10 Best Horror Anthology TV Shows

10. Black Mirror

This show ranks at the lowest point in the list only because it doesn't fully commit to the concept of horror. Despite this, the series still examines our lives in a dark and twisted way and in many instances its episodes are designed to frighten. Although it's not always the shows priority, its horror aspects are bountiful.

Black Mirror has many impressive outings that send shivers up the audience's spines. Examples like White Bear and Shut Up & Dance give the audience a constant sense of dread and unease. This is the legacy of the previous seasons of the show, and sadly it has felt itself decline in later years. The latter end of the show certainly no longer has that frightening edge to it that the first seasons did.

Focussing on how technology can effect us, the episodes within this concept are akin to a modern format of the genre. Examining how the things that make us comfortable could be secretly destroying us is a perfect contemporary outlook on horror that doesn't feel patronising.

Black Mirror has brought dark and scary scenes to the world of the mainstream in a way that many of the other shows in this article have not and for that it deserves credit.
