some scary stuff. Are you guys looking for a good streaming scream? Cause I have a list
for you. If you’re a scary movie lover like me, than you must appreciate that Netflix
has TV shows that lets us binge watch an entire season of scary stuff. There’s nothing better
than a scary TV show to scratch that itch when you’re in the mood to get your scare
on. Let’s jump into today’s list of Top 10 Scary TV Shows On Netflix That Will Keep
You Up At Night.
10. Starting off our list at number 10 is American Horror Story. The first episode came
out on October 5th back in 2011 and ever since that day; the show has found a way to keep
the audience on the edge of their seats for 8 seasons. The show was created by Ryan Murphy
and Brad Falchuk, who came up with the genius idea to have new characters in a new plotline
every single season. Each season is like a miniseries with a storyline that has its own
beginning, middle, and end. One aspect of the show that makes it so scary is that each
season is inspired by true events. Each season tells a twisted and intriguing tale that focuses
more on the horror and less on the story. The show is known for the out-of-the-box characters
that you normally don’t find in TV series. The show also adds some psychological elements
that force you to ask yourself what the hell is going on? If you haven’t watched it,
just an example of the stories you can expect to see: The second season is called Asylum,
and takes place in Massachusetts during the year 1964, and follows the stories of
the patients and staff of an institution for the criminally insane. Just imagine the type
of shit you would see in there. Each season has a new cast which means you also get to
see more of your favourite actors making an appearance on the show. You might even see
Lady Gaga at some point.
9. At number 9 is Bates Motel. It’s an American psychological horror series that first came
out in 2013 and ended in 2017. The series is a prequel to Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960
horror film, Psycho, and is based on the story of a boy named Norman Bates and his mother
Norma. The series starts out with Norma’s husband passing away, so she decides to purchase
a motel located in an Oregon town so that she and her son Norman can start a new life.
As the series continue, we learn that Norman has a mental illness, and one that is very
dangerous. The show is filled with creepy and taboo material, one creepy thing being
the odd relationship between the mother and son. I promise you it’s one you’ve never
seen before and at times it makes you extremely uncomfortable. The show ran for 5 different
seasons and once you start, you can’t stop binge watching. It’s creepy, dark, uncomfortable,
yet so intriguing at the same time. I’ve watched every episode and I swear I’d watch
it all over again, it was that good.
8. Sliding into the number 8 spot is Black Mirror. The show has been called the modern-day
version of the show called Twilight Zone. When Netflix first released 6 episodes of
Black Mirror, the internet lost its mind. The episodes are all standalone storylines,
usually set in the past or the future, and often have a dark and unsettling tone. Charlie
Brooker, the creator of the show, created it to highlight topics that relate to humanity,
like: fame, politics, technology, and grief. Every episode covers a different subject and
tells it through some sort of terrifying and gut wrenching story. Yet for some reason,
the audience can’t stop watching. The show has some sci-fi elements that rattles your
perceptions on things and leaves you wanting more. All 5 seasons are officially on Netflix
and the show even has a movie called Black Mirorr: Bandersnatch which was released on
December 28th in 2018. Go check them out. You won’t regret it.
7. At number 7 we have The Twilight Zone, the original TV show that Black Mirror was
originally based off of. Sometimes the original is better than the modern-day version so I’ll
let you guys be the judge of that. The series’ first came out back in 1959 and focused a
lot on science fiction. The show is filled with paranormal events that lead the show
more towards a mix of fantasy and horror. The show is called Twilight Zone because it
was inspired to describe the surreal experiences. The show received incredible reviews when
it aired and it was ranked to be the best anthology series of the year. Because the
filming elements were much different during that time, it almost gives you an even more
unsettling feeling compared to the technology we see nowadays. The show has been called
a variety of things such as: philosophical, funny, disturbingly relevant, and straight-up
terrifying. If you’ve seen it already, let me know how you guys would describe it.
6. Taking over the number 6 spot is Penny Dreadful. The show first began airing on television
back in 2014 and the creator of the show, John Logan, announced it reached its conclusion
on June 19th in 2016. It is a British-American horror drama that takes from some of the hallmark
movie characters: Dr. Frankenstein, his monster, Dracula, and The Wolfman, and intertwines
them into a Victorian England style. The show has been titled as a gothic horror because
the show is so unique and dark. Penny Dreadful takes the different historical monsters and
dives deep into the psychological scars that haunt their lives; it takes them very seriously
let’s just say that. Although the series is a period piece, it’s done in a modern
fantasy world, which is probably why people get so hooked on it. There’s a lot of drama
and a lot of horror, which is the perfect combination to keep you up at night.
5. Half way through the list at number 5 is Mindhunter. The reason this show is categorized
as scary, is because it focuses on true crimes and real serial killers. The series was created
by Joe Penhall and is based on the true crime book called Mindhunter: Inside the FBI’s
Elite Serial Crime Unit. That’s basically the whole description of what this show is
about. The plot is set in 1977, in the early days of criminal profiling and psychology.
