Supernatural

1984 · Ivan Reitman · 105 min · Comedy, Fantasy

The original Ghostbusters remains one of the finest comedies of the 1980s, powered by Bill Murray's effortless charm and a concept so perfectly executed that four decades haven't dulled its appeal.

2012 · Action / Stealth · PC / Steam

Dishonored revived the immersive sim genre with its brilliant combination of supernatural powers, player-driven problem solving, and a plague-ravaged world that responds meaningfully to how you choose to navigate it.

2016 · Action / Stealth · PC / Steam

Dishonored 2 is one of the finest immersive sims ever made, expanding on its predecessor with two playable characters, some of the most inventive level design in gaming history, and a sun-drenched southern setting that rivals Dunwall in atmosphere and detail.

2016 · 3 Seasons · Crunchyroll · Animation / Action / Comedy / Supernatural

Mob Psycho 100 is one of the rare anime that gets better with every season and sticks the landing when it matters most. It wraps profound messages about self-acceptance and emotional growth inside some of the most inventive animation the medium has produced, and it does it without ever feeling like it's lecturing you. The humor is sharp, the action is spectacular, and the heart underneath it all is completely genuine. Three seasons wasn't many, but the show used every one of those 37 episodes to say exactly what it wanted to say.

2012 · 2 Seasons · Disney Channel · Animation, Adventure, Comedy

Gravity Falls is a masterfully crafted animated series that layers genuine mystery, sharp humor, and emotional depth into a show that respects its audience regardless of age.

1973 · William Friedkin · 122 min · Horror

The Exorcist set the template for serious horror filmmaking and more than fifty years later, nothing has fully displaced it from that position. William Friedkin built something that functions as both a deeply unsettling horror film and a thoughtful exploration of faith under pressure. Modern audiences may not find it as terrifying as the people who lined up around the block in 1973, but the craft, the performances, and the willingness to treat its subject matter with intelligence rather than exploitation continue to set it apart. It's slower and more demanding than most horror films that followed it, and that's a feature, not a flaw.

1983 · Stephen King · 374 pages · Horror

Pet Sematary is Stephen King's most personal and most disturbing novel, a book he famously considered too dark to publish. It works because the horror isn't supernatural at its core. It's the horror of a parent confronting what they would do to undo the worst thing that could happen. The answer King provides is devastating.

2016 · Adventure / Narrative

Oxenfree on mobile brings one of indie gaming's best narrative adventures to touchscreens with natural-feeling controls and a story that rewards multiple playthroughs. The walk-and-talk dialogue system creates relationships that feel authentic, and the supernatural mystery on Edwards Island builds tension through atmosphere and excellent sound design. The pacing can feel slow during traversal, and the game's quieter moments may test mobile players used to faster experiences. But the writing, voice acting, and choice-driven narrative create something genuinely special that works beautifully on a phone.

2019 · 5 Seasons · BBC One · Comedy

A brilliantly cast ensemble comedy that turns a haunted house into the setting for one of the warmest and funniest British sitcoms in years.

2019 · Action-Adventure · PC / Steam / Epic

Control is a stylish, confident supernatural action game that thrives on atmosphere and mystery, even when its combat encounters and technical performance don't quite match the brilliance of its world-building.

2006 · 1 Season · Nippon Television · Psychological Thriller / Crime / Supernatural

Death Note's first 25 episodes deliver one of the most gripping intellectual duels in anime history, carried by a brilliant premise and two unforgettable characters locked in a battle of wits. The final stretch can't maintain that standard, introducing replacements who never fill the void left by what came before. That unevenness keeps it from perfection, but it doesn't erase what the show accomplished at its peak. For anyone curious about anime or hungry for a psychological thriller that treats its audience as smart, this remains one of the best entry points the medium has ever produced.

2014 · 3 Seasons · HBO · Drama / Mystery

The Leftovers is one of the most emotionally powerful television shows ever made, a series that uses an impossible event as a lens for exploring grief, faith, and the desperate human need to make meaning from loss. The first season is heavy and challenging in ways that turn some viewers away. Seasons two and three represent a dramatic creative leap, delivering television so confident and emotionally devastating that it transforms the entire series into something extraordinary. This is a show that asks for patience and rewards it with an experience that stays with you long after the final episode ends.

