#1 Grotesquerie
Grotesquerie, by definition, refers to a state of unnatural distortion – but in this terrifying show of horror and thrills, that seems like an understatement. When detective Lois Tyron becomes tangled in a series of brutal crimes that hit a little too close to home, she wonders if she’s dealing with something darker than your typical serial killer.
Desperate to put an end to the attacks, she enlists the help of Sister Megan, a nun and journalist with the Catholic Guardian. Unfortunately, they become trapped in a web of mysteries and violence with seemingly no way out.
A ten-episode saga that’s sure to make your toes curl with suspense, Grotesquerie will kickstart your Halloween season with just the right amount of paranoia.
#2 Hold Your Breath
What do you do when evil lurks in the very air you breathe? Where can you hide? How can you escape? Margaret Bellum faces an unimaginable challenge: protecting her children from what she believes is The Grey Man, a sinister figure hiding within the relentless dust storms that plague their Oklahoma home. Her daughter, Rose, warns that he slips through the wooden cracks, manipulating people into committing terrible acts.
Fearing for their lives, Margaret begins to take desperate measures to shield her family. As the unforgiving winds howl outside and haunting visions torment her mind, her reality becomes a nightmare. What will happen when The Grey Man finds his way inside? And when he does, what can you do except Hold Your Breath?

Looking for a ride-or-die bestie? Look no further – you’ve got Mr Crocket! Step into his colourful, cheerful world filled with family-friendly fun, catchy songs, and sing-alongs. Just pop that VHS tape into the player and… hope he doesn’t hurt you.
When an innocent-looking VHS tape mysteriously shows up in her mailbox, Summer decides to introduce her son to the charming world of Mr Crocket, a beloved children’s show host known for his heartwarming nursery rhymes and antics. But as her son starts to grow disturbingly attached to the unassuming tape, Summer makes a horrifying discovery – Mr Crocket has been kidnapping children, and brutally killing their parents in the process.