The story revolves around FBI agents Holden Ford, Bill Tench, and psychologist Wendy Carr,
who originate the FBI’s Behavioural Science Unit. Through the series, they interview imprisoned
serial killers in order to understand how they think, to try and apply their gained
knowledge when solving other cases. You learn about the details of the different crimes,
which are dark, gore, and unsettling, and most definitely won’t have you sleeping
like a baby at night.
4. At number 4 we have another crime thriller, Dexter, which leaves you questioning humanity
and also your safety? The story is set in Miami and centers around a man named Dexter
Morgan. He works for the Miami Metro Police Department as a forensic technician who specializes
in blood spatter pattern analysis. When he’s not at work, he’s Miami’s most dangerous
serial killer, who hunts down other murderers who might have gotten away with their crimes.
Although Morgan Dexter is a fictional killer, there was a real serial killer who had a similar
story. A man named Manuel Pardo went on a killing spree in 1986, killing 6 men and 3
women. He only targeted drug-dealers and wrote in his final letter before his execution that
he was a “solider” for ending the drug traffickers. The Dexter TV series has you
on the edge of your seat as you see the character play two different roles; he almost convinces
you that what he’s doing is okay. It had me all kinds of messed up. He seemed like
a genuine guy who works for the police department, you would never expect him to commit the crimes
that he did. Lesson truly learned; you can’t trust anyone.
3. Alright guys, at number 3 we have Hemlock Grove. It’s a horror series that was based
on Brian McGreevey’s novel Hemlock Grove, which is a fictional town in Pennsylvania.
The show examines all the strange happenings in the town. Brutal murders happen and the
town begins to stir up rumours. Two teenage girls are brutally killed and their bodies
were left out in the open to be found the next day. It focuses on Roman Godfrey, who
comes from the town’s wealthy family, and befriends one of the town’s newcomers, Peter
Rumancek. The two of them work together to try and shed light on the murder cases while
also hiding their own dark secrets. Throughout the series, sinister mysteries start to unfold
and a different side of the town is exposed, which reveals that nothing is really what
it seems. The show ran from 2013-2015 and has 3 different seasons that are totally worth
watching, but only if you’re okay with being scared.
2. At number 2 we have the TV show, Haunted. The series premiered on Netflix on October
19th in 2018 and had people hooked after the first episode. The show follows the paranormal
stories of real people; each individual talks about their paranormal experience as we see
all the horrific details unfold behind them. The reason it’s so scary is because it’s
not paid actors, its real people, with reals stories. Some people are skeptical if the
stories are as real as they say. To give you an example, episode 2 was called The Slaughterhouse
and featured a woman recounting the story of her serial killer parents. The story was
so crazy and gruesome that it was hard to believe that it could actually be real. But
as we’ve learned, there really are some serious serial killers out there. The show
basically has you feeling like ghosts are real, and serial killers are close by, and
you should never sleep alone at night. I’ll let you guys watch it and decide if you believe
that the stories are real or not.
1. Taking the number 1 spot is The Haunting of Hill House. The filmmaker behind Hush and
Gerald’s Plan delivered another scary hit with this new TV series. It was inspired by
horror novel written by Shirley Jackson, and although it doesn’t carry over her narrative,
it focuses more on the haunted lives of the Crain family that she wrote about. Hill House
is a mansion located between many hills and was built by a man named Hugh Crain. The Netflix
series goes back and forth between the summer the Crain family spent in the haunted mansion
and the years of grief and trauma they faced in the aftermath. It’s not your typical
haunted house story, I promise. The paranormal horror and also the emotions between the characters,
leaves you with full body chills. The original book was titled the best ghost story published
during the 20th century, and the series does it justice. It will crush your dreams of owning
a mansion one day, and if you don’t believe in ghosts, you might after you watch this.
Alright guys, that’s all I have for you today. Let me know in the comments if you’ve
watched any of these shows and what your thoughts are. For now, let’s check out some comments
from some other videos.
Kyla Runyan says: so she got in trouble for bashing the president but now everyone’s
allowed to. #hypocrites - - I can agree with that, I think the big difference though is
that people state their opinion about him whereas she was taking pictures with a de-capitated
bloody head.. Anyone would take heat for that.
Daniel Morales says: Hulk Hogan is not a fighter - - well why don’t you get in the ring with
him then and let him know that he’s not a fighter.
Shakia Frasier says: I’m so sick of the rock - - why does everyone keep commenting
negative things about the rock? Am I missing something?
OKAY I’M ONLY SAYING THE FIRST NAME ON THIS BECAUSE YA…
Lumana says: wow… I never realized how pretty Joce is until now. - - well thank you for
finally realizing.
