Subject: Favorite TV Horror

Written By: yoidy on 02/04/07 at 9:41 pm

What's your favorite TV horror? I got a quick list to get things started, maybe you can add to it.

1. The Night Stalker original movie
2. The Night Strangler
3. The Night Stalker TV series (Darren McGavin was great!)
4. The Savage Bees (I'm a child of the 70s, so I don't think you've heard of this movie, but it's the only really good bee movie around. I wish they put it out on DVD already!)
5. Snowbeast (just kidding!)
5. Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo (again, I'm a child of the 70s)
6. Salem's Lot original movie
7. Let's Scare Jessica To Death
8. The Other
9. Trilogy Of Terror with Karen Black
10. Devil Dog: Hound Of Hell

Loved those three also

One I thought was good was a short-lived series starring Robert Englund called Nightmare Cafe

two ike movies in there, devil dog and savage bees. (well, he was in the sequel, "revenge of the savage bees," so i've definitely heard of it. but i've never seen it. i've gone looking for it on ebay a time or two.)

devil dog is, of course, one of my all time favorite movies of all time. i uploaded a couple of clips from DD onto youtube in fact.

how you could you not immediately love movies named "revenge of the savage bees" and "devil dog: the hound of hell"? those names rock.

heaven help me, i remember when salem's lot came out. that was a phenomenon.

would the burning bed count as horror? or drama?

and there was some classic tv horror flick from the 70s, early 80s, name escapes me. i remember it was about a haunted house and the house's street address was "13666." which was... stupid. i remember being like 10 years old and seeing that and going, okay, i'm a 10-year-old chump who'll fall for anything and even I think that's stupid.

The burning bed is drama. If you've never seen a drunken, abusive, redneck husband before, then it could be considered horror!

Tia, I'm trying to figure out your gender!

i thought of it, i think. it was burnt offerings. wasn't that the one with the haunted house on 13666?

One of my favorite 'Made for TV' movies would have to be "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark".  It's about a young couple who move into a mansion that had small demon creatures.

Buffy The Vampire is also a good show, too.

Mine, which is not on the list are Tales From the Darkside, Monsters and Ghost Story AKA Circle of Fear  . Let's Scare Jessica to Death and The Other were made for the screen not TV.

I had some recommend to me American Horror Story and still haven't checked it out. I don't even know if it's still on. I did like Grimm though.

Is Bates Motel worth watching?

Subject: Re: Favorite TV Horror

Written By: wagonman76 on 01/09/20 at 10:05 pm

Tales From The Darkside, Monsters, Twilight Zone (the color ones from the 80s).

Favorite made for TV horror movie is Dark Night Of The Scarecrow.

One normal show episode that really creeped me out was the episode of Webster where he went behind the clock and climbed the ladder and saw a woman in a chair who wouldn't respond.

No, it is set in modern day (cellphones, etc).  I nixed it after E1.

Nice list.  I used to watch them all along with Alfred Hitchcock and Friday the 13th the Series.

"When Michael Calls"  - 1970s movie with great Fall/Halloween setting.
