Fans of horror movies usually flock to these shows in droves to satisfy their hankering for fear.

This is reassuring, because this means it is almost guaranteed to be faithful to its source.

Investigators check it out to find that almost everyone on board is dead.

Critics did enjoy it, though, commending it for being genuinely scary throughout.

Business as usual for a lot of thriller shows.

This monster begins wreaking havoc in the city of Gyeongseong, causing many disappearances and untimely deaths.

LikeAsh vs Evil Dead,Archive 81came to a premature ending.

Unfortunately, this was the fate of manycanceled Netflix series in 2022.

The Terroroften does not get enough praise despite being a phenomenal show in the category.

When it comes to top-notch scary TV shows,Channel Zeroimmediately comes to mind.

‘Are You Afraid of the Dark?’

Very few other shows had presented child-friendly horror stories in such a way before.

While other shows, such asR.

Even adults have admitted to finding certain episodes to be downright terrifying.

But this actually works because it gives the scary aspects more time to develop and shine.

Each episode follows the same basic format, yet it still manages to keep surprising viewers at every turn.

The Cryptkeeper makes for a creepy yet charismatic host and is easily the best part of the show.

Of course, there can’t be a zombie series without some decently creepy moments, too.

Unlike its titular monsters,The Walking Deadis still very much alive thanks to a series of high-profile spin-offs.

That said,it’s still just as exceptional and frightening as the book is.

The zombies inKingdommakeThe Walking Deadlook likeSesame Street.

Unlike typical zombies, they cannot be truly killed except by fire.

This is one no zombie fan will want to miss.

The show boasts the return of Clement and continues the story where the film left off.

Anyone who loses the game is executed.

Indeed,each new season proves bigger and better than the one before it.

The genre-bending narrative throws science fiction, horror, and romance into the mix with great results.

Unlike other horror shows, this is not an anthology series.
