Hulu's collection of supernatural shows is quite impressive given the range of shows the streaming service has to offer. From a classic horror revival like The Exorcist to an offbeat vampire comedy like What We Do In The Shadows, Hulu's supernatural-driven content can add to several binge sessions depending upon the viewer's mind.

Even though most of these shows end up having horror undertones, there are some exceptions too like Merlin that largely relies on magical fantasy, and Twin Peaks, which plays out like a mystery drama.

Salem (2014-2017): 7.2

As its name suggests, Salem is a period drama set around the same period as the infamous Salem witch trials of the 17th century. Adding elements of supernatural horror, the show depicts an alternate history with a Gothic romance thrown in the mix.

As a witch (Janet Montgomery) creates chaos and is determined to summon the Devil, her long-lost lover (Shane West) returns and serves as a distraction from her plans. Apart from the romantic angle, Salem also offers interesting perspectives on the then-relevant debate on 'sorcery vs science'.

Sleepy Hollow (2013-2017): 7.4

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving has been a mainstay in horror, further popularized by Tim Burton's Gothic feature Sleepy Hollow. Unlike most of these period dramas, the TV show adaptation of the story also adds an amusing modern-era storyline that's vaguely inspired by Rip Van Winkle.

Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) is the so-called 'Headless Horseman' in this case and a close associate of the Founding Fathers like George Washington. However, when Crane wakes up in the present day due to a mysterious incident, he tries uncovering myths that will connect him to his past.

Witches Of East End (2013-2014): 7.6

In the sleepy town of East End, two sisters (Jenna Dewan and Rachel Boston) grow up without knowing their hidden magical powers until they discover a family secret. It turns out the girls were raised under a 'witch' mother (Julia Ormond) as they all team up against mortal enemies.

Witches of East End doesn't shy away from its melodrama but it also offers some moving moments, benefiting from the chemistry shared between its lead actors.

Merlin (2008-2012): 7.9

Merlin using his magic in Merlin

According to medieval folklore, Merlin was the name of King Arthur's loyal courtier and a master magician. This British fantasy adventure reimagines the Arthurian legends from the perspective of Merlin (Colin Morgan) as he seeks to make sense out of his magical gifts.

Usually, media centering on King Arthur tend to focus on the iconic monarch. But Merlin's fresh take subverts those depictions and offers new viewpoints from the story by documenting Merlin's rise in the kingdom of Camelot. It's worth watching past season 1, if nothing else, for the incredible characters introduced - particularly for history buffs.

American Horror Story (2011): 8

With every season offering a new storyline, American Horror Story has turned into a mega-event of sorts for fans of modern horror. Featuring Glee creator Ryan Murphy's ever-reliable storytelling as well as many of his regular collaborators like Sarah Paulson and Jessica Lange, the show hops from one particular supernatural theme to another.

So, if one season would focus on a haunted house, another one would focus on a cult that developed in the aftermath of the 2016 Presidential elections. With such a wide variety of paranormal as well as real-life horror, American Horror Story makes for quintessential viewing as an anthology series.

The Exorcist (2016-2017): 8

The best part of The Exorcist is that it takes place directly after the original film (albeit with new characters) and completely ignores the infamous sequels. With enough thrills and scares to offer, the show serves as a worthy successor to its source material and maintains enough atmospheric tension to hook new-age viewers.

The plot mostly follows two exorcists dealing with numerous cases of demonic possession. Naturally, the originality might lack if compared to the 1973 film, but its special effects and production design still fare better than many other recent works of religious horror hailed as the best.

Preacher (2016-2019): 8

Dominic Cooper plays the preacher Jesse Custer, a man cursed with supernatural powers that ultimately drive him to fight off other-worldly forces and seek the 'Lord' himself.'

Based on Garth Ennis's comic book series, Preacher effectively covers its troubled hero's journey while exploring themes such as morality, violence, and the futility of human life. Joining the protagonist in his adventure are Jesse's hell-raising ex-girlfriend Tulip O'Hare (Ruth Negga) and an Irish vampire Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun).

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997-2003): 8.2

A modern classic, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is notable for not only establishing its supremacy within the vampire genre but also inspiring a 'universe' of its own that includes comics and spin-off series.

What the show largely benefits from is the perfect blend of tonal elements. As the protagonist Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) learns the ways to become a trained vampire-hunter, defeating and being overpowered in the process, her quests are filled with situations of pure horror as well as bleak comedy. It's arguably one of the finest shows to humanize the lore of vampires and demons rather than just relying on creature-driven shock value.

What We Do In The Shadows (2019-): 8.5

Inspired by Taika Waititi's film of the same name, What We Do In The Shadows retains its original's mockumentary format to deliver a highly interactive joyride that is bolstered by its dark humor and lead performances.

Given how the vampire subgenre of horror has been oversaturated, the show takes usual satirical jabs at the creatures by focusing on three immortal vampires and their everyday misadventures. In fact, a particular highpoint was a special episode that ended up featuring various cinematic vampires as guest stars ranging from Wesley Snipes (Blade) to Tilda Swinton (Only Lovers Left Alive).

Twin Peaks (1990-2017): 8.8

Twin Peaks starts off as a mystery as an FBI agent (Kyle MacLachlan) travels to the titular town to investigate the death of a high-schooler. However, as time passes, he encounters the unknown in the bizarre ways possible.

As noted surrealist David Lynch serves as the creative force behind the show's direction and writing, Twin Peaks has its fair share of dream sequences, magical realism, and eccentric characters. Over the years, the series has garnered a cult following and deserves to be viewed for its landmark impact on '90s-era television.
