10 Scariest Horror Shows of the 2020s You Definitely Haven't Watched

10. All of Us Are Dead (2022)

Coming straight from South Korea, All of Us Are Dead mixes two interesting and seemingly all too different genres: high-school drama and zombie apocalypse. In this TV show, a local high school becomes ground zero for the zombie virus outbreak, and the students are struggling to escape its territory, revealing their true colors.

You can watch All of Us Are Dead on Netflix and Apple TV.

9. The Midnight Club (2022)

Death is always sad, but when it takes away those who are still so young, it feels much worse. Eight friends in a hospital for terminally ill young adults find solace in gathering at nights and sharing their scary stories. They make a pact that the first of them who dies will contact the other from beyond the grave… And then it happens.

8. Sweet Home (2020)

Another South Korean arrival, Sweet Home is set in a depressing apartment complex where a loner teenager lives after having lost his family in a tragic accident. Just as he loses all reason to live and wants to take his own life, the world is shaken up by monsters’ attack, and he joins forces with his new neighbors to survive.

7. Archive 81 (2022)

Some jobs just aren’t what they look like, and we’re not talking about your average office. When an archivist is hired to restore a grad student’s documentary project, the last thing he expects to find on her tapes is an investigation into a dangerous cult. Suddenly, he’s entangled in a conspiracy, trying to learn about the author’s death…

6. From (2022)

Small-town horrors always hit differently, especially, when there’s no escape. From follows the lives of unwilling inhabitants of a nightmarish town in the middle of the US. Those who enter it can’t ever leave, and while they can maintain an illusion of normality when the sun is up, it’s a whole different story once the darkness settles in.

You can watch From on Max, Netflix, and Prime Video.

5. American Horror Stories (2021)

If the title of this show looks awfully familiar, don’t worry: neither you have gone insane nor did the showrunners plagiarize American Horror Story. See, American Horror Stories is its spin-off that further develops the idea of the ultimate anthology, releasing an entirely standalone horror episode every week. A neat collection, this.

You can watch American Horror Stories on ABC, Hulu, and Disney Plus.

4. The Outsider (2020)

A gruesome murder of a young boy. An active investigation. Fingerprints point at the perfect suspect — if not for the security footage that proves he was miles away from the scene at the time of the crime. Diving deeper into the facts, the detectives can’t shake off the feeling that something insidious and supernatural is happening…

You can watch The Outsider on Max, Hulu, Apple TV, and Prime Video.

3. The Fall of the House of Usher ( 2023)

The head of a powerful and prosperous pharmaceutical empire is stuck in a legal battle for his company’s crimes and things are going well for him — until the rivaling lawyer claims he has an insider, and the magnate’s heirs start dying left and right. Now, he’s desperate to save his children and learn who is behind their deaths.

You can watch The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix.

2. The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)

Old manors are quite intimidating at night, aren’t they? In 1987, a young American woman gets hired as a nanny for two charming kids living in a lavish mansion. She realizes something’s off when she learns about the previous nanny’s death, and then as night falls, the kids start behaving uncannily differently from what she expected…

You can watch The Haunting of Bly Manor on Netflix and Apple TV.

1. Midnight Mass (2021)

The perfect proof that Gothic horrors are still undead and well in modern days, Midnight Mass follows the lives of a small isolated island’s inhabitants. There used to be little excitement in them, but ever since a charismatic young priest set foot on the island, it’s been suddenly filled with miraculous events and terrifying omens.
