Spooky Dramas

kay Author

I’m not a fan of scary or horror themed dramas but since it is almost Halloween I wanted to try the genre out.

Does anyone have any recommendations for “spooky” dramas? By that I mean it can be psychological/a character study (like Flower of Evil), involves spooky adjacent things (like how Oh My Ghost or Goblin has well...ghosts) or just pure creepy dramas.

I was thinking of watching The Guest, Save Me, Kingdom, or Strangers From Hell but I could not pick between them.

Feel free to suggest any other drama (from anywhere) that are generally creepy but they can honestly be of any genre. For example, Oh My Ghost or He’s Coming To Me are about ghosts but it’s also comedic/romantic. I’m also a bigger fan of psychology/crime/thrillers than I am of straight up gore so as long as it has the possibility of making me feel uneasy I’m down to give it a try. Also they can be of any length!

  • The Guest (this one is the scariest one I have watched and the story is pretty good)

involves spooky adjacent things :

  • The Master's Sun
  • Hotel de Luna
  • Bring it on ghost

 psychological/a character study 

  • Hello Monster

They aren't necessarily frightening, but do essentially fit the entire horror genre to a certain degree, and even contain psychological elements as well.  

Shokuzai (2012)
Border (2014)
Girl From Nowhere (2018)
The Fearless (2019)
The Cursed (2020)
Ju-on: Noroi no le (2020)
After Dark (2020)

I would also say to watch The Guest first if you want to watch something to accompany the upcoming days until Halloween.

Definitely watch The Guest. Very spooky and awesome story and characters.

Second on that list is Kingdom. Though if you are like me who hates seasonal shows, then skip it for now. Two season are out, but there is a possible season 3.

Strangers from Hell is like more like psychological Horror. Very spooky and just one mind freak awesome show.  

Haven't watched Save Me. So i can say much on it. But another spooky horror drama to watch is probably Soul, The Fearless, Border, Missing.
