10 Scariest Shows to Watch in Netflix Now ‘Coz It’s the 7th Month
1. The Shining
Before Doctor Sleep, there was The Shining, a classic horror masterpiece that somehow manages to terrify till this very day.
Don’t believe me? Just check it out.
2. Gerald’s Game
This one is a little kinkier than the rest on this list, but Gerald’s Game is still a choice pick owing to its harrowing portrayal of a woman who has to confront her worst possible fears in order to survive.
Be warned though; this piece is a lot slower and psychologically-driven than most films of the same genre, so you’re advised to skip to point 3 if you prefer fast-paced scares.
3. Brightburn
So maybe Superman isn’t that scary. Because you know, he’s heroic and stuff.
But just imagine a world in which Superman is not your average goody-two-shoes, but an unsettled demonic maniac with an unquenchable thirst for blood.
Sounds utterly terrifying? Well, meet Brightburn.
Dammit, where’s Batman when we need him?
4. Pet Sematary
Pets are adorable and all. But infuse a demonic spirit into the husk of a fallen pet and all of a sudden it’s not sunshine and rainbows anymore.
Though not as ‘high-quality’ as its remake, this classic Stephen King novel still instils a morbid sense of fear into oneself…
