This is Hallow-stream, this is Hallow-stream...
Netflix has put the power directly in your hands when it comes to choosing what to waste your life on in the film and TV world. And now Halloween is coming up, the selection is better than ever for that premium spooky content - but with great choice, comes great responsibility.
What's a tasty treat, and what's a nasty trick? What's really worth sinking seven share bags of crisps, and a diet of pure takeaway pizza, and a hours-long binging into when it really comes down to it? What are the ultimate Halloween films our Lord and Saviour Netflix has to offer?
Slap on your fake blood and settle down for the evening, as these are the films you can really sink your teeth into on UK Netflix this Halloween. Or, you know, the ones that will sink their teeth into you...
10. The Boy
When a nanny is hired to look after an 8 year old boy, she expects him to be, well y'know, a boy - but instead she's faced with all things creepy and porcelain as an older couple reveal they lost their son 20 years ago. Having a doll in his place, and strict routine for his care, helps them cope with the grief they've been living with ever since. Or at least, that's the story they spin for Greta to stay and help...
Is it really Halloween if we're not seeing Chucky, or Annabelle, or some other terrifying child's toy come to life and wreak havoc on all those around them? The Boy provides a fresh new twist on the old haunted doll tope, serving up some delicious tension and batsh*t narrative deviations in the process.
Don't turn your back on anything remotely human looking, and it won't come to get you. And avoid old English country houses, since they always seem to be a problem, for good measure.
