There's a whole bunch of cracking new releases on everyone's favourite streaming platform right now.
From the latest Bridgerton season to a bunch of harrowing documentaries - it's clear Netflix has been doing what it does best when it comes to adding new additions to the site.
However, the streaming service also has a decent amount of less recent films and TV series that fans are still absolutely loving.

And one particular series in question broke the world record for the most jump scares in single episode - despite its creator previously being vocal about hating them.

Brought to you by the creator of The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, the 10-part series is guaranteed to give its viewers more than its fair share of scares.
Take a look at the terrifying trailer below:
The Midnight Club, which is streaming now, centres on a group of five terminally ill patients at Brightcliffe Hospice, who meet up at midnight to share scary stories with each other.

One night, the friends make a pact that whoever dies first must try and communicate with the others from beyond the grave - but when one of them does die, things begin to get very creepy.
Despite earning itself a spot in the Guinness World Records for jump scares - with a whopping 21 in a single episode - creator Mike Flanagan has admitted he’s not usually a big fan.
Flanagan said during the show's New York Comic Con panel: "My whole career I completely s**t on jump scares as a concept, and I wanted to make sure it was pinned to me, too, as much as it is to the show, to Netflix, and all of us who have inflicted this on everyone.

"Now, I have my name in the Guinness Book of World Records for jump scares, which means next time I get the note, I can say, 'You know, as the current world record holder for jump scares, I don’t think we need one here'."

Following its release back in 2022, it's clear horror fans were already pretty stoked.
One wrote: "Two episodes into The Midnight Club and it feels a little like an adult version of Are You Afraid of the Dark? in the best of ways."
Another said: "Might just cancel all my plans for the next 10 hours to watch The Midnight Club."

A third added: "So far, @flanaganfilm has never 'missed' with any of his horror shows, so I'm about to start The Midnight Club with an optimal level of hype.”

While someone else commented: “Watching The Midnight Club as if I didn't know it has 21 jump scares."
The Midnight Club is currently available to stream on Netflix now.
