When we say that Netflix has something for everyone it is true for fans of all genres but especially true for the horror genre fans. With an incredible creator like Mike Flanagan who made brilliant horror shows and movies, Netflix has abundant peak horror content. So, today we thought of listing what we thought were the best horror shows on Netflix.
Midnight Mass

[This story contains spoilers from Max’s Full Circle.]
Max’s Full Circle garnered interest even before it premiered due to its star-studded cast. But while viewers may have originally tuned in to see Claire Danes, Dennis Quaid, Timothy Olyphant, Zazie Beetz and Jim Gaffigan, those who stayed with the limited series saw a story take center stage of two Guyanese teenagers stuck in New York and desperately trying to get home.
This “bait-and-switch aspect” is part of what appealed to director Steven Soderbergh when writer Ed Solomon presented the project to him. Soderbergh helmed all six episodes of the series, about the fallout from a botched kidnapping.
“You think it’s about this group of well-off white people being victimized. And then over the course of the show, the whole thing starts to tilt,” Soderbergh told a group of reporters in a June roundtable discussion. “By the end of it, we’re in a very different place than where we started.

Editor’s note: The following article contains spoilers for “Full Circle” Episodes 5 and 6.
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind — even if it brings things full circle. The final episodes of Max’s “Full Circle” from Steven Soderbergh and Ed Solomon reveal a broken cycle of violence, greed, and secrecy that does not ultimately heal from retaliation, but resolution/healing/absolution.
“Full Circle” stars a large ensemble, but the Mahabir side especially spotlights key players at different times. If Episodes 1 and 2 belonged to Aked (Jharrel Jerome), then 3 and 4 were focused on Louis (Gerald Jones) and 5 and 6 spotlight Xavier (Sheyi Cole). Each member of the young crew tasked with doing Savitri’s (Cch Pounder) bidding experiences degrees of panic, fear, and regret after the kidnapping, the specific cocktail of these determining their actions in the final hours. 3 and 4 depict Louis trying to right his wrongs, to return Nicky...

Spoiler Alert: This interview discusses the final episode of “Full Circle,” now streaming on Max.
It’s fitting that everyone ends up back where they started at the conclusion of “Full Circle” – well, everyone that’s not dead or in police custody.
Things comes crashing into each other before those final moments, though. Parallel storylines reach a shared — and complicated — dramatic climax when Louis (Gerald Jones) sneaks into the Browne family’s spacious New York apartment to snag an expensive painting that can give him and his sister, Natalia (Adia), enough leverage to return to their home country Guyana, away from the Mafia war in which they’ve become entangled. But Samantha (Claire Danes) is on the premises, pulling a gun on Louis and demanding that he leave. The two are strangers, but a key exchange sparks a realization for Sam: Louis says he is from Essequibo, a riverside area...

Editors note: the following article contains spoilers for “Full Circle” Episodes 3 and 4.
Nothing is as satisfying as a big TV twist — a jaw-dropping finale or midseason moment that reinforces why the audience gravitated to an exceptional show to begin with, and why they’ll either come back for more or forever crave it.
Max’s “Full Circle” isn’t dealing in excessive convolution — not yet anyway — but Episodes 3 and 4 meter out small twists in just the right dosage, counteracting some slow plot development with clarity about past and current events. Written by Ed Solomon and directed by Steven Soderbergh, “Jared’s Body” divulges more about Nicky (Lucian Zanes) and his connection to the Brownes, while “Safe in the Circle” peels away at the link between the McCusker and Mahabir families.
Episode 3 is the slower of the two for most of its runtime, redeemed toward the end by the reveal that Nicky is Derek’s son.

The Max series “Full Circle” is one of the most ambitious, audacious, and satisfying thrillers to hit streaming in years, an intricately structured and consistently surprising ensemble piece that’s as broad in its scope as it is deep in its insights. The botched kidnapping at the story’s center brings together a wide array of fascinating characters from different backgrounds, ranging from the struggling to the wealthy and from criminals to law enforcement agents working for the U.S. postal service, all of whom are rendered with precise journalistic detail and profound empathy. It’s remarkably complex and complicated — but according to writer Ed Solomon, it was even more complicated in its original conception.

Ed Solomon and Steven Soderbergh’s limited series follows the interconnected lives surrounding a kidnapping in New York City, but those threads are still obscured during the first two episodes which premiered Thursday on Max. Here’s what we know: Savitri Mahabir (Cch Pounder) wants revenge for her brother’s death, and that revenge will be exacted by kidnapping and possibly killing the child of a wealthy white family. Doing this will break the cycle (complete the circle) of her family’s luck and free them of unwanted negative energy.

