10 Best Slasher Horror TV Shows

10. Dead Of Summer

Released in 2016, supernatural slasher Dead Of Summer was produced in order to coincide with its network ABC Family’s rebranding to Freeform, as a spearhead for a slate of more serious, young adult focused programming. Unfortunately, this appearance on a seemingly new and unfamiliar channel meant that few horror aficionados actually saw it.

The lack of viewership for the show is a shame, as it capitalises on some of the best slasher nostalgia - with a late eighties summer camp setting, a well-acted collection of scared and stunning teenagers, and a mysterious killer on the loose. Admittedly, the drama is schlocky, but lean into the silliness and as the first season progresses you will discover twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Though intended to be an anthology series, with second and third seasons reliving similar settings with new casts set in the 1970s and 2000s respectively, Dead Of Summer was cancelled after its first outing. Still, the show proves an enjoyable watch, and would certainly provide a worthy snack for the seasoned slasher fan.
