8 Best Anthology Shows Ever
2. The Twilight Zone
The Twilight Zone is the oldest anthology show on this list, which first aired in 1959. The series ran for five years and has since been rebooted in America last year for CBS. Primarily, each episode tells a mystical narrative, in which characters solve unique problems with unique ideas, thus entering the 'Twilight Zone' within their own minds.
Each story tends to centre around morals and consequences. The design of these episodes were often strange, and included an opening voice over that spoke of new dimensions and worlds, always ending with "Next stop: The Twilight Zone!".
This series saw the beginning of unique ways to tell horror narratives, often using concepts that took small aspects of everyday life and made them terrifying.
The new series has reimagined the classic tales that fans remember from the old franchise, including episodes such as the most famous Nightmare at 30,000 feet, that has since been referenced in a variety of shows and movies across history from the original episode.
The show is a classic, and is guaranteed to bring back haunting memories for old family members.