With “Full Circle,” Steven Soderbergh once again immerses us in a multi-character crime caper. Typical of the director’s work, it’s intricate, obsessed with money, cognizant of sociopolitical realities and astute about human nature (if not super illuminating). This six-episode Max limited series is on the more serious end of the Soderbergh spectrum, “Traffic”-like rather than an “Ocean’s” romp, mousetrap-plotted as opposed to experimental. The overall effect is one of the smart, showy filmmaker doing donuts, but spinning the wheels of a well-tuned Escalade.
Written by Ed Solomon, who also provided the scripts for Soderbergh’s earlier mystery projects “Mosaic” and “No Sudden Move,” “Circle” transfers the basic idea of Akira Kurosawa’s procedural “High and Low” to a contemporary New York City with a much denser population of key characters.

Midway through Steven Soderbergh’s new thriller miniseries Full Circle, Sam Browne (Claire Danes) asks her brooding husband Derek (Timothy Olyphant), “Is there something else going on?” The query comes as the Brownes are dealing with a kidnap threat against their son, an apparent murder, and someone targeting the corporate empire that the couple runs on behalf of Sam’s celebrity chef father, Jeff McCusker (Dennis Quaid).
“You mean more than all this?” an incredulous Derek replies.
So, yes, the Brownes are dealing with a lot. And Soderbergh and writer...

At a time when overall deals are getting the side-eye, no disapproving stares need be sent toward Steven Soderbergh. The Oscar- and Emmy-winning director signed a three-year deal with WarnerMedia in 2020, when Max was still HBO Max and HBO still had exclusive rights to its original library, and he’s continue to deliver throughout the streamer’s tumultuous transition — one film per year, including the third in his trilogy with Channing Tatum (“Magic Mike’s Last Dance”), a buzzy thriller starring Zoë Kravitz (“Kimi”), and a little movie featuring the one-and-only Meryl Streep (“Let Them All Talk”).
For an artist who once thought he was done with filmmaking for good, Soderbergh has become the portrait of reliability. People can quibble over quality — none of his films have garnered the awards attention seen in his early career or the critical adoration of, say, HBO’s “Behind the Candelabra” — but he’s produced thoughtful stories,...

With the presumptive demise of physical media, there’s nothing I’m going to miss quite so much as DVD commentary tracks. It’s less the banal puffery and hagiographic nostalgia of 95 percent of them and more the occasional recording on which somebody would unload with two hours of candor, whether it’s Ben Affleck talking Armageddon or the delicate dance performed by Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Lem Hobbs discussing The Limey.
That Limey commentary track is a spectacular illustration of how great movies can still be made even if two key creative forces aren’t on the same page regarding much of anything. It’s also a reminder of how often the things that Soderbergh does behind the camera aren’t always aligned with whatever might have been the initial goals of whoever wrote the screenplay — and nor need they be, necessarily.

Max is lifting the veil on its upcoming limited thriller series “Full Circle,” the latest collaboration between director Steven Soderbergh and writer Ed Solomon, and the sinister family secrets are about to spill out following a botched kidnapping.
In the trailer, released Wednesday, Claire Danes and Timothy Olyphant frantically respond to an alarming phone call that informs them, “We have your son.” As the couple cooperates with law enforcement, an officer (Zazie Beetz) presses them if the caller perhaps had a Guyanese accent — a suggestion that sends Danes spiraling.
“Does that mean something to you?” Beetz asks Danes at the hint of Guyana.
The trailer then lays eyes on Cch Pounder, who appears to be operating a tight ship in an upcoming plot devised for a specific intention, saying “You do exactly what I’ve instructed you to do and the balance will be restored.”

Claire Danes, Zazie Beetz, Timothy Olyphant, Dennis Quaid and more of the cast of Max’s Full Circle hit the red carpet in New York City on Sunday to celebrate the premiere of their upcoming series.
One thing the entire cast agreed on was how great it was to work with director Steven Soderbergh and how he was a big part of why they wanted to join the thriller in the first place.
“It was really special,” Olyphant told The Hollywood Reporter of working with the Oscar-winning filmmaker on the project that launches July 13. “I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I’ve never seen anything like him. … I don’t take this lightly, he really just does it in a way that I’ve never seen anyone do it.”
He continued, “Anytime you’re around someone you’re like, ‘Oh, I didn’t know you could do it that way.

