Dear Netflix,

I am a longtime user of your services. I even used to have the plan where those things called DVDs were mailed to me.

Before I was a subscriber of your wonderful streaming services, I was a horror fan. I’ve always been a horror fan, since I first saw “When a Stranger Calls” around the age of six. I spend my nights scouring the Internet for the next best horror movie, for the underground horror movies that get zero recognition, and for the older ones that I’ve overlooked. I’ve Googled “most disturbing horror movies," “creepiest horror movies," “scariest monster movies," etc.

What I’m getting at is: you guys need to step your game up. Your horror section is severely lacking. You have some of the classics, such as “Jaws," “The Exorcist," and “Hellraiser," but I’d say a good 90 percent of your other horror movies are garbage.

I’m not even looking for good acting or great special effects; I’m looking to get scared to the point where I need to fall asleep with the light on. And the $7.99 I pay a month is enough to purchase that kind of fear.

I feel like the horror genre gets a bad rap, like there are only so many really good ones (like the ones mentioned above), but even a movie like “Jeepers Creepers,” that has the corniest dialogue and the dumbest “don’t go in there!” moments, scares the crap out of me. And “Dead Snow," a Norwegian movie about Nazi zombies that crawl up from under the snow, is going to creep me out.

Maybe over the years my standards have dropped—Eli Roth’s “Cabin Fever” and “Green Inferno” send a chill up my spine to this day. Maybe I’m prejudiced because I don’t like gore-porn like in the “Saw” franchise (what are we up to, number 12?). And maybe I have a soft spot for those crappy fake-documentary movies like Shyamalan’s “The Visit," “The Taking of Deborah Logan," and “Creep."

Regardless, you need to seriously reevaluate the kinds of movies you put on your horror page, and possibly fire the person in charge of that. No way in hell am I watching a movie called “Mockingbird” with an evil clown on the cover.

Regards,

Olivia
