Bewitched
A nostalgia hit if ever there was one, the original Bewitched originally aired in 1964 but still captivates and, well, bewitches today.
Beautiful and beguiling witch Samantha meets and marries a decidedly non-magical mortal man called Darrin. Samantha tries to live a normal life without using her powers, but her supernatural family continuously interferes, making that very hard.
Watch for the witchy, throwback vibes and fun visual effects.
The Addams Family
They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky! The masters of macabre, this list wouldn't be complete without the inclusion of The Addams Family.

Watch if you're still waiting for Netflix to release Season Two of Wednesday.

Beauty And The Beast
Fair warning, this TV show has zero correlation to the much-loved Disney story. Kristin Kreuk stars as Catherine Chandler, a NYPD detective who watched her mother die and was almost killed herself, until someone (or something!) saved her. A case she's working on directs her to Vincent Keller, played by Jay Ryan - an ex-soldier with altered DNA that's turned him into… well, a beast.
Watch for a Law & Order meets Marvel vibe.

iZombie
Loosely adapted from the comic book series of the same name, iZombie follows the adventures of Liv Moore, a zombie medical examiner for the Seattle Police. And yep, in typical zombie style, she eats brains. But only the brains of crime victims… and only to help solve their murders! She temporarily has access to their memories after brain consumption.

Bonus: Wolf Like Me
This series is a bonus one, as it's actually available on Stan but it's simply too good not to include!
There's two seasons of this epic werewolf tale that's not too frightening, but much very much fits in with the Halloween theme.
It stars the dynamic duo of Josh Gad (Frozen, Beauty and the Beast) and much-loved Australian actress Isla Fisher (Arrested Development, Wedding Crashers).
Watch for some old-fashioned werewolf fun!
