The highest-graded horror TV shows we have reviewed, best first.
Widow's BayA cursed New England island played for laughs and for real dread, and the Emmys handed it fourteen awards for both.Read the review
Kingdom (2019 Series)Joseon court politics and a plague of the starving dead fit so well together that the zombies become the argument, not the gimmick.
Buffy the Vampire SlayerThe show that taught American television how to build a season, and how to make its teenagers talk.
The Last of UsThe third episode is a self contained love story about two men and a strawberry patch, and it is extraordinary.
The Fall of the House of UsherMike Flanagan's last Netflix series turns Poe into a gleeful, gory satire of an opioid dynasty, superbly cast and more fun than frightening.
Midnight MassMike Flanagan's most personal horror series, carried by Hamish Linklater's priest and slowed by monologues that stop the clock.
The Haunting of Hill HouseA haunted house series that is really a family drama about grief, with ghosts hidden in the background of shots.
CastlevaniaThe game adaptation that proved Netflix could sell grown-up animation, at its best when Dracula is a grieving widower rather than a monster.
CarrieMike Flanagan rebuilds Carrie for the social media age with real compassion, and loses some of the terror on the way.
The SandmanReverent, expensive and beautiful, and slightly airless in the way that reverence usually is.
