The Best Spooky Season TV Shows You can Stream Right Now

Halloween is the perfect season to curl up on the couch with something thrilling, frightening, and suspenseful. Whether you prefer your horror to be campy fun, realistically bloody, or shockingly twisted, there's something queer on streaming services for you to watch.

This season's offering includes the witchy Marvel mystery "Agatha All Along," and Julianne Moore being literal mother as she raises her son to sleep his way through the royal court and into the arms of the king. We have two different shows about queer teens arriving in what looks like paradise (an exclusive private island, a cruise ship, and a wellness retreat for elites), but turns out to be cult-driven hell; we meet a pair of ghost teens helping their supernatural clients crossover to the other side, and so much more queer spooky goodness! We've got murder mysteries, deadly reality shows, violent cult dramas, and dark comedies. Happy Halloween streaming!

"Agatha All Along" Season 1

"The Witches' Road will give you the thing you want most, if you make it to the end." Set after the events of the hit series "WandaVision," in "Agatha All Along," we meet Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) just as she begins to realize she's been trapped under a spell. Harkness recruits a coven (queer actors Joe Locke and Sasheer Zamata among them) of unlikely allies on the quest to regain her powers and uncover the secrets of the Darkhold. The coven must survive the trials of the Witches' Road without their powers, and learn to trust each other along the way. Out actress Aubrey Plaza's interactions with Hahn's Agatha heighten the seductive lesbian energy of this spooky, spellbinding show.

"Agatha All Along" Season 1 is now streaming on Disney+.

"Dead Hot" Season 1

"Dead Hot" is a dark comedy and compelling mystery following best friends who lost the most important person in their lives five years ago when Elliot (Bilal Hasna) came home to find his boyfriend, Peter, had vanished, leaving nothing behind but a puddle of blood and his severed finger. Elliot's best friend, Jess (Vivian Oparah, "Rye Lane"), is Peter's twin. When it's suddenly brought to their attention that Peter may be alive, Elliot and Jess find themselves chasing potential clues and Grindr hookups, falling into friendship breakups, following mysterious texts, developing bad-idea crushes, and doing late-night stakeouts at the pet grooming parlor where Elliot works. Somehow his latest crush (Marcus Hodson) seems to be intertwined in the mystery of where Peter is, but no one is giving them a straight answer. "Dead Hot" is high-stakes, fast paced, and lots of fun, while still conveying the impact of this emotional journey these best friends are going through.

"Dead Hot" Season 1 is now streaming on Tubi.

"Mary & George" Season 1

"King James, so cock-struck it's like a curse. Give the King whatever he wants." This series depicts, in stylish queer majesty, the true story of the Countess of Buckingham (Julianne Moore), whose desperation for wealth and a title of her own drives her to instruct her son, George (Nicholas Galitzine), to rise up the royal ranks so he can seduce King James I (Tony Curran) and become his all-powerful lover. It's dark, sexy, and ruthless, as Galtizine plays a young man quickly realizing that he can use his willingness to have sex with any gender to gain power. His mother finds a partner who matches her energy when she meets a woman who helps move her bloody, murderous, power-hungry plan forward, and seduces her with sapphic sex.

"Mary & George" Season 1 is now streaming on Starz.

"Dead Boy Detectives" Season 1

Two teenage boys (played charmingly by handsome leads, Jayden Revri and George Rexstrew) who are besties in eternal ghosthood offer a service to their fellow undead: solving mysteries for a variety of supernatural clientele, helping them to resolve whatever is tying them to the living, and enabling them to move on to the other side. They do all this while avoiding Death themselves, for fear of being torn apart. There's an ever-present queerness to everything that happens in this magical ghost adventure, as the boys meet new people and follow mysterious clues. There's a storyline of queer yearning and gay awakenings happening between the boys, and Lukas Gage makes a guest appearance as the seductive and manipulative Cat King.

"Dead Boy Detectives" Season 1 is now streaming on Netflix.

"Death & Other Details" Season 1

When a guest is murdered on a luxury cruise liner, orphan and gifted amateur detective Imogene Scott (queer actor ‎Violett Beane) becomes the only suspect in an impossible crime. This stylish cruise ship drama is perfect for fans of locked-room murder mysteries, queer shenanigans (multiple queer actors playing queer characters, having full-frontal sapphic sex and twisted lesbian drama on board!), and wealthy people's business-deals-gone-wrong that uncover dark family secrets. To prove her innocence, Imogen must work with Rufus Cotesworth (Mandy Patinkin), a man who she despises because he could not solve her mother's murder years ago, but continues to go on publicity tours hailing him as "the world's greatest detective." "The Fall of the House of Usher" hunk Rahul Kohli has a suspenseful supporting role as a suspect and potential love interest.

