Vampires, witches, and a certain Swedish cult are all here to keep you on the edge of your seat all month.

The holidays are over, and if you thought&nbsp;that meant it&#39;s time for Valentine&#39;s Day, you are wrong. What to watch and stream this January is instead about going right back to Spooky Season, as a surprising amount of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/halloween-anti-heroine-horror-movies">horror content</a>&nbsp;is releasing. If the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/oscar-nominations-2020-snubs-female-directors-awkwafina-beyonce">Oscar nominations</a> have you angry and nothing will give you post-holiday energy like a good scare, new movies, shows, and streaming releases are here to satisfy your dark soul. And there&#39;s no better place to start than&nbsp;Dracula,&nbsp;which has been biting its way into our hearts since it released on New Year&#39;s Day. Read all about it below, as well as several other ideas to watch and stream for a horror-filled start to 2020.

It has certainly been a while since we have gotten the chance to indulge in our vampire obsession. Frankly, we have even started to miss our sharp-toothed&nbsp;friends, who were everywhere less than a decade ago with the success of Twilight&nbsp;and The Vampire Diaries.&nbsp;After an apparent mass disappearance,&nbsp;Netflix has positioned vampires for a return to the spotlight with its new original series, Dracula, which&nbsp;sticks closely&nbsp;to the original book by Bran Stoker, published in 1897. While viewers are certainly excited about the&nbsp;return of some good vampire entertainment, the title character is not your shy&nbsp;boy next door, i.e. Edward Cullen or any of his friends-slash-chosen-family from&nbsp;the 2010s.&nbsp;Here, Dracula is vile, cruel, and delightfully sadistic.

Netflix has long proven that it has the miracle recipe for a successful series: a flawless cast, a powerful&nbsp;atmosphere, a soundtrack you can&#39;t get out of your head, and a story that is timeless and well-known. Insert&nbsp;Dracula, the classic tale of&nbsp;a chilling vampire complete with stunning chateau scenery, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/the-crown-netflix-hair-makeup-olivia-colman">period costumes</a>, and of course,&nbsp;blood.&nbsp;The short series includes three 90-minute episodes recounting three different periods of the Count&#39;s life, from Transylvania to England.

We found the series to have just enough gore, though those with more sensitive eyes may be inclined to&nbsp;disagree. However, if you are a more seasoned <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/chic-halloween-costume-films">horror</a> fanatic, you might not find anything to scream about here, as the most chilling scenes are either few and far between&nbsp;or very predictable. All in all, this&nbsp;new rendition of&nbsp;the classic vampire story&nbsp;is perfect for both devoted&nbsp;Dracula fans and newcomers alike, and an ideally&nbsp;great starting point if you&#39;re looking on digging deeper into the history of this ghastly figure.

If you&#39;re like us, and this short-but-sweet series leaves you hungry for more haunts, check out some more chillers coming&nbsp;to big and small screens alike below:

It&#39;s no surprise to see the classic German fairytale, the Grimm Brothers&#39;&nbsp;Hansel &amp; Gretel, take an even darker turn in movie theaters this winter. The equally beautiful and terrifying cinematography has us intrigued, as does star <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/sophia-lillis-dior-interview-2019">Sophia Lillis</a>, who takes her next spooky step after rising to horror prominence in the It&nbsp;movies.

Gretel &amp; Hansel releases in theaters on January 31, 2020.

Our favorite witch (played by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kiernan-shipka-interview-summer-2019">Kiernan Shipka</a>)&nbsp;is back for a third season on the Netflix original series, and our favorite pajamas and couch cushion could not be more excited. Get ready to binge-watch this eight-episode season later this January.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina returns to Netflix on&nbsp;January 24, 2020.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

While&nbsp;Midsommar&nbsp;was the horror film of, well, mid-summer, it&#39;s getting renewed attention thanks to the fact that it just dropped on Amazon Prime. If you have a newfound obsession with queen Florence Pugh or are such a horror junkie that you want to see the scary potential of&nbsp;broad daylight, this is the film for you.

Midsommar&nbsp;is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video as of January 10, 2020.

Revisiting the widely loved&nbsp;original from 2004,&nbsp;The Grudge is back thanks to Nicolas Pesce. A familiar, particularly menacing ghost spreads a curse to all those who enter a single house, leading to a thrilling investigation as the police try to figure out what is going on.

The Grudge released in theaters on&nbsp;January 3rd, 2020.

While Kristen Stewart recently took on a role as one of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/lana-del-rey-miley-cyrus-ariana-grande-collaboration-charlies-angels-2019">Charlie&#39;s Angels</a> in the latest remake, the actress is back to her spooky roots, though this time, she&#39;s exploring something entirely different from Bella Swan. In the&nbsp;film Underwater, Stewart and&nbsp;a team of underwater researchers seek shelter after an earthquake devastates their sub-aquatic laboratory. Unfortunately, they meet more than a few surprises in this 95-minute slasher film.&nbsp;

Underwater released on&nbsp;January 14th, 2020.

While all horror movies aim to terrorize, films that feature creepy children&nbsp;always feel especially sinister. The Turning, starring&nbsp;Mackenzie Davis&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/strangerthings">Stranger Things</a> star Finn Wolfhard, delivers a healthy dose of demonic minors and will probably have you questioning your next babysitting gig.

The Turning releases in theaters on January 24, 2020.
