Like coffee and breakfast cereals, Netflix also adds a little pumpkin spice flavor to its catalogue in the fall. In the next two months, they’re adding a whole bunch of new horror, thriller, and true crime movies and shows to suit whatever vaguely spooky mood you’re in this Halloween season.
The highlights include a new film based on a Stephen King story titled Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, the Allison Janney action movie Lou, a new documentary series on Jeffrey Dahmer, a new season of Unsolved Mysteries, the fantasy film The School For Good and Evil starring Charlize Theron and Kerry Washington, and the brand new Addams Family TV series from Tim Burton, Wednesday.
