10 Horror TV Shows Scarier Than Any Film
5. Masters Of Horror
Most of the shows on this list benefit from some level of consistency, using long seasons to ramp up tension patiently in a way conventional films could never hope to due to their limited runtimes.
Not so with this gory cable offering from American network Showtime, a dark anthology series which brought together some of the world’s finest horror directors to each write and shoot their own short hour-long instalment for the show.
Tones and styles wildly vary as the show calls up on the likes of Gremlins’ Joe Dante, An American Werewolf In London’s John Landis, Suspiria’s Dario Argento, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s Tobe Hooper to helm their segment, with each episode featuring a new, horrifying vision of terror.