2019 · 6 Seasons · FX · Comedy, Horror, Mockumentary

What We Do in the Shadows took a cult film premise and stretched it across six seasons of increasingly absurd vampire comedy without ever losing its bite. The ensemble cast found new ways to mine laughs from centuries-old undead roommates navigating modern Staten Island, and the show's willingness to go bigger and weirder with each season kept it from settling into a comfortable rut. Some later seasons pushed the absurdity past the point where the emotional stakes could keep up, and the mockumentary format occasionally felt more like habit than intention. But at its best, this was one of the funniest shows on television, a comedy that made immortality feel hilariously mundane.

2020 · 3 Seasons · MBS / TBS · Action / Dark Fantasy / Supernatural

Jujutsu Kaisen delivers some of the best animated action sequences in modern anime, powered by a creative magic system and a willingness to let its characters suffer real consequences. MAPPA's production work is frequently stunning, and the show's refusal to pad itself with filler keeps the pace tight across its run. Its villain roster beyond the top tier can feel underdeveloped, and certain character arcs get cut short before they fully land. Still, this is a series that earns its place in the modern shounen conversation through sheer craft, ambition, and an appetite for darkness that most of its peers won't touch.

2023 · Adventure / Narrative

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals builds on the original's atmospheric strengths with a more mature protagonist, expanded world, and a walkie-talkie communication system that deepens the narrative. The supernatural mystery across Camena's coastal landscapes is gripping, and the relationship between Riley and Jacob evolves through player choices in ways that feel authentic. The pacing has the same deliberate quality as the original, and the expanded scope occasionally stretches the narrative thin. But it's a worthy sequel that proves the Oxenfree formula works just as well with adult characters facing adult fears.

2013 · James Wan · 112 min · Horror

The Conjuring is a masterfully crafted haunted house film that proves old-school scares still work when executed with this level of skill. James Wan's patient direction and a strong ensemble cast elevate familiar material into something that feels both classic and immediate.

2009 · Sam Raimi · 99 min · Horror

Drag Me to Hell is Sam Raimi doing what Sam Raimi does best: turning horror into a carnival ride that's equal parts terrifying and hilarious. His return to the genre after a decade of Spider-Man films proved he hadn't lost a step, delivering a PG-13 film that's more inventive and viscerally entertaining than most R-rated horror of its era. Alison Lohman anchors the chaos as a loan officer cursed by an elderly woman, and the film's willingness to be simultaneously gross, funny, and deeply unsettling gives it an energy that never lets up.

1992 · Bernard Rose · 99 min · Horror

Candyman stands apart from nearly every horror film of its era by grounding its supernatural threat in real social conditions that are more disturbing than any monster. Bernard Rose adapted Clive Barker's short story and relocated it to the Cabrini-Green housing project in Chicago, creating a horror film that's as much about institutional neglect, racial violence, and the stories communities tell to make sense of suffering as it is about a hook-handed specter. Tony Todd's performance as the title character is one of horror's great achievements, tragic and terrifying in equal measure.

1977 · Dario Argento · 98 min · Horror

Suspiria is a horror film experienced more through the senses than the mind. Dario Argento created a fever dream of saturated color, pounding music, and nightmarish imagery that remains visually unmatched in the genre, even if its plot and performances sometimes struggle to keep pace with its ambition.

1982 · Tobe Hooper · 114 min · Horror

Poltergeist is the rare horror film that's as much about the family at its center as the ghosts terrorizing them. It combines spectacular practical effects with genuine emotional stakes, creating a suburban nightmare that feels personal rather than merely frightening.

1988 · Tim Burton · 92 min · Comedy

Beetlejuice is the film where Tim Burton's sensibility crystallized into something audiences could rally around. Michael Keaton's manic, improvisation-fueled performance as the Ghost with the Most is the centerpiece, but the film's real achievement is building an entire aesthetic vocabulary that Burton would spend the rest of his career refining.

2024 · 1 Season · MBS / TBS · Supernatural / Action / Comedy / Romance

Dandadan throws ghosts, aliens, teenage romance, and absurdist comedy into a blender and somehow produces something that feels completely coherent. Science SARU's animation is jaw-dropping, the chemistry between its leads carries real emotional weight alongside the chaos, and the show's willingness to be weird without apologizing for it makes every episode feel unpredictable. The breakneck pacing occasionally leaves character development behind, and certain mature elements won't land for everyone. But as a pure shot of creative energy, Dandadan is the most exciting new anime to arrive in 2024.

