10 Horror TV Shows Scarier Than Any Film

4. Dead Set

Somehow managing to mine even darker, more cynical territory than the later smash hit sci-fi series Black Mirror, Dead Set was sharp-tongued critic and comedian Charlie Brooker’s first foray into television.

Answering the age old question “if you’re so fond of criticizing. why don’t you write a show yourself? ” with a defiant middle finger, this gory and ultra-bleak miniseries saw Brooker imagine a zombie apocalypse wherein the mindless denizens of the Big Brother house are the only ones safely ensconced from the havoc plaguing the planet.

Sharp, witty, and ultimately unrelenting in its harrowing and dark vision, this one is must-watch TV for fans of The Walking Dead and Z Nation.
