8. 28 Days Haunted (2022)
Directed by Joe Berlinger, the Netflix docuseries 28 Days Haunted is based on the theories of Ed and Lorraine Warren. The recent horror show follows four teams of brave paranormal investigators who travel to various America’s most haunted places to execute a paranormal experiment. Even though the show didn’t garner excellent reviews, it still spread fear among the viewers. The reason behind the poor rating of the show is that some viewers believe that what happens during the episode is mainly staged and not real, ultimately taking the fun out of it.
28 days in a reportedly haunted location. No camera crew, no communication with anyone outside of the location, no phones, no TV/Radio, & no prior knowledge of the location we were in. This pushed me to my limits and beyond. #28DaysHaunted October 21st only on Netflix. pic.twitter.com/CJVnvPjhyB
