If you’re running low on horror to watch across TV and streaming apps, we have a list of shows worth looking forward to this fall.

We live in a world where even the crippling effects of a global pandemic still mean we have plenty of viewing options over a multitude of streaming services (and you’re doubly blessed/cursed if you still collect physical media). Everybody’s circumstances are different, though, so if you’ve successfully “completed Shudder” and are looking for something new to tickle your fancy, fear not: we have your hook-up for the horror-centric TV shows returning (and premiering) this fall.

Deadline recently provided a list that covers “more than 200 cable and streaming series bowing from September 1 through December 31.” (It bears noting that the list does not include specials or movies.)

In weeding out the series that would be of greatest interest to 1428 Elm readers, we offer the following:

  • September 4 – The Boys (Amazon Prime)
  • September 18 – Ratched (Netflix)
  • October 2 – Monsterland (Hulu)
  • October 4 – The Walking Dead: The World Beyond (AMC)
  • October 8 – Supernatural (The CW, final season)
  • October 11 – Fear the Walking Dead (AMC)
  • October 13 – Tell Me a Story (The CW)
  • October 19 – Unsolved Mysteries (Netflix)

These outliers have yet to receive an air date, but you can expect them on the following nights:

  • Thursday – Evil (CBS)
  • Sunday – Two Sentence Horror Stories (The CW)

So there you have it: everything from zombies to possession to anthologies to superheroes behaving badly, and all points in between. Some shows, like Monsterland and Ratched, are brand new, while mainstays like Fear the Walking Dead and Supernatural will offer fans the creature comforts of their respective established worlds.

Based on Nathan Balligrud’s story collection, Northern Lake Monsters, Monsterland looks particularly interesting. Hulu is teasing some details on the 8-episode season, and the behind-the-scenes talent includes Nick Pesce (The Eyes of My Mother), Wesley Strick (the Cape Fear remake), and Scott Kosar (The Machinist), which should make horror fans sit up and take notice. With the recent success of Shudder’s Creepshow, it would be great to have another quality anthology series to look forward to.

Looks like October is definitely going to make horror fans happy!

Next. THE WALKING DEAD. dark
