Coal (2025)
Follows Ethan Bishop, an eight-year-old boy navigating a difficult time in his life that lands him on Santa’s naughty list.

If you're looking for a television experience that combines horror with rich storytelling, look no further than NOS4A2. Based on Joe Hill's acclaimed novel of the same name, this American supernatural horror drama aired on AMC from June 2, 2019, to August 23, 2020. The series is not just another spooky show; it delves into psychological darkness and moral dilemmas through its fascinating characters and plotlines. With two seasons consisting of twenty gripping episodes, it’s an unmissable addition to your watchlist.
At the heart of NOS4A2 lies Victoria "Vic" McQueen, portrayed brilliantly by Ashleigh Cummings. Vic is a young artist who discovers her supernatural gift – the ability to locate lost things or people using her imagination and willpower. This talent draws her into a dangerous confrontation with Charlie Manx (played by Zachary Quinto), an immortal being who preys on children’s souls to maintain his twisted realm known as Christmasland. In this icy village where every day is Christmas but happiness is strictly enforced, Manx captures innocent children and leaves behind empty shells devoid of joy.
What makes NOS4A2 stand out among other horror series like Midnight, Texas or The Julekalender is its unique blend of fantastical elements with real-world struggles. As Vic battles against Manx’s sinister plans to spread despair and sorrow in Christmasland, she must also navigate personal challenges within her family dynamic—particularly concerning her mother Linda McQueen (Virginia Kull) and father Chris McQueen (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). The interaction between Vic's supernatural journey and her everyday life creates layers that resonate strongly with audiences while maintaining suspense throughout each episode.
