While there are no jump scares in documentaries like in regular horror movies, these series are even more chilling because they explore true stories that will leave you sick to your stomach and make you question humanity (and your next-door neighbour), from Ted Bundy to John Wayne Gacy.
When it comes to true-crime documentaries breaking down the heinous misdeeds of some of the most well-known serial killers of all time, Netflix has the genre on lock.
