3 suspenseful Netflix horror shows like The Body to watch in a weekend

It's already been another incredible month of new releaes on Netflix, and November hasn't even ended yet. There's plenty more to look forward to before the last month of the year rolls around, including The Altruists and The Hunting Wives, but the Netflix show everyone will talking talking about this week is the teen horror drama The Body.

From creator Quinn Shephard, the coming-of-age supernatural horror series takes place in 2004 on Halloween as a group of Catholic school students find themselves having visions. Before long, others in their school and community experiences a state of hysteria. It's a wild, chilling, and suspenseful eight-episode series that you won't soon forget.

There's no doubt that once you start watching The Body, you won't stop until you have watched the full season. If you're looking for a similar series to add to your watch list, there are so many great Netflix shows that offer the same kind of mysterious spooks, throwback vibes, and academic settings. Here are three Netflix original horror shows to binge-watch in a weekend!

Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen

Netflix has dropped a long list of limited series that we could get enough of in 2026, but one of the best titles that had everyone's minds spinning was the horror series Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen executive produced by Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers.

From creator Haley Z. Boston, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen stars Camila Morrone and Adam DiMarco as engaged couple Rachel and Nicky preparing for their wedding as Nicky's family compound in Upstate New York. However, Rachel stumbles upon a harrowing generational curse.

Across eight episodes, the series explores the Cunningham family lore that demands Nicky must marry his soulmate before sunset on his wedding die or his family will die. The curse could also transfer to Rachel's bloodline. The stakes are high and incredibly spooky.

Devil in Ohio

While Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen isn't a coming of age story, there's another chilling Netflix original thriller miniseries that centers on a mysterious teenager. Back in 2022, the streaming service released Devil in Ohio, which is based on the novel of the same name by Daria Polatin.

Devil in Ohio features Bones star Emily Deschanel as Dr. Suzanne Mathis, a psychiatrist who becomes involved in the case of teenager Mae Dodd (Madeleine Arthur). She has a pentagram on her back, and after Suzanne takes her in, it's discovered Mae left a cult that worships the devil.

The more that Mae's story unravels, the more that her presence among Dr. Mathis' family causes tension and suspense. Devil in Ohio jumps through time and offers similar chills to The Body throughout its own eight-episode run. If you missed this one, it's time to give it a watch!

The Midnight Club

Netflix boasts plenty of other teen-centered horror series, like Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, as well as teen drama without the horror, such as Tiny Pretty Things. But after Prime Video found success with Mike Flanagan's teen horror series Carrie, it's only fitting to recommend his Netflix teen drama.

Based on the 1994 book of the same name by Christopher Pike, The Midnight Club takes place in a hospice facility and centers on a group of eight terminally ill teenagers. The group comes together every night to tell each other scary stories, which we see adapted on screen in the show.

The Midnight Club was unfortunately canceled after only one 10-episode season despite being intended to be a two-season series. But that doesn't make the show any less worth watching, even though there's a cliffhanger ending. Just enjoy the ride full of spine-chilling twists and turns.
