Monday Movie Madness-TV Spin

I got to thinking about some of my favorite creepy tv shows this weekend. This is what came to mind:

The Twilight Zone: I'll admit I haven't watch a lot of TZ episodes but Nightmare at 20,000 ft. is a classic and definitely creepy.


I know The Munsters and The Addams Family aren't exactly scary, but they were great and they have the best theme songs eva!





Another fun one is The Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors specials. My fave was Bart reading the Raven, but I couldn't find a clip of it.


I wasn't allowed to watch American Gothic when it first came out, but I did finally watch a few episodes a couple years ago. Good story, but it gets a little weird after the first 6 episodes. It only lasted one season but still gathered quite a cult following.

Tales from the Crypt and Amazing Stories had their creeptastic moments. Who doesn't love a montage of short freakish stories?




Fear Itself was a mini tv series on NBC that premiered about a year ago. It recently came out on DVD. Similiar to Master of Horrors and Tales from the Crypt.



I have only seen bits and pieces of Millennium, but it looks pretty good!! Produced by the same folks who did X-Files.



X-Files may also fall into the SciFi category, but we all know how scary this show could get. One of the most frightening episodes was Home from season 4. Very Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

The new TV show, Fringe, is very similiar to X-Files and worth checking out. It tends to be more on the SciFi/bioterrorism side of things, but the episode about the creature living like a gopher from this season was pretty spooky.


And the best creepy show award goes to . . . . . Twin Peaks. Bob, the Black Lodge, people talking backwards. Disturbing all the way through. Be sure to watch the Prequel to the TV show which is the movie, Fire Walk with Me.
