#1 Agatha All Along
She’s insidious, so perfidious! She’s Agatha Harkness, and she’s back with a vengeance. For those who relish a good villain, Agatha’s comeback is as dark and twisted as you’d expect. After losing her powers, Agatha was cursed to live out her days as a quirky housewife.
When a mysterious teenager breaks her curse, he thrusts her back into the tempting grip of chaos magic, and introduces her to the Witches’ Road – a dark path of trials that promises to restore what she’s lost, but only if she can face its twisted challenges.

#2 The Judge from Hell
They say that a judge’s only obligation is to the law, but what happens when there’s something a little more sinister hiding behind the strike of her gavel? Judge Bitna (Park Shinhye) has become infamous for dishing out extremely light sentences, but little do the public know about her ulterior motives.
Bitna is secretly on a mission to drag ten souls into the depths of hell, and she’s been remarkably successful – until Detective Daon (Kim Jaeyeong) enters the scene. His kind and gentle demeanour unexpectedly stirs romantic feelings in Bitna, complicating her agenda. Will she complete her mission, or will Detective Daon turn her plans upside down?
#3 The First Omen
The First Omen is a must-watch for horror fans, especially those familiar with the 1976 classic, The Omen. Set in the early 70s in Rome, The First Omen follows Margaret Daino, who arrives at the Vizzardeli Orphanage, eager to take her vows and begin her life as a devoted nun.
However, things quickly take a sinister turn – on a fateful night out, Margaret finds herself entangled in the orphanage’s dark history, with the sudden occurrences of fatal pregnancies and suicides. As she finds herself digging deeper for information, Margaret uncovers the chilling secrets beneath the church and finds that evil can come in many different forms – including the very arms that welcome you home.
#4 The Boogeyman
You should always be careful of who you let into your home – if you’re lucky, it could be a friendly stranger, and if you’re not, it could be something much more sinister; like The Boogeyman.
After the death of their mother, the Harper family find themselves struggling to fight their way out of their grief. Will, a father and psychiatrist, allows patient Lester Billings into his home, which ultimately ends in a tragic suicide. Following Lester’s death, sisters Sadie and Sawyer hear thumps in the night, groans of anguish, and flashes of monstrous features, eventually finding themselves caught in a cat-and-mouse chase with a creature that resides in their home.
As grief intertwines with horror, The Boogeyman is a must-watch for those who enjoy a twisted tale.
#5 Fresh
When picking up your raw produce at the supermarket, think of this: where was it sourced from? How was it sourced? Was this meat really grass-fed, or… was their last meal a bowl of noodles from a romantic date?
Fresh follows a chronically single Noa, dipping her toes into the dating game. Frustrated with the ever-disappointing selection of dates, she’s nearly ready to give up her romantic pursuits until she runs into Steve at the grocery store. As luck would have it, they hit it off right away.
After a promising first date, Noa follows Steve for a trip out of town. The wonderful weekend getaway ends with Noa waking up in an unfamiliar room, realising that the “perfect guy” she thought she’d found isn’t perfect at all – as it turns out, he’s a butcher with a taste for human meat.
#6 American Horror Stories
For those who enjoy their horror in smaller, yet equally chilling doses, American Horror Stories are a must-watch. This series delivers a variety of spooky tales, showcasing award-winning actors in gripping, original stories that also tie back to its predecessor, American Horror Story.
From haunted houses to cannibals that hide in the trees of unsuspecting forests, American Horror Stories is certified binge-worthy with three seasons under its belt – just remember to keep the lights on, you never know where the Rubber Man could be hiding.
