CRUEL SUMMER TWISTING THRILLER

Each episode of this terrific thriller flips between the same day on three years — 1993, 1994 and 1995 — and follows Jeanette (Chiara Aurelia, above, with Michael Landes), who goes from nerdy outsider, to popular and loved-up, to national figure of hatred in 1995. How does that happen? And what does the kidnapping of another pupil have to do with it? Prime Video

RAVEN’S HOLLOW INVENTIVE CHILLER

Edgar Allen Poe was one of the forefather­s of modern horror, but where exactly did the king of 19th-century Gothic fiction get his ideas? Could it have been from a terrifying ordeal he and four classmates underwent when they were just cadets at a military academy? That’s certainly the idea that shapes this imaginativ­e chiller that follows the young Poe and his friends as they stumble upon a mysterious forgotten township while out on a training exercise (right). Soon they’re bedevilled by strange happenings and terrifying experience­s as they edge closer towards a horrible secret at the heart of the town. It’s a dark and strange brew. Shudder

Five people are challenged to spend the night in a haunted house. The prize is $10,000 each, but there’s one catch: they have to still be alive the next morning to claim it. This 1959 horror classic is a magnificen­tly hammy piece of filmmaking from legendary showman William Castle, with the great Vincent Price as the eccentric millionair­e setting the challenge.
