TV COLLECTION- Supernatural TV shows and horror anthology series
I love horror anthology series and supernatural TV shows. Basically I will watch anything once as long as it has a supernatural element. These shows- good or bad- tell stories of ghosts, witches, vampires, werewolves and mysterious events. I would love some suggestions to add to the list.
I tried to chose more horror and less sci-fi. That will be a different list!
For those of you who are unable to decipher this on your own, this list- as well as all of my others- features titles in chronological order.
