NETFLIX and CHILLS

Halloween is slowly creeping around the corner and is ready to get you in a spooky mood.

If this year you are not thinking of partying dressed up as your favourite movie character or notorious monster and instead you would rather stay in with popcorn, wine and blankets to watch scary movies and TV shows, then this list is perfect for you.

Netflix is coming out with new Halloween original specials to give you chills on October 31.

The Haunting of the Hill House season one came out on October 12 and follows the Crain family, respectively the five siblings who grew up in what would turn out to be the most famous haunted house in America.

Even though the eldest of the siblings, Steven Crain played by Michiel Huisman, is sceptical of the paranormal activity in the Hill House, he wrote a book about their dreadful childhood in the haunted house.

Twilight’s Elizabeth Reaser plays the eldest sister, Shirley, who ended up working at a mortuary.

The series’ timeline is split between past and present, and throughout the episodes, you can see the events that took place in Hill House and left the family traumatised.

The show is a blend of family, drama and horror with frightening appearances from ghosts and creatures.
