No matter how noble their intentions, the spirits in the house aren’t pleased with them one bit, thus leading to daunting paranormal events with the adults and the kids in the family. A definite watch, this is by far one of the most enthralling horror series on Netflix.
3) Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
IMDB Rating: 7.5/10

If you grew up watching Sabrina: The animated series, then this horror series on Netflix is bound to make you nostalgic and take you back into the past. Except for this time, Sabrina Spielman is a grown-up real life teen witch and not a comic/animated character anymore. As the name suggests, this series is all about the life of Sabrina Spielman who’s a teen witch and her spooky adventures.
4) Lucifer
IMDB Rating: 8.1/10
Maturity Rating: 16+ Nudity, Substance abuse
Number of Seasons – 5, Episodes – 83
More than horror this is a lighthearted show with a tinge of horror to it. Yes, you’ll get to meet all sorts of characters, ghosts, spirits, evil forces and whatnot but this one’s not going to give you nightmares like the rest. You may get some steamy dreams about Lucifer though. Don’t tell us we didn’t warn you, haha! With a dash of comedy, romance, drama, action & much more, our crime-solving super handsome fallen angel, Lucifer (who by the way loves wine and women), is here to keep you entertained with his newest of antics while he tries to save humanity.

IMDB Rating: 7.1/10
Maturity Rating: 16+ Violence & language
Number of Seasons – 1, Episodes – 3
This mini-series is perfect for that time when you’re in the mood for some horror action but don’t have an eternity to complete a full-length, multiple seasons series. Ghoul itself translates to an evil spirit, the kind that enters graves and feeds on dead bodies. This story too is based on one such ghoul that inhabits the body of a prisoner. Nobody can make sense of the unnatural behaviour exhibited by a new prisoner that is brought to a military detention camp until interrogator Nida Rahim looks to unfold this mystery she’s posed with. An interesting watch, this TV show deserves a spot on your watch list.
7) Typewriter

A light-hearted horror series based in Goa, this one’s a must-watch if you love the beautiful scenery that Goa has to offer. The kids and the dog that are key characters of the story are a treat to watch as well. More than the story itself, it is these factors that make the movie worth a watch. Although a one-time see, we are sure you can squeeze some time out for its visual treats. This one won’t give you any scary nightmares or chills down your spine, but it sure will keep you intrigued enough to watch all 5 episodes right till the end.
8) Marianne
