The 12 scary movies and the creepiest Netflix series
Halloween arrives and everyone puts on their disguise and goes out to do god knows what … But not you, you prefer to prepare an XXL bucket of microwave popcorn and stay scared, which sometimes even has its point . Therefore, we have the list of horror movies and series that are hitting it on Netflix and that you should not miss.
The Orphan (2009)
The Orphan (2009)
If for you terror is equal to "unscrupulous psychopaths" this movie is yours. It was released in 2009 and had a success that remains today. The film is about a family that decides to adopt a girl, Esther, who, as time goes by, develops a strange personality. At first only her biological children suspect her, but by the time the parents discover the truth she hides, it is too late.
Insidious (2010)
Insidious (2010)
And since we are talking about "classics that you cannot miss", we cannot pass up the Insidious saga. At first it seems like your typical horror movie where the new house (haunted, of course) is the problem of all your ills. But then it takes on an unexpected turn with surprises in between not suitable for tachycardia.
Veronica (2017)
Veronica (2017)
Supposedly it is based on the real story of a family from Vallecas (Madrid), which is even more scary due to the possible veracity of the story and its closeness to us. The film tells the story of a girl, Veronica, who lives in the bosom of a humble family and who is possessed by a demonic entity that will not leave her alone so easily. If you are one of those who flee from movies that have to do with demons, nuns and convents, we do not recommend it.
The Warren File (2013)
The Warren File (2013)
And speaking of demons, nuns and convents … The saga includes the terrifying Anabelle (2014) and La Monja (2018, in theaters right now). Together they make up the darkest set of movies we've ever seen. Everything revolves around a demonic entity throughout the plot and its story is so chilling that you will spend nights and nights without slewing. If you are brave, go ahead with the marathon.
The Invitation (2015)
The Invitation (2015)
Far removed from the demonic genre, in 2015 La Invitation came into our lives , a tragic film that tells the story of a group of friends who meet at the house of two of them. At first it seems like a chance encounter but little by little the story takes on a cruel, sadistic and somewhat unpleasant tinge. There are no spirits but there are some crazy people on the loose.
The apostle (2018)
The apostle (2018)
And before we move on to series, we have the perfect movie for blood lovers. The Apostle is (after the Saw saga ) the bloodiest and most graphic film we've ever seen. Based on a Scottish island in the early 20th century, the story is cruel, dark, and somewhat strange from beginning to end. If you are squeamish and cannot see blood, stay away from it.
The Walking Dead (2010)
The Walking Dead (2010)
How could the most mythical series of the zombie genre not be on this list? Of course, The Walking Dead is always a good option for Halloween, especially for lovers of zombie stories. If you haven't seen a single chapter and you consider yourself a fan of these types of stories, you're already taking time. Spoiler: you're going to get hooked and you're going to finish the series in two days.
Black Mirror (2011)
Black Mirror (2011)
It does not belong to the horror genre as such but it does have dark touches in several chapters. In addition, the series makes an ode to the future that awaits us because of new technologies and, honestly, it is very scary.
American Horror Story (2011)
American Horror Story (2011)
With this series you have to choose because each of its seasons has a theme. The first, Murder House , takes place in a cursed mansion. The second, Asylum , in a mental hospital. The third, Coven , in a witch house. The fourth, Freak Show , in a circus. The fifth, Hotel , you know where. The sixth, Roanoke , in another haunted house. The seventh is called Cult , but we will have to wait for Netflix to release it to find out. In all of them, more than terror (which also) abounds with blood, torture, spiritism, strange beings and twisted stories. So no, it's not the classic scary series (it's much more than that).
The Fog (2017)
The Fog (2017)
Based on the story of Stephen King, it is a series that gradually increases its degree of terror. At first it doesn't seem like more than a regular mystery series but, little by little, it becomes a dark series with which to have a hard time. Anguish (and fog) will take hold of you as you watch it. Get air before.
Stranger Things (2016)
Stranger Things (2016)
It is one of the most successful series of recent years and the fan phenomenon around this series is more than justified. Will's disappearance shocked everyone, but what happens during the harrowing search is inexplicable. An entire city is stained with darkness because of a terrifying creature and a million unanswered questions. If you have not yet cheered up with it, we do not know what you are waiting for.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018)
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018)
No, it's not an adaptation of Sabrina, witch stuff . The new Netflix series has NOTHING to do with the comic sitcom of the nineties. This new Sabrina also understands comic points but it is more terror and gore that predominate in her story. Sabrina's original magic is present throughout the plot, yes. But for magic, the one that Zara has done with its latest collection.
The Curse of Hill House (2018)
The Curse of Hill House (2018)
It looks like your typical scary series where there's a haunted house and a lovely family but no … it's really brilliant. The plot manages to mix a dark and overwhelming story with a beautiful message that will make you reflect at the end.
We were fantasizing about the costume that we are going to for Halloween at Zara Kids until we have come up with a much better plan: to have a marathon of scary movies and series . And, with the cold outside, the only thing you want this Halloween is to sit on the couch, puff up to eat popcorn and watch scary movies until the sun comes up. If there weren't little things to watch on Netflix, we'd have a problem … But that's not the case (Blessed internet!)
The best Netflix scary movies
Original text
Do you want to spend a dark night at home (with or without a companion)? So that you know the degree of terror that each one has, we have rated them from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most terrifying fear you will have ever experienced.
- The Orphan : 3. Well, more than fear it is distressing and despairing.
- Insidious: 4. Because I could have gotten much more out of the tragic story. It couldn't be perfect.
- The Apostle: 3. It is not fear, it is anguish and gore to die.
- Warren File: 5. Because with Anabelle and La Monja they have been crowned (for good).
- Veronica: 5. Because it is demonic and traumatic in equal measure.
- The invitation: 3. In the same vein as La Orfana .

- The curse of Hill House: 5. Well, he knows how to perfectly combine a dark story as a base and a beautiful message behind. It will make you think.

- The fog: 4. Well, at first it is loose and it takes time to get the point.
- The Walking Dead: 2. Because it is the classic Zombies series and it is a must-see but scary as such, you will only pass at the beginning.
- Stranger Things: 2. It's not very scary but it is the queen of the must-see on this list.
- Black Mirror: 2. Because what is most scary is how we can end up if we continue to use technologies like this … Who can save themselves!
- The chilling adventures of Sabrina: 4. Because it mixes the teenager phenomenon with a very well achieved horror story (nothing to do with the nineties sitcom ).
