3 – The Haunting of Hill House – Netflix released ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ three years ago. This horror series is newer, scarier, and more immersive.
The series is an adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s famous novel ‘The Haunting of Hill House’. The show created by Mike Flanagan, is a huge success that has generated a lot of excitement and fear among viewers on social media. Master of horror writing Stephen King said it was “close to a work of genius”.
Get ready to be scared by spooky ghosts inside the walls when supernatural encounters reveal hidden secrets in this bone-chilling creation.
Immerse yourself completely as tragedy unfolds while exploring themes like family bonds disguised behind chilling spectres—truly spine-tingling from start till finish!
The Haunting of Hill House is not only terrifying, but also traumatising. The series is about a family that spent a summer in a haunted mansion called Hill House.
Something tragic happened to the mother, played by Carla Gugino. The children grow up away from the house, but the ghosts never stopped following them.
Flanagan’s work features powerful images and delves into the characters’ fears, allowing us to experience their personal anxieties. It’s hard to sleep afterwards, and, when you eventually do, those ghostly visuals linger in your dreams.
A key part of the fear is in the characters, and the Crain family is filled with darkness. The series’ initial emphasis is on building and understanding those characters, shaping them into people we can feel scared for.
4 – Manifest – Hold on tight, because Flight 828 has made a remarkable comeback after its enigmatic vanishing, left viewers across the globe spellbound!
Manifest delivers increasingly more mysteries each season, keeping viewers captivated with unexplained phenomena and intricate character relationships.
This sci-fi sensation leaves audiences in suspense until they are completely shocked by the end of each season.
In April 2013, Flight 828 departed from Jamaica heading to New York City. After experiencing turbulence during the flight, the plane landed again five-and-a-half years later, in 2018.
The world was shocked to hear that the flight had returned, with all passengers still alive and not having aged at all.
Creepy and compelling all at once, right?
5 – The Witcher: The Witcher is equally magical, mystical, and otherworldly. It takes place in a fictional world known as ‘The Continent’, and there are several different kingdoms within the continent, too.
Geralt de Rivia is the main character and the highlight of the show for us.
He is a monster hunter with magical powers who faces moral dilemmas in a world full of mythical creatures and magic.
He’s handsome and swift, and even though Geralt is a monster hunter, he seems to live by a code of a higher level. He doesn’t kill unless he absolutely must, and it never seems as if it’s purely for sport.
