House, hoping to fix it up and resell it just a few weeks later. But some of them end up staying forever…
This reimagining of the classic Shirley Jackson gothic horror novel splits its time between 1992 and 2018, telling the Crane family’s entire saga. Fans of This Is Us will recognize how the flashback structure offers unique dramatic insight into how the adult children ended up. Seriously, bring your tissues. However, no slow cooker was ever as dangerous as the horrifying Bent-Neck Lady, and this series doesn’t skimp on the scares. Not just one of the best horror shows but one of the best TV series of the past few years, period.
Streaming on Netflix.
The Twilight Zone
The original is still the greatest!
Not every episode of the sci-fi anthology series is scary, but the horror ones are some of the best half hours of all time. Check out these classics for timeless fright:
- The After Hours
- Living Doll
- To Serve Man
- The Dummy
- It’s A Good Life
- And When The Sky Was Opened
- Terror At 20,000 Feet
- Nightmare As A Child
- Perchance To Dream
- Nothing in the Dark
- Come Wander With Us
- The Purple Testament.
Streaming on HULU, Prime Video, & Netflix.
Marianne
This French frightfest is brand new, and it’s already one of the most unnerving shows ever made!
Novelist Emma Larsimon is a genuine phenom whose twisted, imaginative stories about a witch named Marianne have sold millions of copies. The only problem is, the stories aren’t coming from her imagination… she doesn’t know how, but the grotesque horrors she has been describing for years have been real all along.
For real, this show is *not* for the squeamish! (Or for those afraid of having to read subtitles.)
Streaming on Netflix.
Inside No. 9
This British anthology show is more along the lines of gallows humor than horror — but it has plenty of creepy short stories to keep the biggest franchise fans titillated.
Streaming on HULU.
The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina
This new version of the classic Archie spinoff Sabrina The Teenage Witch really leans into the darker side of witchcraft lore, complete with demons, blood magic, and The Devil himself. Those looking for the family friendly TGIF sitcom may want to give this one a pass…
Streaming on Netflix.
Lore
What kind of horror stories are the scariest? The ones that are true! This documentary series examines real cases that inspired or were inspired by monster mythology and folklore. Unfortunately what real people in the grip of fear have done is sometimes far more disturbing than any fantasy…
Streaming on Prime Video.
The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell
Christine McConnell pairs a home DIY and cooking show with a scripted series full of ghosts and monsters. Think Martha Stewart Living for the Halloween crowd. It’s a ghoul thing.
Streaming on Netflix.
Two Sentence Horror Stories
This crowdsourcing-inspired anthology turns the simple horror meme into a series of fun, surprising vignettes.
Streaming on Netflix.
Ash VS Evil Dead
Bruce Campbell reprises his role as Ash Williams, hero of the Evil Dead and Army Of Darkness, in a show that manages to capture the manic energy and old school practical effects of the beloved franchise.
It’s gory, goofy, and impossible to predict — heck, it may even give you a good scare!
Streaming on Netflix.
