Channel Zero is One of the Most Terrifying Creepypastas
Creepypasta is an internet term used to tell tales that bred ironic horror figures in original horror stories. And the inspiration behind each season of Channel Zero is definitely taken from different creepy horror stories. Adapting a new creepypasta story each season, helped the show to become one of the scariest TV shows ever made in history. The concept of this anthology TV show is full of unsettling subject matter that also expands on the urban-legend-themed story.
The Haunting Of Hill House Builds a Wall of Trauma
Mike Flanagan’s Netflix horror series used Shirley Jackson’s famous novel as their roadmap to explore the heart-wrenching dramatic storyline. Eventually, the series got exceptionally good reviews for telling the story about grief and mental illness with such an authentic gravity. The house-as-body metaphor also expanded on the traumatic aftereffects of living in a haunted house.
The Terror Made a Real-Life Tragedy More Explicit by Adding a Monster.
Since horror fictions are often based on real events, the stories tend to leave their aftereffects for a long time. The Terror is no exception in that. It is an adaptation of Dan Simon’s 2007 bestseller that retells the story of a damned Arctic expedition. The story of Two Royal Navy ships, Erebus and Terror, embarked on the doomed voyage led by Sir John Franklin. Along with the real story, supernatural effects were added to make it even a more terrifying tale.
American Horror Story Revitalizing the Survival Horror Genre on TV.
It is arguably one of the scariest anthology series focused on telling different stories in every season. The 10 seasons of AHS centered on various flavors of horror with different character arcs. From Murder House to Double Feature, the groundbreaking series is bringing horror to a larger audience than ever before. Although each season of AHS has its ups and downs, the series gave its viewers a chance to experience every taste of fear.
The Outsider Follows in Footsteps of Stephen King
According to the widely received reviews, the series is an instance of being a better show than the actual adaptation. Moreover, it is one of Stephen King’s recent works to appear on TV. The series followed a seemingly straightforward investigation story into a gruesome murder of an 11-year old boy. However, later in the show, an insidious supernatural force edges its way into it and leaves terror all around.
