scary-tv-the-walking-dead-large

With the inclusion of several 2011 TV series adding to the roster, the official “10 most frightening horror TV series ever made” has indeed changed within the last year. We of course have a few classics that will most likely never get topped (case in point – Kolchak: The Night Stalker), however the public interest in all things horror has gained momentum thus resulting in a network need to accommodate. With “The Walking Dead“, scaring… More

Twin Peaks (TV series)

Twin Peaks title 1

While it’s feasible that there’s the odd person over thirty years of age out there that didn’t see the Twin Peaks series when it was first televised in 1990, it’s unlikely that they are unaware of the cultural run-off from the groundbreaking show. Catchphrases like “She’s dead – wrapped in plastic” and “Who killed Laura Palmer?” adorned T-shirts, fans held coffee-and-doughnut parties, and large sections of the world went quiet for an hour every week.… More

TV Review: Wonder Women (TV Pilot) (2011)

REVIEW:

Well if you haven’t heard, the soon to be Wonder woman series has been canceled before it ever saw the light. Initial scuttle arised over the costume, though even with the re-designs underway NBC simply passed and buried it before it saw its network debut. Upon request we received a screener work print that we just had to take a look for ourselves. After all, Wonder Woman is a pretty hip character and… More

TV Review: Reaper (TV Series) (Season 1) (2007)

REVIEW:

Last year was a great season for television, in my opinion. Why? Because after injecting our lifeless bodies with way too much reality tv, I had almost given up on TV. I was talking about scripted TV like it was the “old days”. And then out of nowhere, we were saved with at least a handful of decent TV and horror content driven to boot. With the exception of “Fear Itself” which we… More