The first teaser for Steven Soderbergh’s return to TV for limited series “Full Circle” has finally arrived, and we’re questioning everything.
The limited series, which premieres July 13 on Max, follows couple Clare Danes and Dennis Quaid as they search for their kidnapped son amid some shady coincidences.
In the teaser, Danes receives an ominous phone call from a caller who calmly informs her “we have your son.” Danes immediately alerts the authorities and the family gears up for an intense day of questions.
“I just wanted to asked about the ties between you, your family and Guyana,” an investigator (Zazie Beetz) asks Danes. “They’re all hiding sh-t,” she later tells her team. As the detectives dig further, it’s apparent that everything is connected.

The Midnight Club has met an early demise. Netflix has cancelled the mystery-thriller series, but one of the show's creators, Mike Flanagan, has given viewers a glimpse into what would have happened in season two.
Debuting in October, The Midnight Club was created by Flanagan and Leah Fong and is based on the works of Christopher Pike. It stars Iman Benson, Igby Rigney, Ruth Codd, Annarah Cymone, Chris Sumpter, Adia, Aya Furukawa, Sauriyan Sapkota, Matt Biedel, Samantha Sloyan, with Zach Gilford and Heather Langenkamp. The story takes place at a hospice for terminally ill young adults. Every night at midnight, eight patients come together to tell each other stories. They also make a pact that the next of them to die will give the group a sign from the beyond. Read More…...

Almost immediately following the news that Mike Flanagan and producing partner Trevor Macy would be leaving Netflix and heading over to Amazon Studios as part of a new overall deal, the streaming giant announced that they would not be pursuing a second season of "The Midnight Club," Flanagan's recent teen-horror series based on the books of Christopher Pike. The news was unfortunate but not all that surprising, especially as "The Midnight Club" didn't pull in as high critical reception as his previous series like "The Haunting of Hill House" or "Midnight Mass," but it certainly still had a pretty dedicated fanbase of younger viewers. The show centered on a group of terminally ill young adults who meet each night at midnight to trade scary stories, which provided a vehicle for other Pike stories to be told.

Mike Flanagan kept his word and has revealed the answers to burning questions from the cliffhanger ending of “The Midnight Club,” following Netflix’s decision to cancel the show after one season.
“It’s a shame we won’t get to make it, but it would be a bigger shame if you guys simply had to live with the unanswered questions and the cliffhanger ending,” the executive producer and co-creator wrote in a Friday Tumblr post. He shared it on the heels of Thursday’s news that Netflix has opted not to pick up “The Midnight Club” for Season 2, just as Flanagan and producing partner Trevor Macy move their overall deal from Netflix to Amazon.
“The Midnight Club,” which launched Oct. 7, consisted of 10 episodes, the first of which broke the world record for most jump scares in a TV episode.

This article contains spoilers for The Midnight Club.
With the cancellation of The Midnight Club after its first season, it seems as though Mike Flanagan’s Netflix era may be coming to a close. The upcoming limited series The Fall of the House of Usher appears to be Flanagan’s last TV project under his pact with Netflix, and he and his Intrepid Pictures Partner Trevor Macy just signed an overall TV deal with Amazon.
While most of Flanagan’s Netflix projects were designed to be one season miniseries, he had at least one more season in mind to tell The Midnight Club’s story and left some things unanswered on purpose. Even though we won’t get to see the story of Brightcliffe continue onscreen, Flanagan was kind enough to share answers to questions left by season 1 as well as how he and Leah Fong hoped to end the second season on tumblr.

Of all the shows Mike Flanagan and his production company Intrepid Pictures made for Netflix – The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, The Midnight Club, and the upcoming The Fall of the House of the Usher – the Christopher Pike-inspired The Midnight Club was the only one that was designed to be an ongoing series. The finale left the story wide open to continue… so of course Netflix went ahead and cancelled it. But Flanagan had said that if the show wasn’t renewed, he would go online and spill all of the details on what they had planned for season 2. True to his word, Flanagan took to Tumblr to reveal the Midnight Club season 2 plans soon after Netflix confirmed the show is over.

The Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong-created series “The Midnight Club” marked the first Netflix series for Flanagan that was intended to continue over multiple seasons, which meant that the inaugural season ended with multiple unresolved storylines and cliffhangers.
The news of the series cancellation leaves fans disappointed that those loose ends will remain unresolved, or does it?
Flanagan fulfilled his promise on Twitter not to leave fans hanging in the wake of the cancellation news, providing detailed plans for what we would’ve seen had season two come to pass.
In a blog post, Flanagan answers the mysteries of Dr. Stanton (Heather Langenkamp) and her ties to Brightcliffe Hospice’s cult past, the true identity of the Janitor (Robert Longstreet), what the Shadow is, and the fates of central characters introduced in the inaugural season.
More than wrapping up story threads, Flanagan reveals more Pike novels planned for the second season.

