01 A classic sci-fi horror anthology revival that still holds up in patches.
American Horror Story built the modern template for anthology horror, and Black Mirror showed the format works without a drop of supernatural blood. Channel Zero is the most underrated entry here. The Outer Limits revival still holds up in patches, Slasher resets its mystery each season and plays closer to a whodunit, Into the Dark ties horror films to holidays, uneven but with highlights, and Room 104 sets every episode in one hotel room with inventive results. Creepshow, The Twilight Zone and Two Sentence Horror Stories round out the list.

07 A respectful modern revival of the format that invented this entire genre.
08 Adapted from internet creepypastas, and far better than that premise has any right to suggest.
09 An anthology series imagining how new technology could go quietly, plausibly wrong.
10 A different genre playground every season, and still one of the most influential horror anthologies on TV.
