Daybreak
(Features Wiretap Commentary)
Set in a post-apocalyptic Glendale, California, the horror-comedy is about Josh (Colin Ford) and a ragtag group of misfits who are searching for his missing girlfriend while fending off zombies. The series also stars Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), Alyvia Alyn Lind (Future Man), and Cody Kearsley (Riverdale). The eight-episode first season was released earlier this week, just in time for Halloween!
The Haunting of Hill House
One of Netflix’s most frightening originals to date, the story flashes between the past and present as the Crain family deals with memories from their old home and the horrors that drove them away from it. The psychological horror stars Carla Gugino (Jett), Michiel Huisman (Game of Thrones) and Annabeth Gish (Halt and Catch Fire). Watch it all in a day if you dare!
Crazyhead
Living through your early twenties is hard enough, but Amy (Cara Theobold) and Raquel (Susan Wokoma) have it so much worse as they have the added hurdle of hunting demons. The six-part horror-comedy series is perfect for an afternoon or evening binge.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

Based on the Archie comics character, teenaged witch Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka) navigates the human world that her friends inhabit while dealing with her family’s dark legacy. It also stars Lucy Davis (Wonder Woman) as Aunt Hilda and Miranda Otto (Lord of the Rings) as Aunt Zelda. Season 1, Parts 1 and 2 are available on Netflix now, and Season 2 is in production.
Haunted
People share their real-life horror stories, supernatural encounters, and unexplained phenomena in this spine-tingling original series. Season 1 was released in 2018, and Season 2 dropped earlier this month. Although you may want to binge this one, you’ll probably need a little break here and there because it is intense!
Castlevania
(Features Wiretap Commentary)
Based on the hit video game franchise, this animated series centers on a vampire hunter fighting to save a city from Dracula and his minions. The all-star voice cast includes Richard Armitage (Hannibal), James Callis (Battlestar Galactica), and Graham McTavish (Outlander). The first season has four episodes while the second has eight, making it a quick and easy binge.
Glitch
In this Netflix Original from Australia, six people return from the dead with no memory of who they were and what ended their lives. All three seasons of the paranormal drama are available to watch, and at six episodes apiece, it would be a great weekend binge.
Lucifer
(Features Wiretap Commentary)
Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) leaves his home in Hell behind and begins a new life in the City of Angels where he teams up with Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German) and the LAPD to solve crimes while dealing with family drama. The first three seasons originally aired on FOX, and Season 4 was its first as a Netflix Original. A fifth and final season is coming in 2020.
Santa Clarita Diet
(Features Wiretap Commentary)
Death isn’t the end for married real estate agents Sheila (Drew Barrymore) and Joel (Timothy Olyphant) when a bad case of food poisoning actually ends up being a virus that turns Sheila into a zombie. The dark horror-comedy was cancelled earlier this year, but that shouldn’t stop you from watching all three seasons.
Hemlock Grove
One of Netflix’s first originals, Hemlock Grove takes place in a Pennsylvania town with dark secrets, a twisted past … and werewolves. The horror series, produced by Eli Roth (Hostel), and starring Famke Janssen (X-Men) and Bill Skarsgård (It), had three seasons on the streamer before it was cancelled.
Stranger Things
(Features Wiretap Commentary)
It’s hard to believe that some people haven’t watched Stranger Things yet, considering the worldwide phenomenon it sparked and the launching of superstar careers for its young cast like Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard. If you like your scares with a healthy dose of 80s nostalgia and a killer soundtrack, this show is for you. Three seasons are on Netflix right now, and a fourth season is currently in production.
Black Summer
(Features Wiretap Commentary)
Strangers join forces to survive at the start of a zombie apocalypse, including Rose (Jaime King), a woman desperately trying to find her daughter. The eight-episode first season was released in April of 2019.
Slasher
(Features Wiretap Commentary)
If you enjoy American Horror Story, the anthology series Slasher has three seasons you can binge right now. The first season is the tale of a small town terrorized by the return of a notorious serial killer when one of his only survivors, Sarah (Katie McGrath), comes home.
