10 Weird Horror TV Shows That Are Worth Watching

10. The Outer Limits

The first anthology series on our list is The Outer Limits. Often in the shadow of the more popular Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits concentrated more on the science fiction elements of horror rather than on the fantasy.

Season 1 had a strong focus on creatures and monsters that lurk in the dark, but later seasons would begin to experiment with more existential themes such as possession and mind control. As we've already noted, the series had a heavy focus on science fiction, which was gaining popularity in the 60s and 70s.

Episodes would centre on alien abduction and human experimentation with a gritty film noir cinematography that helped create a strange and often uneasy viewing experience. Although it never gained the mass popularity of The Twilight Zone, it still had a dedicated following and it leaves an influential and lasting legacy.
