No one does it better than Netflix when it comes to chilling the spines of its subscribers. When Halloween creeps around the corner, the streamer goes full throttle in resurrecting the classics while summoning fresh horror thrills. But even without it, rain or shine, it never misses a chance to drape its lineup in eerie elegance whenever an opportunity arises. And if there is one spine-chilling masterpiece that deserves a front-row seat on every watchlist, it is Dracula.

So, here are three compelling reasons why Dracula should seek its teeth into your next horror binge. 

Netflix never fails to leave a mark with its macabre media. In fact, they even take pride in those haunted happenings. One such brooch of supernatural suspense is Dracula on the streaming giant, released as a New Year sinister saga half a decade ago on BBC One, followed by its streaming debut three days later. Firstly, Dracula was met with raving positive reviews, especially with its written components, loosely based on the 1897 novel of the same name by Bram Stoker. 

The series garnered a 71% approval on Rotten Tomatoes while Metacritic gave it 85 out of 100. However, the show does not just tiptoe through the shadows of creepiness. It is a devilishly delightful cocktail of horror and humor, making Dracula wickedly fun. Plus, with just three episodes, it is the perfect binge-bite for fans navigating the ever-shrinking digital attention span.
