The season premiere was the creepiest hour of TV this year that didn’t star Kyle MacLachlan. Plus, co-star John Carroll Lynch does fantastic supporting work. No-End House initially appears to be a standard haunted-house tale - the new mansion on the end of the block that promises six rooms of spine-shattering fear - but episodes like “This Isn’t Real” owe more to David Lynch and David Cronenberg than anything else. The first season was a solid outing, based on the Candle Cove story, but the second has stepped up the weird terror to another level. Ending its four-season run, SyFy’s Channel Zero is based on the most popular tales from the web horror genre known as creepypasta. The least-famous show on this list is one you should definitely watch if you’re a horror fan. The writing on this episode by Drew Goddard and Jane Espenson (again) has really held up over time, as have the deeper, more heartbreaking fears with which it plays.Ĭhannel Zero: No-End House, “This Isn’t Real” Or if you could talk to your murdered girlfriend only to have that discussion turned into a nightmare.

Written and directed by Joss Whedon, “Hush” is a stand-alone masterpiece, the rare hour of an episodic series that someone could watch and love never having seen the rest of the show.
Who could guess that one of the scariest hours of TV history would be largely silent? In “Hush,” Buffy and the rest of the Scooby Gang cross paths with the Gentlemen, a nightmarish group of well-dressed demons who steal your voice before they cut out your heart. The most effective horror is often not about what is said, but what is seen. It’s as innovative a half-hour of television as any show had the guts to air in the last decade. Murai and cinematographer Christian Springer were influenced by The Shining in the design of the episode and Glover’s whiteface make-up was compared to Michael Jackson, although there is a lot more going on here beyond parody.

Darius (Lakeith Stanfield) goes to a mansion to pick up a free piano with a U-Haul, and gets sucked into the realm of a man named Teddy Perkins, played by Glover under so much heavy make-up that Stanfield reportedly didn’t even realize it was him and he isn’t credited in the episode itself.
The great director Hiro Murai collaborated with Glover on one of the most unsettling half-hours of TV in the 2010s, an experience that unfolded without commercial breaks. In general, Donald Glover’s masterful FX show would be classified as a comedy - but then there’s the sixth episode of season two, which is something else altogether. With that in mind, here are the scariest ones to make our cut - the 40 best TV episodes to watch when you’re looking for a truly chilling scare. Trimming this list down to thirty was difficult: There are truly terrifying episodes of Dexter, The Outer Limits, Fringe, and others that just barely missed the cut, and you could put together an entire separate list from the very best of Rod Serling’s groundbreaking masterpiece. The truth is that horror has been a reliable part of the TV landscape for generations, and it’s a remarkably diverse genre. When people think about TV horror, they probably think of the zombies of The Walking Dead or an old episode of an anthology series like The Twilight Zone or Tales From the Crypt that haunted their dreams - or, lately, Netflix’s very scary The Haunting of Bly Manor. With Halloween right around the corner, it’s the perfect time for a marathon of television frights. This post was originally published in 2017 and has been updated to include even more terrifying television.
