Netflix Spooky Documentaries You Need To Watch

Yes, the classic Halloweentown and Twitches are essential to the fall season or, if you're feeling a little spookier, The Shining or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are great. But, for those documentary-fiends, sometimes the real-life horror stories are even more scary. Here are my top picks for Netflix spooky content.


1. Abducted in Plain Sight

Netflix


This documentary is truly one of the most shocking and crazy stories I have ever heard. Taking place in Idaho, this documentary follows the true events of Jan Broberg's kidnappings. Hear how her family friend abducted her twice and manipulated her adolescence.


2. Unsolved Mysteries

Netflix


This reboot has taken the world by storm. Ranging from true accounts of murder, disappearance, and even UFO sightings, there is an episode for everyone. Also, as more people have watched the show, awareness and tips have been piling in on many of the unsolved cases. In fact, the original show's exposure led to solving 260 cases throughout the years.


3. Evil Genius

Prior to watching this documentary, I had never heard of the extremely strange and somewhat recent events in Erie, Pennsylvania. The documentary goes in depth with the mastermind behind the 2003 attempted bank robbery, where a pizza delivery driver walked into a bank, holding detailed instructions, and had a bomb attached to his neck. Each episode gets crazier and crazier, as journalist Trey Borzillieri communicates with the mastermind behind bars.


4. Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This documentary blew up a few years ago and even had a movie made after it, starring Zac Efron and Lily Collins. The stories of serial killer Ted Bundy and, even more shocking, the lead up to his multiple arrests, is mind-boggling and spine-chilling.


5. Wild Wild Country

Wild Wild Country covers the highly-controversial cult in Oregon. It's fascinating, includes real footage from the leader Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, and provides insight on how much mind-manipulation and dedication went into forming his cult.


6. Don't F**ck With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer

Netflix


Perhaps one of the most bizarre and twisted real-life true crime stories I have ever heard of. After a video goes viral of someone torturing cats, a Facebook group investigates and uncovers disturbing tips on the suspect. It only continues to escalate every episode as the man hunt grows closer and closer. I could not stop watching and was so invested in the ending.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
