The spooky season has arrived once again, and Netflix has a wide range of great horror TV shows that are perfect for Halloween 2021. From critically acclaimed original series and animated gems to beloved horror TV mainstays and twists on classic genres, there’s a lot to love and be spooked by on Netflix this October. But with only so much time left before the Halloween season is over, horror aficionados only have time for the best.

Before getting to the cream of the Spooktober crop, it’s worth mentioning the many lesser-known horror shows that have come to Netflix in recent years, many of which may have been glossed over by devotees of the genre in favor of some of the streamer’s bigger hits. For those looking for a new take on the tried-and-true zombie subgenre, Black Summer is absolutely worth a watch. Fans of the Evil Dead movies may want to check out Ash vs. Evil Dead, which is now available on Netflix. Or, for the truly dedicated horror TV viewers who’ve seen most of the big stuff, Slasher, Hemlock Grove, Ares, Ju-On Origins, and many others all provide some fresh scares for Netflix subscribers.

When it comes to the best of Netflix’s horror offerings, however, the competition is stiff. The streamer has released some staggering original horror series in recent times, and a number of classic shows from other studios are also currently available for rewatches, or for those who never caught them the first time around. Without further ado, here are the best horror TV shows on Netflix for Halloween 2021.

Midnight Mass

Starting off the list is one of Netflix’s most recent additions to its catalogue of horror originals, Midnight Mass. Created by acclaimed horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan, Midnight Mass tells the story of a small, insular island community beset by a series of terrifying supernatural events. The show features some truly unnerving elements of gothic horror, tying in contemporary religious themes to its larger story of darkness and death. The show is both bone-chilling and thought-provoking, and it’s a perfect watch this Halloween season.

The Haunting Of Hill House

Another creation of Flanagan’s for Netflix’s library of original horror shows, The Haunting of Hill House is a powerful twist on the genre that examines the traumatic effects of supernatural experiences on a grown group of siblings. The show’s immense popularity upon release means many Netflix subscribers may have already seen it, but for any who haven’t, now is the perfect time. Be warned, though, that the ending of The Haunting of Hill House may leave viewers as emotionally weary as terrified, given the beautiful but somber tales of the different core characters. The follow-up series, The Haunting of Bly Manor, is also worth a watch for those who missed out on it the first time around.

The Walking Dead

Few TV shows have contributed as much to the horror genre over the past decade as The Walking Dead, and while the various spinoffs are a bit more complicated to find for binge-watching, the original series is still on Netflix for streaming. Enough time has passed now since the start of the Walking Dead universe that many potential viewers may have passed the series over due to the overwhelming task of chewing through so much content, but there’s never been a better time to start. The Walking Dead’s zombie world is as engrossing and addictive as it is horrifying, with dozens of great characters and a stellar style that commands tension. So many years later, there’s a reason The Walking Dead has stayed so incredibly popular.

Castlevania

While Castlevania may not be a horror series per se, there are few shows on Netflix more appropriate in style for the spooky season. The animated saga follows demon hunter Trevor Belmont and his small band of allies in a battle against Dracula and the other forces of darkness. The world of the show is filled with haunting music, stark gothic landscapes, and ungodly beasts, all animated in a gorgeously hideous style. Plus, Castlevania’s version of Dracula is one of the most unique interpretations of the character ever put to screen, leading a full ensemble of flawed, nuanced, and deeply compelling characters. Castlevania is not for the faint of heart, however, as the series boasts one of the goriest stories viewable on Netflix.

Supernatural

A love of the horror genre at large isn’t necessary to enjoy Supernatural – a show that, at this point, needs no introduction. The saga of Sam and Dean Winchester ended in 2020, leaving 15 full seasons for newcomers to binge through or for those who’ve already seen the series to rewatch. Delving into the Supernatural story can be daunting given its length, but the easy chemistry between costars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki makes it all easy viewing. From angels to demons, vampires to werewolves, there’s every kind of monster imaginable in Supernatural, making it a great choice for Netflix viewing this October.

Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina

Witches, demons, Eldritch Terrors – all these and more are just part of the twisted world of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The reboot of the beloved Sabrina the Teenage Witch was largely positioned as a darker alternative to teen dramas like Riverdale, but the appeal of the show goes far beyond specific demographic. The show stars a stellar ensemble cast led by Kiernan Shipka as Sabrina, and though it wraps up a bit abruptly at the end of season 4, it’s a great binge for those wanting a bit more lore and drama in their horror TV. Plus, with Sabrina returning in Riverdale season 6, now’s the perfect time to get caught up on what the character has been up to on Netflix.

Kingdom

Hopefully, the global rise of Squid Game has opened English-speaking Netflix subscribers to the wide and beautiful world of foreign-language streaming content – a world that includes shows like Kingdom. Set in a medieval fantasy world, Kingdom tells the story of a deadly zombie plague sweeping across the land, with an extra layer of tense political intrigue. The series is classic undead drama mixed with some of the best elements of Game of Thrones, yielding a thoroughly addicting and entertaining show.

American Horror Story

Like The Walking Dead and Supernatural, Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story is an iconic show. The series has been a titan of television for a decade, exploring all manner of unsettling themes through its various seasons. Because American Horror Story tells a completely different tale each season, it’s perfect for Halloween binging – primed for newcomers to watch whichever chapter appeals to them the most, be it “Asylum,” “Coven,” “Cult,” or something else.

Stranger Things

By now, it’s likely that most people with access to a Netflix account have already watched Stranger Things, but it can’t be left out on a list of the streamer’s best Halloween shows. From its neo-retro brand of horror to its spectacular cast of characters, Stranger Things is simply one of the best TV shows of the past five years. Any remaining holdouts owe it to themselves to finally give the series a watch this Halloween, and with Stranger Things season 4 on the way, there’s never been a better time to revisit the show – especially Stranger Things season 1, which remains a masterpiece unto itself.
