Top Horror Themed T.V. Shows

[cdp206]

This should be fairly easy for anyone in the UK - "Britain's Got Talent" or "Big Brother"!

I'll get me coat..............

ARIES666 mentioned "reality" shows first though (he says trying to rapidly build a solid defence here!)

The biggest horror show I have seen lately is "Celebrity Survivor". Its terrifying to think people (or network execs) find that entertaining!
major, major train wreck!

Wow, this is not easy....in next day or so. What is easier, IMHO, is a thread for your "Favorite Sit-Coms", so please check that out...I am going to create it in about 5 or 10 minutes.

I have seen very little "horror-themed" television in the past 10-15 years. So, I guees it has to be the original Twilight Zone, the original Outer Limits and a show hosted by Boris Karloff in the 60's "Thriller" which is long-forgotten it seems. Twilight Zone and Outer Limits ar on my sci-fi lists as well.

I sure haven't seen anything very memorable, thats for sure. Some of the "X-Files" episodes had really good horror plots, but "Twilight Zone" is my all-time favorite, and IMO one of the best shows of all-time.
Alot was horror of the mind too, not just some monster. (remember the ones with paranoid neighbors, or when the little boy controls everyone and everything?)
Very imaginative. ...Alot of delving into human nature.
I don't remember "Thriller", but do remember "Creature Feature"!

[ARIES666]

Agreed, VioletLightning, your observations about T.Z. are apropo. I think if I had to pick just one TV show, it has to be The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling was able to tell, in 30 minutes btw, what other shows since have tried, come close...but never equalled.

Do you guys remember a show called "Monsters"? It was a knockoff of Tales from the darkside. How about " Amazing Stories" ?