"Death & Other Details" Season 1 is now streaming on Hulu.

"Wreck" Seasons 1 and 2

When Jamie Walsh (Oscar Kennedy) boards a mega cruise ship to look for his missing sister, who worked there but disappeared without explanation, he uncovers a conspiracy much more terrifying and dark than he (or we) could ever imagine. Jamie ends up working with Vivian (Thaddea Graham), both queer teens who left home with a mission, but their sleuthing threatens to expose an entire corporation's secrets, putting their lives at risk.

(Spoiler alert)

After a bloody season surviving campy serial killers and a killer conspiracy aboard the ship, only a handful of their crew survives. In season 2, the survivors of the cruise ship horrors are traumatized and grieving, but committed to finding the heads of the organization that tortured them and ending them for good. This takes the queer crew to a wellness retreat that is not as peaceful or relaxing as it pretends to be – in fact, it's a modern, twisted take on wellness capitalism and escapism for the rich.

"Wreck" Seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming on Hulu.

"Interview with the Vampire" Season 2

Season 2 of this lush vampire thriller sees Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) recounting the years spent with his daughter/sister Claudia (now played by Delainey Hayles) when they escaped from New Orleans to Paris, eventually joining a coven of vampire-actors who perform supernatural plays for their enthralled human audience. Both this theatrical storyline and the confessions Louis shares with his interviewer Daniel Molloy (played by Eric Bogosian; and Luke Brandon Field in the flashbacks) dive deeper into the truth of their shared memories, revealing a much darker, fiercely protected truth. The show's thrilling narrative continues to bounce between flashbacks of their escapades in France, interview flashbacks to when Louis and Daniel first met, and both Louis and Daniel obeying the specific instructions of Louis' lover (...or keeper?) Armand (Assad Zaman).

"Interview with the Vampire" Seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream on AMC+.

"The Traitors" Seasons 1 and 2

Out actor and queer icon Alan Cumming hosts the US version of this global sensation. "The Traitors" is a reality competition that asks its contestants to lie to each other while living together in a Scottish castle and earning a collective cash prize, which they will share – if they can vote out the Traitors hidden among them, and avoid being secretly murdered (eliminated from the game) at night. The show rewards those who can play mind games and betray their friends without blinking, the stakes getting higher each week and with each murder and elimination. The upcoming Season 3 cast includes Tom Sandoval, Chrishell Stause, Gabby Windey, Sam Asghari, and Bob the Drag Queen, so now is the perfect time to catch up on the lore before they inevitably get more complex and creative with the gameplay.

"The Traitors" Seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming on Peacock.

"Welcome to Eden" Seasons 1 and 2

In this Spanish thriller, a group of young adults are invited to an exclusive party on a remote island, finding themselves stranded on the beach in the morning and forced to join a wellness cult. Life on the island comes with matching uniforms, strange bonding rituals, a mysterious leadership structure, and many hot, queer, and trans members they can't help but get involved with. The tempting paradise holds dangerous, deadly secrets, and the very real risk of being murdered for asking the wrong questions. While being recruited to the undercover resistance and falling in love with powerful cult members, these newcomers, who were handpicked because they don't have people waiting for them back home, risk everything to stay alive and make a plan to escape the island.

"Welcome to Eden" Seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming on Netflix.

"Bad Sisters" Season 1

This Irish dark comedy is about the Garvey sisters, who have been very close and protective of each other since losing their parents when they were very young. Their relationship shifts dramatically after one of them marries an abusive man, making their sister retreat into herself and avoid them. The series opens with his funeral, and each episode recounts the sisters' various attempts on his life, while being investigated by an insurance company who can't afford to pay out the husband's policy. With every episode, you'll feel more urgency to kill the man yourself. One of the sisters is a queer woman, and we see her home life with her wife play into the tension of the show. Handsome Irishman Daryl McCormack ("Good Luck to You, Leo Grande") plays a supporting role as an investigator and love interest for one of the sisters. Season 2 will release weekly in November, so if you haven't caught up with this extremely tense and satisfying show, now is the perfect time.

"Bad Sisters" Season 1 is now streaming on AppleTV+.
