Netflix created a doorbell ‘hack’ for Halloween so you never have to stop binging

It’s a modern dilemma: What do you do on Halloween when those pesky trick-or-treaters interrupt your Skin Wars binge?  

Netflix revealed that pause rates spike every Halloween, as viewers get up to hand out candy to kids. So it’s devised a branded doorbell “hack” that lets trick-or-treaters know you can’t be bothered to get up and interact with humans because you’re watching Netflix. 

To make the doorbell, which can be customized with a song from one of your favorite shows, you “should be comfortable with basic electronics, physical fabrication, and Arduino programming.”
