Horror on Netflix: January 2017 Additions
By Jeremy Dick
A new year is upon us, and so is a new selection of horror titles to stream on Netflix! We’ve got the list of new titles for the month right here.
For the past several months, Netflix has been totally lacking in the horror department. It seems like each month only brought a small, pitiful selection of new titles.
