Firstly, to clarify, the title contained the words “autumn” and “chill” combined. It may not be the best combination, but there’s always a new word to add to the dictionary with me. However, words and word combinations are not the discussion in this article, but rather the recommendations for those chilly Autumn evenings inside with Netflix on the television or laptop.
The Craft
This 1996 witchcraft classic is sure to set those autumn vibes just right. A new girl in a new school being welcomed into a new group of friends, what could possibly go wrong? Not a lot can go wrong, but when this new group of friends turn out to be a coven practicing witchcraft against the people who they don’t like then a lot could go wrong. Especially when Sarah, the new girl, has greater powers than the rest of the girls. Neve Campbell and Skeet Ulrich from Wes Craven’s Scream franchise also play part in the movie; characters we already love on the big screen. Witch vibes in autumn; added to ‘My List.’
Conversations with a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes
Autumn time is always dedicated to documentaries; specifically, the ones that arouse our curiosity about the true horror stories of some of America’s most infamous serial killers and their horrifying cases. The Gacy tapes have the audio of John Wayne Gacy giving a detailed account of his life and his career and how he was loved by all who met him, but it takes a horrifying turn when we’re led into the discovery of thirty-three bodies buried under his house. A shocking yet gripping watch on Netflix.
Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes
Another brilliant documentary to add to the list, if learning about gruesome killings is your guilty pleasure; I know it’s mine. Listening to how these men tell their story and try to make it sound like what they did was perfectly normal is something I’ll never understand. Although anxiety levels are high when watching tapes such as these, I find it very enlightening how these men were put away or sentenced to death through the death penalty. Like Bundy, it is extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile.
Life
A new addition to the Netflix family starring Ryan Reynolds, Rebecca Ferguson and Jack Gyllenhaal; all fan favourites in the movie world, star in this space-based movie. The crew of astronauts and doctors have been on journey to visit Mars to collect samples from the planet’s environment only to realise they found evidence of life on Mars through a sample, but their new friend “Calvin” makes it clear it’s not here to make friends. Perhaps what is found on Mars stays on Mars.
The Devil in Ohio
A brand new and limited Netflix series has graced our screens recently with a name that is sure to pull you in. Nothing gives Autumn vibes like a girl running through a corn-field trying to escape a cult with a carved in pentagram on her back. Only halfway through it, but it’s worth a watch and it’ll keep you guessing about what will happen next. You can never know with a cult?
