What are the scariest movies you've seen on Netflix?
I write movie reviews for a local paper and they'd like me to review something scary for their Halloween edition. I'm not into slasher, gory type movies, but the creepy ones. Suggestions welcome!

(47,474 posts)Created by the guy who did Haunting of Hill House, which is the best haunted house movie/series I ever saw.
The only thing with him is I have to watch more than once to catch everything. There are all kinds of subtle things that go over my head the first time. That's great as far as I'm concerned, because I enjoy watching the episodes again.

I am about to see Midnight Mass.

It caused a real panic when it first aired on BBC, similar to Orson Welles's War of the Worlds.
As you watch, see how many of the hidden 13 ghosts you can find.
ETA: SHOOT! I'm sorry. It isn't on Netflix. But you can get it online.
