Okay, here’s my attempt at writing a blog post in the style you described, focusing on the practical steps and keeping it casual and personal:

So, I was messing around the other day, trying to find something scary to watch on Netflix. I’d seen all the usual stuff, and I was getting bored. Then I remembered those “secret codes” I’d heard about, the ones that supposedly unlock hidden categories. I figured, “Why not give it a shot?”

Digging for the Codes

First, I had to find some codes.I just Googled “netflix horror codes 2023”.

Lots of the codes were outdated, like, seriously old.I grabbed a few codes, some of the examples include 8711, 10695, and so on.

Trying Them Out

This is where it got a little tricky. Originally, I went to the “Genres” section, and I was like “ok, how to input them?”.

I tried the search bar on Netflix, just typing in the numbers. No dice. Didn’t work at all.

Then, I had to get back to google again.

I figured out how to enter the *’s all about putting the numbers in.

The Moment of Truth

I tried a few different codes. I remember one was “8711” for horror movies. Typed it in, and boom – a whole bunch of horror flicks I’d never seen before popped up!

I also tried “10695” for horror comedies. That brought up some interesting stuff, too. It wasn’t perfect – some of the movies were already in my regular recommendations – but it definitely showed me some new options.

My Verdict

So, do these Netflix codes actually work? Yeah, kinda. It’s not like some magic trick that unlocks a secret vault of movies. It’s more like a slightly different way of browsing. But hey, it did help me find some new horror stuff to watch, and that’s what I was after.

It’s a fun little experiment, and if you’re tired of scrolling through the same old stuff, it’s worth a try. Just don’t expect * remember the code might be outdated.