2018 · Ari Aster · 127 min · Horror / Drama / Mystery

Hereditary is a deeply unsettling horror film that earns its scares through character and atmosphere rather than cheap tricks. Toni Collette delivers a performance that would be the centerpiece of any prestige drama, and Ari Aster's direction creates a sense of dread so thick it becomes almost physical. The final act's shift into supernatural territory loses some viewers who connected more deeply with the family drama, and the film's pacing demands patience that not all horror audiences are willing to give. But when it works, and for most of its runtime it works extraordinarily well, Hereditary feels like something new in a genre that rarely surprises anymore. It doesn't just scare you. It disturbs you on a level that's hard to shake.

2016 · Narrative Adventure · PC / Steam

Oxenfree is a masterclass in interactive dialogue, wrapped in a supernatural mystery that's creepy, human, and surprisingly moving. Its real-time conversation system makes every interaction feel natural in a way that most narrative games don't even attempt. The characters talk like actual teenagers, the radio mechanic adds a tactile layer to the supernatural elements, and the branching paths give you real reasons to play through more than once. Gameplay beyond the dialogue is limited, and some players will find the pacing too leisurely. But as a narrative experience that trusts its writing and respects its characters, Oxenfree punches well above its weight.

1997 · 7 Seasons · The WB, UPN · Fantasy / Drama

Buffy the Vampire Slayer took a campy premise and turned it into one of the most influential shows of its era, blending supernatural action with coming-of-age drama in ways that still resonate. Sarah Michelle Gellar anchors the whole thing with a performance that balances humor, vulnerability, and toughness across seven seasons. The show is uneven, with a rough first season and a divisive sixth, and some of its creative choices haven't aged as gracefully as others. At its best, though, this is a show that earns every bit of the devotion its fanbase still carries, delivering individual episodes and character arcs that stand among television's finest.

2015 · Robert Eggers · 92 min · Horror, Drama

The Witch is the kind of horror film that gets under your skin without ever rushing. Robert Eggers built something genuinely rare here: a debut feature with a fully realized world, a committed cast, and a willingness to let dread accumulate slowly rather than reach for cheap thrills. It won't satisfy viewers looking for scares on a schedule, but for those who let it work on them, it's haunting in ways that linger for days.

2021 · 4 Seasons · CBS · Comedy

A solid network adaptation that captures the warmth of the UK original while adjusting its humor for American audiences, though it never quite reaches the same heights.

2004 · 16 Seasons · TV Tokyo · Action / Fantasy / Supernatural

Bleach is a pillar of shonen anime that delivers iconic characters, stylish combat, and some of the most memorable moments in the genre's history. The original run is hampered by excessive filler and uneven pacing, but the Thousand-Year Blood War revival represents a stunning return that addresses many of the original's shortcomings. Taken together, it's a sprawling epic with towering highs and frustrating lows that rewards fans who can navigate around its filler content.

2003 · 2 Seasons · HBO · Fantasy, Drama, Mystery

Carnivale is one of the most visually stunning and atmospherically rich shows HBO ever produced, a Depression-era supernatural drama that built its mythology with patience and precision across two mesmerizing seasons. Daniel Knauf's creation features some of the finest production design in television history, with Clancy Brown delivering a performance as the sinister Brother Justin that commands every scene he inhabits. The slow pacing and dense mythology tested viewer patience, and the cancellation after two of a planned six seasons means the story remains permanently unfinished. But what exists is unlike anything else on television, a haunting and beautiful piece of work that rewards viewers willing to meet it on its own terms.

2019 · Jordan Peele · 116 min · Horror, Thriller

Us is a bold, unsettling film that works better as an experience than as a puzzle. Lupita Nyong'o delivers one of the most committed dual performances horror has seen in years, and Peele demonstrates a genuine gift for sustained dread. The mythology doesn't survive close inspection, and the third act asks a lot of patience, but the film's images and ideas linger far longer than its plot holes. For audiences willing to meet it on its own terms, it's a disturbing, ambitious ride.

