10 Horror TV Shows Scarier Than Any Film
1. The Outer Limits
Probably the oldest show listed here, The Outer Limits
was a nineties revival of the sixties show of the same name, a cheaper and less
satirically pointed rip-off of Rod Serling’s seminal Twilight Zone.
So, wait, you may wonder, why did this remake of a rip off earn a place on this list over the more obvious likes of HBO’s gory Tales from the Crypt or the frequently terrifying The X-Files?
Well, because The Outer Limits revival has a. secret weapon neither of those shows can boast—weaponised bleakness.
With almost every episode culminating in a mean-spirited last second twist which more often than not ruined (or just straight up took) the life of our hero, this nasty, blackly comic anthology consistently leaves viewers shook, spooked, and shell-shocked by its brutal conclusions.
