\u201cWednesday\u201d<\/a> has a very specific vibe, but there are a handful of shows that could scratch the same itch while waiting for the second half of Season 2 to drop.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Addams Family\u201d spinoff series blends the classic teen coming-of-age tale with supernatural madness, murder and a bit of oddball humor. That can be a hard combination to duplicate but a pair of shows from horror maestro Mike Flanagan, an adaptation from a comic by Stephen King\u2019s son, and the original teen supernatural coming-of-age series can get the job done.<\/p>\n

Below are the shows to check out to pass the time while waiting for \u201cWednesday\u201d Season 2 Part 2.<\/p>\n

The Haunting of Hill House<\/p>\n

Mike Flanagan\u2019s first horror series for Netflix also shot him into a new level of recognition. \u201cThe Haunting of Hill House\u201d \u2013 adapting Shirley Jackson\u2019s novel \u2013 tells the bleak story of a family ruined by their short time in a new home they moved into.<\/p>\n

The story serves as a puzzle with it taking place across two time periods \u2013 in the past when the family moved to the house, and in the present with everyone scattered to the wind and picking up the pieces years after living through what happened \u2013 and asked viewers to figure out what was true<\/a> among a variety of unreliable narrators. \u201cHill House\u2019s\u201d exploration into grief and how different individuals process their trauma differently hits much harder than it had any right to.<\/p>\n

\""The\u201cThe Midnight Club\u201d (Netflix)<\/p>\n

The Midnight Club<\/p>\n

Mike Flanagan has become a near-household name in the horror genre and his first foray into teen horror may scratch the \u201cWednesday\u201d itch if his series \u201cThe Haunting of Hill House\u201d is a bit too intense. The series takes place at a mysterious manor that serves as a hospice home for terminally ill kids. The titular club consists of eight kids who meet each night to tell horror stories and grapple with their mortality.<\/p>\n

The Umbrella Academy<\/p>\n

Few Netflix shows have nailed the misfits banding together to save the world trope better than \u201cThe Umbrella Academy.\u201d The series follows a group of has-been heroes that grew up fighting crime with an assortment of powers, only to become estranged until a death in their found family brings them back together. What follows is four seasons of bats\u2013t storytelling that works more often than it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/p>\n

\u201cBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u201d stars Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy \u2013 the next in a long line of Slayers tasked with protecting humanity from all manner of supernatural entities, be they vampires or others. Juggling that, she also has to deal with high school (and later, adult) woes. The show was ahead of the curve in many of the topics and themes it explored, and it changed how TV stories were told<\/a> with its masterful blend of episodic and serialized storytelling. With a new revamp around the corner<\/a>, there is no better time to check out the original.<\/p>\n

What We Do In The Shadows<\/p>\n

Go all in on outcast and misfit humor with FX\u2019s hit \u201cWhat We Do In The Shadows.\u201d The show chronicles the misadventures of a handful of vampires just trying to get through their day living in the modern world. The series hails from Taika Waititi so expect his brand of humor when you settle in and enjoy one of the funniest shows to drop in the last decade.<\/p>\n

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina<\/p>\n

Like \u201cWednesday,\u201d \u201cThe Chilling Adventures of Sabrina\u201d is a dark coming-of- age story that follows Archie Comics character Sabrina the Teenage Witch as she comes to terms with being both part witch and part mortal. The theme of outcasts is strong in \u201cWednesday\u201d and Sabrina and her friends would likely fit right in at Nevermore Academy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Locke and Key<\/p>\n

Another teen coming-of-age story with a supernatural twist, \u201cLocke and Key\u201d adapts a graphic novel by Joe Hill \u2013 the oldest son of Stephen King. After their father dies, a mother and three children move to his family home, which is much more than meets the eye. Magical and reality-bending keys liter the property and start finding their way into each of their hands. What follows is classic good vs. evil as the family fights to keep the keys from forces that would use them for the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n
