3 shows like Netflix's 'Below' to watch next

In the weeks leading up to Halloween, the streamers have been pumping out all things scary and spooky. Still, one title has managed to stand out from the freaky bunch: Netflix's "Below."

The atmospheric, highly bingeable sea-creature thriller series stars Josh Hartnett as Calvin Penney, a fisherman living in a small, nautical Newfoundland town dealing with an unidentified sea creature that starts terrorizing the community.

Since the Jesse McKeown-created miniseries debuted on the streaming service on Oct. 8, it quickly surged to the top spot on Netflix's global and U.S. TV charts. But if you already finished all eight eerie episodes of "Below" and are looking for something similarly packed with small-town quirkiness, supernatural dread, and things that go bump in the night, we've got a trio of top-rated shows for you to watch next.

Let's get the obvious one out of the way, shall we? Before "Below," the main "creepy things happening on an isolated island" series of note was "Widow's Bay," the Apple TV hit that won over awards bodies — it took home a cool 14 Emmy Awards for its first season, including for Outstanding Comedy Series — and TV fans alike with its blend of offbeat humor and genuine scares

Like "Below," the horror-comedy takes place in a quaint island town: Here, it's a fictional New England hamlet 40 miles off the North Shore coast whose tourism bona fides are complicated by the fact that everyone on the island (as played by Kate O'Flynn, Stephen Root, Jeff Hiller and Dale Dickey, among others) believes it to be afflicted with a centuries-old curse.