2022 · 2 Seasons · Netflix · Supernatural Mystery / Comedy

Wednesday takes a beloved character and drops her into a teen mystery format that works better than it probably should. Jenna Ortega's deadpan performance carries the show through weaker plotting and some casting choices that don't quite land. The gothic visuals are gorgeous, the humor hits more often than it misses, and Ortega's chemistry with Emma Myers gives the show a genuine emotional core. The mysteries themselves are the weakest link, often predictable and occasionally convoluted, and the Addams Family elements beyond Wednesday herself feel undercooked. It's a fun, stylish show that knows what it does best and mostly sticks to it.

2011 · 6 Seasons · MTV · Supernatural, Drama

Teen Wolf takes a goofy 1980s movie premise and turns it into a surprisingly intense supernatural drama that peaks hard in its first three seasons. The back half loses its way, but the show's best stretches deliver genuine thrills and a cast with chemistry to burn.

2023 · Adventure · PC / Steam

Oxenfree II delivers another round of supernatural mystery and innovative dialogue choices with an older, more grounded protagonist, though it can't recapture the original's sense of discovery and occasionally stumbles under the weight of its expanded scope.

1998 · 8 Seasons · The WB · Fantasy, Drama

Charmed built a devoted fanbase on the strength of its sisterly dynamic and monster-of-the-week charm, delivering eight seasons of supernatural comfort television that peaks early and coasts on goodwill. It's uneven, sometimes campy, and more fun than it probably should be.

2021 · Horror / Simulation

The Baby in Yellow turns the mundane task of babysitting into a supernatural horror comedy where the infant you're caring for is clearly something far worse than a difficult child.

2016 · 6 Seasons · Netflix · Urban Fantasy Procedural

Lucifer is a show that runs entirely on the charisma of Tom Ellis and the entertaining absurdity of watching the literal Devil solve crimes in Los Angeles. When it leans into the theological and emotional depths of its premise, it's surprisingly compelling television. When it falls back on repetitive procedural structures and drawn-out romantic tension, it tests the patience of even its most devoted fans. Six seasons is too many, but Ellis makes nearly every episode watchable, and the show's best stretches demonstrate that there was a genuinely great show hiding inside a good one.

1987 · Clive Barker · 94 min · Horror

Hellraiser brought a literary intelligence to 1980s horror that the genre desperately needed, creating iconography that has endured for decades through sheer force of imagination. Clive Barker's directorial debut took his own novella and translated its fusion of pain, pleasure, and obsession into a film that feels unlike anything else in the horror canon. The Cenobites, particularly Doug Bradley's Pinhead, became instant icons, but the film's real power comes from its willingness to treat desire and its consequences as something more complex than simple morality.

1989 · Ivan Reitman · 108 min · Comedy, Fantasy

Ghostbusters II can't escape the shadow of its predecessor, but the cast chemistry remains potent enough to carry a weaker script through sheer force of personality.

2014 · David Robert Mitchell · 100 min · Horror

It Follows is a brilliantly conceived horror film built on a simple, terrifying premise: something is always walking toward you. The execution matches the concept for most of the runtime, though character depth and a shaky final act keep it from reaching the heights its best moments promise.

2008 · 7 Seasons · HBO · Horror / Fantasy / Drama

A wild, blood-soaked ride through supernatural Louisiana that started as a sharp metaphor for civil rights wrapped in Southern Gothic horror and gradually became the most entertaining mess on premium cable. Alan Ball's adaptation of the Sookie Stackhouse novels delivered unforgettable characters, a fearless approach to sex and violence, and a world so overstuffed with supernatural creatures that the show eventually buckled under their combined weight. The first three seasons are legitimately great television. Everything after that is a test of how much you enjoy chaos.

2018 · 4 Seasons · Netflix · Supernatural Drama

Manifest is a show that hooks you with one of the best premises in recent sci-fi television and then tests your patience by taking four seasons to explain it. The missing plane mystery and the 'callings' concept generate genuine intrigue, and the family drama provides an emotional anchor that keeps you watching through the rougher stretches. The network-TV pacing, repetitive plotting, and uneven writing hold it back from the heights its concept deserves, but the Netflix-revived final season provides enough answers to make the journey worthwhile for committed viewers.

2020 · 3 Seasons · Netflix · Fantasy / Horror

Locke & Key has a fantastic premise and occasionally reaches the magic of its source material, but inconsistent writing and baffling character decisions keep it from unlocking its full potential.
