It’s Friday and you know what that means; lock your doors, bolt your windows and turn out the lights for at least 48 hours. Welcome back to New on Netflix, your weekly update on the spooky films and TV shows added to Netflix’s library. The streaming giant’s horror department has always been a mixed bag. However, I’d say they’ve really stepped up their game in the last couple of years with the release of amazing, essential watches. We’ve been treated to must see original programming like The Haunting of Hill House, Velvet Buzzsaw, Hush, and some of the classics we all know and love.
This week we have a fun list featuring everyone’s favorite movie rental store, a husband being framed for his wife’s murder, a scandal, a cover up and a deadly nanny.
