8 More Scariest TV Episodes To Watch This Halloween
1. Days Gone Bye - The Walking Dead
Whilst The Walking Dead might have turned into caricature of its title in recent years, shuffling ever onwards despite being past its sell-by date, the glory days of the series are still some of the best pieces of television there are. The very first episode of the franchise set up something special, introducing us to characters that we'd grow to love and watch die over the coming seasons. It really is brutal when you take a look back at where it all started, and the events that have happened since.
Functioning like an American version of 28 Days Later, Rick Grimes wakes up from a coma and has to adjust to life after a zombie apocalypse. Instantly setting the infectious tone right from the outset with legless corpses and scavenger hunts for supplies, the episode bubbles up into a rapturous finale involving the horde, that is unmatched by any zombie content on screen since.
It all started here, and the first is one of the very best pieces of horror TV out there.
