The best thirteen scary TV series are the following, well, because I know so!

 

13) Dead Like me (2003)

Creator: Bryan Fuller

Plot: This television miniseries is about this girl who wanted nothing to do with her family but did not expect to die off this soon either. Well, one day out of the blue death came for her, and before she knew it she was no longer alive. She was the newest addition to the death agency. Dead like me is a very light hearted TV original series which deals with death and what happens after that in a very dark comic way.

 

 

 

 

 

 12) X-Files (1993)

Creator: Chris Carter

Plot: These miniseries were one of the fewest at the time which dealt with extra-terrestrial beings. We became familiar with Agent Mulder and Agent Scully, their beliefs and their reserves on the extra-terrestrial activities that the FBI is trying to cover up. But the truth is out there, we are bound to uncover it. These miniseries were very profound and informative in the subject of paranormal and extra-terrestrial paraphernalia.

 

 

 

 

 

 11) Kingdom Hospital (2004)

Director: Craig R. Baixley

Writers: Stephen King & Richard Dooling

Plot: The King himself wrote this storyline to these miniseries. The kingdom hospital is haunted with evil spirits and with an innocent one as well who’s a little girl that died in the hospital. Every patient that get checked in the hospital will either survive the injuries or die of sudden death based on what their lives have been like up to that moment. The residents of Kingdom Hospital are very resilient among them stand some doctors who are good and evil spirited which levels everything out. I don’t see an end to these miniseries.

 

 

 

 

 

 10) Tales from the Crypt (1972)

Director: Freddie Francis

Writers: Johnny Craig & Al Feldstein

Plot: This Crypt is one skeletal looking pimp. His laughter before showing any short stories is even creepier than the story itself. I love watching it though because each short story had a valuable lesson in it. Either you got it at the same instant or many takes later, you will get it.

 

 

 

 

 9) Tales from the dark side (1984)

Director: Richard Blackburn &Terence Calahan

Writers: Franco Amurri & Mark Patrick Carducci

Plot: These were some very hardcore horror stories told out loud. Each tale gets my heart pumping for more. They were a little longer than the stories from Tales from the Crypt and a bit more horrifying. They gave me nightmares growing up but that never really made me stop watching them.

 

 

 

 

 

 8) "Buffy" the vampire slayer (1997-2003)

Writers: Matt Kiene & Joe Reinkemeyer

Plot: These miniseries were the bomb, I remember I would not go to sleep on the week days until I finished watching Buffy; I was addicted to it because of her butt kicking vampire ass style. She also was good at sticking them in the heart with a sharp end piece of log. Or maybe it was because of her intense romance with Angel. I love that she was the queen b in Sunnydale. These miniseries had me going for years and inspired me to join Tae Kwon Do, so that I could kick ass too.

 

 

 

 

 

7) Medium (2005)

Writer: Bernadette Mcnamarra

Plot: Waking up at odd time of the night, seeing the dead, seeing the killer, seeing the afterlife, is all in a day’s work for this medium. She can balance work and family and she does a damn good job at both. Some of us can’t even do one right. Imagine that! Anyway, if only we could all be mediums, right. Except for me, I love surprises; I love being taken by the moments, not knowing them beforehand. Let the chips fall where they may is my motto.

 

 

 

 

 

6) The 4400 (2004-2007)

Directors: Morgan Beggs & Milan Cheylov

Writers: Scott Peters & Nick Wauters

Plot: When I saw the first episode of this show, I was mesmerized, I thought to myself this could really blow up, it was a very genius touch to the idea of humans being abducted by aliens why not by humans from the future. And thereafter every episode brought more clarity to me. Their theme song is very appropriate to the show; I can see this show for years to come in the top charts of TV miniseries just like the X-files.

 

 

 

 

 

5) Angel (1999-2004)

Creators: Joss Whedon & David Greenwalt

Plot: Angel is the same one from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" except that he had another love interest other than Buffy; cast members from Buffy made their apparitions on Angel vice versa. Angel had taken off and became the newest sensation in TV miniseries for awhile when it first debuted. No other show could beat Angel the vampire who kills off other vampires because they were evil and had for best friend a gay vampire and a couple of hot humans.

 

 

 

 

 

4) The twilight Zone (1959 -1964)

Creator: Rod Serling

Plot: There is not one person in America that could tell me that they have never seen "The Twilight Zone"; I would ask you where on Earth you were living, if you say no. This show is a veteran in TV miniseries. Just like Tales from the dark side and Tales from the Crypt, the host which is a human voice in this scenario, gives you an introduction to the next story and the moral of the story. These stories never end right but they are worth watching, they make you dig deep in your mind and live you with good values.

 

 

 

 

 3) Supernatural (2005-2007)

Writers: Brad Buckner & Eugene Ross- Leming

Plot: The Manchester brothers are on a quest to rid our world of the demonic, the poltergeists, and the witches that lure in the obscure places to take on the weak ones. They will burn them at the stake; none of them are at rest while the Manchester brothers are still patrolling our streets. They made a pact with their dad before he died to free the world of the supernatural and that’s what they will do.

 

 

 

 

 

 2) Heroes (2006-2007)

Creator: Tim Kring

Plot: The first episode of this show was all about: free the cheerleader, free the world! I was thinking this was some high school miniseries but it broadens up way wider than I could have ever imagined. This is about a group of kids with super powers; they all have a different type of super power which complements each. They will use their power for a common goal: to save the world. But the question remains who will use their power for their own personal gain, and who will use it for evil, that is always what it comes down to. So far, the pure hearted ones are already identified. Nevertheless, there could be a strip of evilness living inside of each of them unknowingly.

 

 

 

 

and our number one pick is ........................................................................................

 

 

1) Smallville (2001-2007)

Creator: Alfred Cough & Miles Millar

Plot: "Somebody save me, don’t care how you do it, save me!" This theme song says it all. Clark Kent could not be any more gorgeous than the actor who’s playing him. This is my favorite show not only because Clark is so well shaped in all the right places, but also because of the way they twisted the storyline a bit to give it more spunk. We all know the story of superman and how he is supposed to end up with Lois. But in the TV miniseries, they start out with Lana and Chloe whom we know will never end up with Clark and in the second season or so, they bring in Lois but they act as if they will never be hitched. This show keeps you guessing what else they can throw in there to take you off guard. Every episode is meticulously put together. I own every seasons, I don’t ever get tired of watching them. I live for this show.

 

 

 

Is it because of Lex Luthor, or the gorgeous Clark Kent, well I can't keep my eyes off the screen whenever it's on...and I feel you guys can't either probably for different reasons though.
