Horror TV series
May 23, 2023 at 6:51 pm
In your opinion, was is/was the best horror series on TV? Mine would probably have to be American Horror Story, with Salem, Supernatural, Sabrina, and the X-Files also having a spot on my list.
Hopefully, Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities will be back for another season. You could argue that Stranger Things qualifies for this list as well. Am I forgetting anything? Oh yeah, Millennium was cool, until it went off the rails in the second season.
My favorite season of AHS is probably Sanitarium or Roanoke.
Any thoughts?
Am I forgetting anything?

Ditto to slamma by Sama. Also, anything with rap in it.

American Gothic 1995, only one season but had Gary Cole as Sheriff Lucas Buck, aka possibly Satan; and Sarah Paulson as the ghostly Merlyn Temple.

The Masters of Horror was pretty good.
I guess the best episode was about a movie collector who is trying to find the ultimate cult film which makes anyone who watches it commit suicide. We also learn that the movie features the mutilation of an actual angel.
There was also a "hilarious" episode about a religious fanatic (or as we call them: Christians) who is trying to save his daughter from getting an abortion from the abortion clinic while her child is Satan himself.
Consequently, both episodes were done by John Carpenter.
Also, the horror show that I immensely enjoyed was "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina".
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The vast bulk of TV is a horror.

Indeed. Take "Full House", it starts with words
What ever happened to predictability?
The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV.
You miss your old familiar friends
Waiting just around the bend
And then you realize that they are indeed gone. Wtf happened to the milkman, the paperboy, and evening TV? Did something eat them? And you become scarred and depressed.
