Give me your best recommendations! I’m looking for anything a bit dark/spooky…

movies, TV shows, podcasts about true crime, paranormal investigations … fictional is also good - any horror, crime or thriller movies/series I should see?

I feel I’ve seen it all already. Need new ideas!

I promise I’m a generally normal person but I just can’t get enough of this stuff for some reason 😂

Mindhunter was the very best thing I ever watched on Netflix.

Firefightress1 · 14/05/2023 15:54

I love true crime on you tube.
My favs are This is Monsters, Dreading and Truly Criminal. Great to see its not just me that loves listening to these, my hubbie thinks I'm weird 😂

That Chapter
MurderMysteryandMakeUp (Bailey Sarian)
MrBallen
ChristinaRandell (not everyone would like her, but I bloody adore her and her mistakes and her mispronunciations)
Zara V
Stephanie Harlow (only downside is that some of her videos are loooooong)
Georgia Marie is my new one that I've discovered

I fancy watching Girl in the Basement. I can see that Paramount do a free 7 day trial. Does anyone know how straightforward this is to cancel? Thanks.

It's really easy! I cancelled as soon as I signed up but you still get the full month x

Mind hunter is hands down one of the best crime series I’ve watched. I am gutted they’re not making another season.

MrBallen is my all time favourite crime/spooky YouTuber. Love him! Enjoy Bailey Sarian too & Danielle Kirsty is really good & Bella Fiori

I've just added mrballen! Love a good revommendation.

NurseCranesRolodex · 14/05/2023 16:35

The Staircase - Netflix documentary absolutely fascinating true crime

@Firefightress1

Thank you! ☺️

BloodandGlitter · 14/05/2023 16:38

I don't know how no one has mentioned From! It's an amazing horror series about people trapped in a town they can't leave and every night these "people" appear and kill anyone caught outside in horrific ways. It's really good and season 2 is currently airing.

CassTheFox · 14/05/2023 16:40

Blackbird, on Apple TV. It’s absolutely brilliant, my jaw hit the floor when I found out it’s based on a true story!!

Haunting of Hill house on Netflix is very creepy

MarpleFan · 14/05/2023 16:42

Another vote for Uncanny/anything by Danny Robins on Radio 4 - I’m addicted!

IndigoSkye · 14/05/2023 16:43

The night owl podcast is brilliant for paranormal investigations.

Rosieposy89 · 14/05/2023 16:55

Podcasts: Morbid, Two Girls One Ghost, Real Life Ghost Stories

coxesorangepippin · 14/05/2023 16:57

Making a murder is excellent

On netflix

Greenqueen40 · 14/05/2023 16:59

Podcasts - Seeing Red & I Could Murder A Podcast, plus Uncanny/Battersea Poltergeist/Witch Farm/Boy in the woods (all on bbc sounds)

CarbonNeutral · 14/05/2023 17:40

Ooh didn't realise there was a second season of Evil. That's my night sorted 👍

And yes Afterlife was excellent, had Andrew Lincoln in it as well, pre walking dead. I've found a few eps on you tube but not all unfortunately. Such a good show, and quite creepy!

I haven't got into Bella Fiori yet.

Some of the women do upward inflections as though they are reading from a list and it drives me crackers. It's such a shame as they have excellent content.

ADHDDDDDDDBOOM · 14/05/2023 17:58

Oh also YouTube, Sherrilyn Dale, love her as as well.

efeslight · 14/05/2023 18:00

Also a Fan of Mr Ballen, thought Mindhunter was okay.
Didn't like American Horror Story, but only watched 1 Episode so judged it quickly!

If you're into dark and spooky content, especially about paranormal phenomena, crime, and thrillers, I've got a perfect suggestion for you. Check out the website alphanovel.io/novels/paranormal for an extensive collection of paranormal novels that delve into mysterious and eerie themes. It's a treasure trove for those seeking a fresh and gripping experience in the realm of supernatural fiction. Explore the unknown and satisfy your craving for the mysterious through the captivating narratives found. Happy reading)

I absolutely love the Lovecraft Investigations podcasts - more occult than paranormal but still so good! Fictional but includes real life people/events too.
