Hold Your Breath (2024)
Hold Your Breath is a terrifying thriller set in 1930s America during the dust storms of the era. It follows a woman who believes a supernatural force is threatening her family during the environmental disaster, and the line between paranoia and reality becomes increasingly blurry as the storm intensifies. It makes heavy use of the wide open spaces many early settlers faced, and it features themes of survival, psychological terror, and supernatural dread. Watch it on Hulu!
What We Do in the Shadows (2019)
What We Do in the Shadows is a mockumentary-style comedy horror series based on the 2014 film of the same name by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. It takes place in Staten Island, New York. It follows four vampire roommates—Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, and Colin Robinson—along with their human familiar, Guillermo, as they try to navigate modern life while still dealing with the challenges of being vampires. It blends horror elements with dry, absurdist humor and clever writing to create a show perfect for Halloween. Watch it on Hulu!
American Horror Stories (2021)
American Horror Stories is a spinoff of the hugely popular American Horror Story, and it has a lot of the same elements horror fans looking for something to celebrate the spooky season will enjoy. However, unlike the original series, which focuses on one overarching story per season, American Horror Stories presents standalone horror tales in each episode. This format allows for a wide variety of terrifying plots, including haunted houses, urban legends, supernatural creatures, and other chilling narratives. It also means you can catch a quick story if you want to without needing to commit to several episodes. Watch it on Hulu!
