Dracula, one of the most well-known monsters of all time, is making a comeback on Netflix this year. This 2020 show retells the story over three episodes, with exciting new special effects and costumes, creepy visuals, and gripping acting. Dracula blurs the lines between good and evil and shows the first vampire as a more complicated figure than we might have originally thought. This show has the same creators as Sherlock, so the visuals are superb. Dracula melds classic and modern styling, and the character still has his classic top hat, cape with red lining, and deep black suit! Use a simple vampire costume and you're all ready to become Dracula this Halloween.
5. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
