Welcome to the Twilight Zone

[alittlehuntress]

Here's another list(s), this time it's about television. If it involves horror, supernatural creatures, magic, aliens, strange happenings...I'm interested in watching. I have to admit I do watch a lot of TV thanks to platforms like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, binge watching is a reality of mine. I don't always have the chance to watch the shows when they're on so I have to resort to online streaming. That said, a couple of these I started watching because of my older siblings.


👻👻👻

Penny Dreadful

I loved this show from the get-go: It's Gothic, it's horror, mixes several creatures, and it stars Eva Green. That's all I needed. Sadly it's ended but I'll always have three season to look back on fondly.

Stranger Things

I lost eight hours of my life watching Stranger Things and I'm not even mad about it. When I started I told myself I was only watching the first episode, many gasps and happy tears later I was done and I knew I would be needing more of Eleven in the near future. References to movies, tv shows, real life happenings, an amazing score/soundtrack and Winona Ryder made it one of my favorite shows of the year. Season two can't come fast enough.

Hannibal

I think my love for Hannibal Lecter's been established previously. When I found out there was going to be a TV adaptation I knew I was going to be watching. And it didn't disappoint me, it was beautiful visually speaking, and in my opinion it was a cinematic gem. Though it only lasted three seasons it's worth watching. Even more if like me you're a fan of Bryan Fuller's other shows. His touch is there, albeit more twisted and dark.

Supernatural

Oh, how I wish I knew how to quit this show. I've been watching SPN practically since I was a child, and here I am still. Following the Winchesters in their travels across the country, saving people, hunting things, you know, the family business.

In the Flesh

Zombies are everywhere. Like vampires I think suddenly there was a saturation of them, but among the zombie themed movies and shows, I loved In the Flesh the most. It shows us a different side of the usual zombie who wants to eat brains, these un-dead people are human, they feel and they hurt and just like everyone else they're looking to fit in. I just wish the BBC hadn't cancelled it, I still have lots of questions.

Bates Motel

Norma and Norman Bates what a twisted relationship. This show has its share of disturbing happenings, and if you're a fan of the movie (Psycho) you'll probably enjoy the show too.


Black Mirror

While this show doesn't seem like straight up horror--there are no ghosts and guts--it can certainly make your skin crawl. It focuses on technology and the repercussions it can have in our lives. It makes me paranoid sometimes.

Other shows: Damien, The Exorcist, Grimm, The Walking Dead, Fringe, Teen Wolf, American Horror Story, The Living and the Dead, True Blood, The Twilight Zone, Ash vs. Evil Dead, Being Human, Scream Queens, The X-Files, The Strain, Warehouse13, Twin Peaks, Goosebumps, Hemlock Grove.


🎃🎃🎃

I also like to watch reality shows like:

Ghost Hunters

Paranormal Witness

Ghost Hunters International

Fact or Fake: Paranormal Files

And cartoons, tons of cartoons. Creepy, spooky, whimsical and full of fantasy.

Over the Garden Wall

I don't think I can write down what I liked about this show (I'd probably just gush about it) and do it justice, instead there's this:




Gravity Falls

I was sad when it ended, luckily I can go back and watch Mabel and Dipper Pines whenever I want. The Mystery Shack will be waiting.

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters

(I watched all of it recently).

Courage the Cowardly Dog

It's creepy and it's funny, and unsettling at times. And I love every second.

Haunted Tales for Wicked Kids or Historietas Assombradas (para Crianças Malcriadas).

This is a Brazilian cartoon. I found it earlier this year and liked it.

The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy

Mandy is my spirit animal. Or one of them anyways.

🎃🎃🎃

Anime (it deserves its own list)

Elfen Lied

Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories (this is an anthology of short horror stories, and it is really, really creepy)

Death Note

Hellsing

Another

Tokyo Ghoul

Parasyte

🎃🎃🎃

Every year since I was a little girl I waited for the Halloween episodes of The Simpsons, here's one of my favorite intros of the Treehouse of Horror.
