For this year’s Halloween, Netflix has launched the Enter If You Dare collection of movies; this follows last year’s spooky special, Stream and Scream. The 2023 set includes the following genres: All the Scares, Light on the Gore, Dark Films, Psychological Horror Movies, Werewolf Horror Movies and Zombies, Vampires and Ghouls, as well as many others.
There’s also a category called ‘The Flanaverse’, which is the collective name given by fans to all the movies and series of Mike Flanagan, the horror master who has had a decade-long working relationship with Netflix. He is the mind behind The Haunting of Hill House and the upcoming show, The Fall of the House of Usher. His code is: 81642617.
The new collection also comes with new artwork featuring references to the hit spooky Netflix originals Stranger Things and Wednesday. Classic horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, is also given a nod.
