If you grew up watching Rod Serling presenting your favorite and science-fiction and horror ruled your attention, then you have a particular taste in TV shows. Finding shows like the Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, the Addams Family and other eerie shows can be hard. It is rare to find similarly creepy and plot-twisting shows, but your search is over.

Here are five shows that have a modern take on the odder side of life.

1. "666 Park Avenue"

This is probably the oldest show on the list being released in 2012, but it still makes the cut." 666 Park Avenue" follows the supernatural events that occur in the apartment complex in Manhattan, New York. While the main characters are a newly arrived couple, the show does not fail to show the various lives and troublesome situations of the other residences.

2. "Black Mirror"

"Black Mirror" is an anthology British TV show that brings a new perspective on technology. While technological advancements can help society run better and be a form of entertainment, there can also be a dark side to them. This show lets the black mirror of our electronics reflect the flaws that society can bring out in them.

3. "Dimension 404"

Hulu original, "Dimension 404" is the most recent show, being released in April 4, 2017. This show is a mixture of the "Twilight Zone" and "Black Mirror," but with a twist. While it is an anthology that opens up with a narrator and focuses on technology, it has a totally new take on science fiction.

4. "Channel Zero"

If you are a fan of creepy-pastas than "Channel Zero" is the show for you. While it is about one man's memory of his favorite childhood show, "Candle Cove," it has plethora of events to send chills down your spine.

5. "DarkNet"

More on the horror side of TV, "DarkNet" follows the horrors of an internet site and how it connects people. The show does not follow the rules of conventional thrillers, but it is full of plot twists that leave more questions than answers.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
