With Halloween almost here, everyone is firing up their go-to streaming services to watch their favorite horror movies to get in spooky season mood.

As with everything we use online, from search engines to social media, to streaming services, the much talked about "algorithm" decides what we see based on the data collected from previous online and streaming behaviors.

As a result, when you logon to Netflix to start looking for a scary watch this Halloween season, the algorithm isn't going to show you every horror movie that's actually available to stream.

It's only going to show you what the movies it thinks you want to watch.

Well, there's a way, a special code, that you can use to get around Netflix's algorithm to browse every horror available.

From CNET.com -

"When you watch Netflix on your OLED TV or binge on your phone, you've only scratched the surface. Netflix doesn't show you everything it has to offer all at once.

In fact, the platform has been serving you personalized suggestions based on your viewing history and preferences since you began using it.

Its algorithm can't always be trusted to paint an accurate portrait of what's available."

What Are Netflix Codes?

Netflix codes are unique identifiers that allow you to easily access specific genres or sub-genres within Netflix’s vast library—on the website, not the app.

Normally, you're limited to the categories shown on your home screen based on Netflix's algorithm, making it difficult to browse beyond the curated selections.

By using these Netflix codes, you can unlock a broader range of content, giving you the freedom to explore and discover new movies and TV shows you may have never found otherwise.

It's a great tool to enhance your streaming experience and find exactly what you're in the mood for.
