honestly, "scariest" tv show
 

i saw a post asking about the scariest tv show. i was a bit annoyed at the sarcasm of the post due to there being nothing related to the subject on here, so i decided to post my own. what do all of you truly think the scariest tv show is or was? even if it isn't the "scariest", there are plenty of choices out there. (tales from the crypt, friday the 13th the series, tales from the dark side, outer limits, twilight zone, dark shadows, etc etc etc.)

I'd say that none of the horror television series could really take the crown for me because they all have some amazing episodes.



Oh damn, Lord RawK is annoyed, quickly everyone remove all sarcastic and sardonic threads before we feel the wrath of his scathing comments... all delivered in lowercase! :eek:

speaking of, i did a random post back in the grammar/punctuation thread i made. i won't say the same thing here because of it being for tv but it got me thinking.

scarry
 

the only movie that scared the shit out of me was phantasm , but that was because my older brother scared me , he freaked me out he said hey boy like in the movie , now im fine with it

Most if not all TV shows are lame.

Buffy and Angel are dross.Great for the little ones i agree but nah,just childish fun for a kid to pass away an hour or so.
I know many love these shows but why,sure Gellar is fit but does that mean its a great show,no.Great for an afternoon with the young `uns and nothing more.

Dont mean to upset any Buffy/Angel fans here but thats my take on the subject.

The last three weeks i have been watching what is termed as `6 Films to keep you awake`.A series of short movies about 75/80 minutes long.One or two have been fine but one which i saw last week was superb.Titled `To Let`.They are Spanish with subtitles but very easy to read and doesnt distract from the movie experience.

Moonlight?
 

What about Moonlight? Anyone ever watch that? I have never actually seen an episode but my buddy works on SFX on the show. Well he did until it was cancelled last week. Poor Joel Silver, Speed Racer bombs and no TV pickup for Moonlight.

Guess he'll have to sulk with his millions....

The Night Stalker!
 

A fantastic made for tv movie. The series was decent as well.

when i was a kid - i distinctly remember Rod Serling's Night Gallery scaring me.

the particular episode was something about some kind of supernatural leopard

Some of the television shows are pretty good IMO. Twilight zone, X-Files and some episodes of Tales From the Darkside. None of them are scary though. For me the scariest television shows are shows like America's Most Wanted and others like it.

I always thought Night Gallery was scary when I was younger, especially the episode A Question of Fear. Not really because of outright scariness, but because of the psychological aspects.

Now, none are really so scary. Most that have already been mentioned have had their moments...Tales from the Darkside, Twilight Zone, and one not yet mentioned, Masters of Horror. Sometimes they delve into darker areas of human nature but most of the time they don't begin to touch the horrors of real life.
