Do you love a great scare as much as I do? I'm not talking about ridiculous stuff like most B-flicks or great shows but soft thrillers, as I call them, like The X-Files, Supernatural, Gotham, Grimm, iZombie, or American Gothic. If you do enjoy horror I thought you might like to know my 10 favorite modern, horror shows. My list includes anthologies, serial killers, supernatural events, and other sub-genres. I find horror to be not only entertaining but incredibly interesting. For instance, "What turns a human being into a psychopath?" "Is there any truth in ghost stories?" Everyone is drawn to the dark side to different degrees, but "what keeps us from going over the edge?" Let me know what you think and comment your favorite horror shows too!
