8 More Scariest TV Episodes To Watch This Halloween

Black Mirror's concept is a simple but effective one, presented in an anthology format designed to show a dystopian future ruled by cold hard technology rather than genuine human interaction. Playtest, an instalment in the latest series of the show, sees Cooper sign up for a gaming company trial that installs a program into the back of his head to simulate augmented reality gameplay - and, as would be suspected from a stranger jabbing a micro computer into your neck - it takes a turn for the worst.

The game devolves into survival horror, Cooper trapped in a mansion facing jump scares laced with a deeper reflection of his own private insecurities. It's an unsettling dive into the psyche that makes you question everything you see, but is anything really as scary as it seems?

Well, maybe that giant human-faced spider actually. That definitely is.
