Wondering what to watch on Netflix for a good adrenaline hit? Whether you’re in for a little scare or you’re ready to quake in your boots, Netflix has the series (or movie) for you. But you probably don’t want to show these scary shows to your kids. Harry Potter, yes, but American Horror Story, probably not.
Our pick of the bunch? Stranger Things is not only legitimately spine-chilling, it is also adorable and the most visually-pleasing show on the whole list. Less blood, more bad-ass teenagers and perfectly coiffed hair.

We’ve ordered them from least to most scary.