Mike Flanagan soared to horror success with his Netflix features, The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass. The director then tried his hand at capturing a younger audience with his first series, The Midnight Club. The show is adapted from the work of author Christopher Pike.

Netflix has opted not to renew “The Midnight Club” for a second season, TheWrap has learned exclusively. The YA horror-thriller series was co-created and executive produced by Mike Flanagan, along with creator Leah Fong, based on Christopher Pike’s creative works.
“The Midnight Club” premiered on Netflix on Oct. 7 to both positive critics’ and audience reviews; however, it only remained on the Netflix Top 10 for three weeks. At the end of the day, viewership numbers stacked up unfavorably with series cost. Upon its debut on the chart, it was ranked at No. 4, with 18.8 million hours viewed. It gained traction in week two with 49.9 million viewing hours, peaking at No. 3. After sliding back to No. 5 in its third week, the series dropped off the list entirely in week four, facing heavy competition from “The Watcher,” “Dahmer,” “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities,” “From Scratch” and “Big Mouth,” among other titles.

Mike Flanagan’s long-awaited adaptation of The Midnight Club has finally made its way to Netflix. Geared at a slightly younger audience, the series is an adaptation of Christopher Pike‘s novel about five teenagers living out their final days at Brightcliffe Manor, a hospice for terminal youth. Each night they gather in the ornate library to tell scary stories, creating ghosts as they wait to become them. At just over 200 pages, the slim novel is a moving story of love, friendship, and death; perfect for Flanagan’s patented blend of sentimental horror.
True to form, the writer and director, along with co-creator Leah Fong, injected the original story with new characters, amplified plotlines, and extra moments of terror, expanding the narrative to deepen Pike’s original themes.

Episode 10 of Netflix’s “The Midnight Club,” aptly titled “Midnight,” ritualistically delivers on a plethora of promises the series made early on in the season: We learn quasi-cult leader Shasta’s (Samantha Sloyan) backstory; Sandra (Annarah Cymone), who was revealed to have a false terminal diagnosis, leaves Brightcliffe; Kevin (Igby Rigney) finally finishes his ever-winding tale of a teen forced to kill due to a generational curse, and Ilonka (Iman Benson) concludes her story about the bond between witch mother and daughter. Oh, and the two lovesick fools finally kiss!
But in the last moments of the episode, Dr. Georgina Stanton (“A Nightmare on Elm Street’s” Heather Langenkamp) — who had just rebuked Ilonka for her dangerous involvement with Shasta’s iteration of the mysterious Paragon — takes off her wig, revealing a bald head...

Mike Flanagan typically shies away from jump scares in his horror, but he’s breaking all the rules with Netflix’s “The Midnight Club.”
The premiere episode of Flanagan’s latest series, co-created with Leah Fong, just set a Guinness World Record for the most scripted jump scares in a single episode of television.
“The Midnight Club” is available to stream now on Netflix.
The episode that earned the distinction, “The Final Chapter,” clocks in 21 jump scares in rapid succession during a very J-horror inspired tale. Flanagan and his creative team were presented with a certificate by a Guinness representative for the accomplishment.
Flanagan told Deadline in a statement, ““I thought, ‘We’re going to do all of them at once, and then if we do it right, a jump scare will be rendered meaningless for the rest of the series.’ It’ll just destroy it. Kill it finally until it’s dead,...

“To those before, to those after. To us now and to those beyond. Seen or unseen, here but not here.” So goes the axiom that opens every story told by the patients of Brightcliffe Manor under the lights of the converted hospice’s hazy library fireplace in Netflix’s “The Midnight Club.”
Co-created and executive produced by Mike Flanagan, who counts the YA horror sci-fi series as his fourth at the streamer, the show marks a majority of the ensemble members’ first in their acting repertoire. For its main cast, the “pressure” to deliver to Flanagan’s fanbase (carried over from “The Haunting of Hill House” to “The Haunting of Bly Manor” and “Midnight Mass”) was real, but it’s one that they handled together and in stride, not unlike the eponymous crew they portray in the pulsating show.

Whether you are a '90s kid or just came to respect the era thanks to the resurgence of its most prominent fashion trends and music, you'll love "The Midnight Club." The Netflix show follows a group of eight terminally ill patients at a hospice-care center called Brightcliffe in the '90s. They tell each other scary stories every night, each promising to send the group a sign from beyond the grave if they die. But along the way, haunting secrets about Brightcliffe are revealed.
The new show, which hit Netflix on Oct. 7, doesn't waste any time embracing the nostalgia. In the opening scenes, Iman Benson's character, Ilonka, hits up a college party, where "Insane in the Brain" by Cypress Hill plays over the loudspeakers. Later, when she learns she has terminal cancer, she uses a truly vintage desktop computer with dial-up internet to Yahoo search "surviving thyroid cancer.

