Favorite Horror TV Shows?

[Kealan Patrick Burke]

Agreed Terry. Those were terrific episodes. Watched "Gramma" not so long ago and it still holds up.

I've been curious about HAVEN for quite some time but haven't heard much about it. I think the fact that it was based on THE COLORADO KID put me off it, because as much as I loved that book, the idea of it inspiring a series didn't make much sense to me. But now I may have to track it down and check it out.

SUPERNATURAL is another one I couldn't get into. I think the Calvin Klein-ish brotherly duo put me off it.

I really loved the Twilight Zone incarnation from the mid-80s. Some of the best TV I've ever seen. "Nightcrawlers", "Gramma", "Her Pilgrim Soul" and "Shatterday" are among my favorites.

I agree Dan. Syfy has stepped it up in regards to original programming. I got really into Haven this year. If anyone hasn't watched a few episodes they are missing out.

Fringe is one of my current favorites, in spite of JJ.

I used to love Fringe, but I stopped watching it for some reason. I can't remember why. I do really like Haven on the Sci-Fi channel. It's a surprisingly good show, as with all the Sci-Fi originals lately. Another good one is Sanctuary.

Oh, and I am not ashamed to say that I freaking love Supernatural.

Kealan I also tend to really dislike Joshua Jackson but I managed to somewhat overcome that to enjoy Fringe. I loved TftC and will echo that Darkside has aged poorly. It's been a while but I remember enjoying Friday the 13th the Series. I also miss Elvira.

I don't think anyone mentioned Dark Shadows?

Somebody did.....

X-files, Alfred Hitchcock presents, Thriller (Karloff!!), Twilight Zone, Outer Limits..Dark Shadows...
Not all strictly horror, but some stand-out series.

How about MONSTERS? TALES FROM THE CRYPT and TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE?

Those are what I was going to mention, especially Tales From The Darkside. But Alfred Hitchcock was great too. You can still see the old reruns up her on a couple different channels.
I don't think anyone mentioned Dark Shadows? Never a fan myself but I loved Nightstalker...my favorite of them all.

Season 5 will be released early next year!

That's terrific news!

[Kealan Patrick Burke]

Not sure how iplayer works, but all of the episodes are on there. Episode one - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...des_Episode_1/

For anyone else interested, here's some blurb on it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fades_%28TV_series%29

Really not sure if it can last beyond the 6 episodes, but the characters in it are really unusual (the hero is not at all the norm) and it's got better and better as it's gone along

Sweet! I'll give it a look. Thanks for sharing!

[frik51]

Man, I miss Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Season 5 will be released early next year!

Greenelk: I've never heard of THE FADES, but I'm intrigued. Will have to keep an eye out for it over here. And yes, definitely check out AHS - it actually seems to be getting better as it goes along...

The Walking Dead, Dexter, Tales From the Crypt, The Twilight Zone

I knew there was one more I wanted to add to my list, but I can't think of it now...

[Kealan Patrick Burke]

Agreed. I found the TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE episodes in particular haven't aged very well at all.
