As a horror enthusiast with decades of chilling experiences under my belt, I can confidently say that Netflix has been on fire this month, adding some truly spine-tingling content to their catalog. While I’ve managed to keep up with most of the big releases, it’s always the hidden gems that catch me off guard – and boy, have they delivered!

It’s no secret that Netflix constantly adds to its vast streaming catalog. Keeping up with every new addition would be nearly impossible, though it is slightly easier if you’re focused on one genre.

This month, we discussed some major horror titles newly available on Netflix, but over the past week or so, Netflix has quietly added a few unexpected gems to their platform without prior announcement. It’s not uncommon for this to happen, which is why it’s essential to keep an eye out! Here are a couple of additional horror films and series that recently joined Netflix this month that you might have overlooked.

The Dead Don’t Die (2019)

Check out “The Dead Don’t Die,” a zany and amusing zombie film that debuted in 2019 on Netflix. This entertaining flick boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring stars like Adam Driver, Bill Murray, Selena Gomez, Austin Butler, Tilda Swinton, Iggy Pop, and several delightful cameos. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s definitely worth a watch! The movie offers a fresh take on the zombie genre by focusing on a small town as its inhabitants grapple with an invasion of the undead.

The Blue Drum (2022)

Give a new spin to your horror movie viewing experience by checking out the recently added short film titled “The Blue Drum” on Netflix. Following her father’s demise, the protagonist starts experiencing peculiar occurrences that intensify over time. The pivotal event of her father’s funeral unveils hidden family secrets connected to her enigmatic and fragmented memories of a mother she never knew. This gripping short film is ideal for those seeking a compact viewing experience without compromising on the storyline.

Happiness (2021)

If you’re searching for another Korean zombie series to watch as we anticipate the return of “All of Us Are Dead”, you’re in for a treat! On this Thursday, Dec 12th, Netflix will be introducing the 12-episode series titled “Happiness“. In a world plagued by infectious diseases, survivors find themselves battling against a condition that transforms those infected into beings resembling zombies.

The Piano Lesson (2024)

In this compelling drama film, Malcolm Washington skillfully guides the narrative, introducing unsettling turns and twists towards the end of the plotline. If you only knew it as a “family drama,” you might have missed out on it, for The Piano Lesson subtly integrates elements of horror. While it’s not entirely a horror film, it does venture into that realm. The narrative centers around a family grappling with the decision about an ancestral piano and their heritage.

The Dark Tower (2017)

This isn’t strictly a horror film; instead, it’s a sci-fi dark fantasy movie inspired by one of Stephen King’s most renowned book series ever. Although the adaptation has sparked differing viewpoints, given its star-studded cast that includes Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey, it’s seldom an uninteresting choice for viewing.