In 2017, a little-known Australian author published an unforgettable book about dying — not death, mind you, but dying. Diagnosed with Stage IV cancer, Cory Taylor’s memoir isn’t about how she “fights” for her life or “battles” a disease; it’s about grounding an experience that, one way or another, we’ll all share. “Dying: A Memoir” acknowledges the dread and sadness surrounding our ultimate fate, but the author steers her story toward advocacy over despair. She wishes more people could acknowledge the simple reality of death with empathy, acceptance, and an open dialogue. After all, it’s far more acceptable to reject news of a loved one’s damning diagnosis — “You’ll beat this thing” or “Don’t talk like that” — than to face the fear together via a real, practical exchange. And for those soon departing, spending your last days hoping and searching for a miracle isn’t...

It makes sense why Christopher Pike’s 1994 novel, The Midnight Club, would appeal to Mike Flanagan. Its esoteric ruminations on death and storytelling feel like a natural extension of themes explored in Midnight Mass, only for a younger audience in mind. Series creators Flanagan and Leah Fong repurpose some of Pike’s prolific catalog, using The Midnight Club as a centerpiece, to explore what it means to live and die through stories.

Review: It probably goes without saying that at this point, people are going to watch The Midnight Club simply because Mike Flanagan’s name is attached to it. After the acclaim for The Haunting of Hill House, Flanagan’s The Haunting of Bly Manor was met with a slightly less enthusiastic welcome. But, Flanagan’s Midnight Mass was a masterpiece of storytelling. If the pattern holds, The Midnight Club would be a weaker entry into the horror maestro’s oeuvre of shows.

A Guinness World Record for the most scripted jump scares in a single episode of television has a claimant. Coincidentally, it’s a new series premiering on Netflix.
Series cocreator Mike Flanagan and his creative team were presented with a certificate honoring the new record of 21 jump scares at Netflix New York headquarters on Thursday. That’s just a day before his new series, The Midnight Club, bows on the streamer.
A representative for Guinness, adjudicator Andrew Glass, was in attendance to make it official.
Flanagan isn’t really a fan of jump scares, but decided he’d shut up those clamoring for more of them by going over the top in the new series.
“I thought, ‘We’re going to do all of them at once, and then if we do it right, a jump scare will be rendered meaningless for the rest of the series.

Mike Flanagan has faced his worst fear: The jump scare.
The “Midnight Mass” and “Haunting of Hill House” mastermind packed 21 separate instances of the classic horror trope into the premiere of his latest Netflix series, “The Midnight Club,” a tally so high it actually breaks the Guinness World Record for “most scripted jump scares in a single television episode.”
A Guinness World Record official presented Flanagan and Co. their certificate for the achievement during the “Midnight Club’s” New York Comic Con panel Thursday night, which included a preview of the premiere episode ahead of the show’s Friday launch.
“This is particularly important to me because I hate jump scares and I think they are the worst,” Flanagan told reporters during a press conference earlier Thursday. “My whole career, people have been like, put more jump scares in, and do them faster!”

The name "Mike Flanagan" might as well be a license to print money these days, with "The Haunting of Hill House," "The Haunting of Bly Manor," "Midnight Mass," "Gerald's Game," "Doctor Sleep," and just about anything else he's ever put his name on developing massive and dedicated fanbases. For the most part, Flanagain deals with the horrors of adulthood, but his new Netflix series "The Midnight Club" has him firmly in the teen sphere. Based on the book of the same name by prolific YA horror author Christopher Pike, "The Midnight Club" sees a group of terminally ill youngsters sharing scary stories with one another in hospice to pass the time, coming face to face with the ghastly horrors of their own creation.

Another teen horror mystery is heading to Netflix this fall, and it's taking scary stories to a whole new level. During Netflix's Geeked Week on June 6, the streamer released the first look at its previously announced series "The Midnight Club," a TV adaptation of Christopher Pike's 1994 young-adult novel of the same name. Then, on Sept. 20, Netflix dropped the creepy first trailer for the series with a '90s-infused soundtrack to match the setting.
In it, a college-bound girl played by Iman Benson learns that she has terminal cancer. She's sent to Brightcliffe, a hospice with the aesthetics of a boarding school that caters to teenagers. She learns that most of the other residents have been there for a few months already. Eventually, she wants to explore the basement. She finds out the other residents have a club where they go to the library and tell ghost stories.
