A Discovery of Witches might be the best-kept secret on streaming. Sumptuously romantic, decadently exquisite, and above all, smart, the fantasy romance follows what happens when a modern day witch falls in love with a centuries-old vampire.

A seven hour documentary on the Friday the 13th franchise? Sign me up! Now streaming on Sundance Now, Crystal Lake Memories is a wide-ranging film that offers a borderline obscene amount of information about this beloved horror franchise.
