Why Is It Scary: This fall sunder the disturbingly scary category, as the horror here is more quirky than it is outright terrifying. Still, David Lynch is a master of atmospheric horror and that’s never been more true than in his bizarro masterpiece.

Crazyhead
Year: 2016-Present
Plot: Two women in their early twenties — Amy and Raquel — attempt to find out who they want to be in life while battling real life demons as well.
Starring: Cara Theobold, Susan Wokoma
Why Is It Scary: Think ‘Shaun of the Dead’ but gender-reversed and more modern. The show is all about a pair of young women trying to find their way in life while also battling external demons as hard as the internal ones. It’s a newer show to Netflix, but one that should catch on with anyone looking for a spooky, funny time.
