These horror shows are ideal for a night of thrilling entertainment and are guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat and provide the perfect dose of fright for any horror enthusiast.

Now, let's dive into the nine best horror shows of 2024 that should definitely be watched during your next late-night binge!

Parasyte: The Grey

Based on the bestselling Japanese manga series Parasyte by Hitoshi Iwaaki, Parasyte: The Grey takes place in the fictional city of Namil in South Korea. When parasitic creatures begin falling from the sky and invading human bodies to take control, it's up to the anti-parasite task force, Team Grey, to eradicate the threat before they completely take over humanity.

The series mainly centers around a young woman named Su-in, who becomes partially infected by a parasite, putting her in a bizarre coexistence with it.

Them: The Scare

Them: The Scare is the second season of the well-liked Prime Video horror series Them. In 1991, LAPD Homicide Detective Dawn Reeve is tasked with solving the brutal murder of a foster home mother. She's determined to bring the killer to justice, but as she gets closer to the truth, she uncovers a sinister force that begins to ensnare her and her family.

Pretty Little Liars: Summer School

I'm still not over the Pretty Little Liars reboot series being canceled this year. In my opinion, it should've gotten at least two more seasons, and its cancellation will forever hurt. But although the horror show was canceled, I still recommend watching it.

Its second season, titled Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, continues to follow Imogen, Tabby, Noa, Faran, and Mouse, who, after the traumatic events of the first season, find themselves having to attend summer school at Millwood High. The girls hope to leave the past in the past and start fresh, but their plans are derailed when they become the target of a new villain, Bloody Rose.

Uzumaki

Uzumaki is an anime adaptation of the popular Japanese horror manga series of the same name by Junji Ito. The story takes place in the fictional town of Kurouzu-cho, which is cursed by a malevolent supernatural force tied to spirals. This curse causes the town's residents to become obsessively drawn to spirals, leading to terrifying and deadly consequences.

Hysteria!

After a beloved varsity quarterback goes missing, rumors of occult activity and Satanic influence in the small town of Happy Hollow, Michigan runs rapid. Amid this hysteria, three misfit teenagers in a struggling heavy metal band take advantage of the town's newfound obsession with the supernatural by reinventing themselves as a Satanic metal band. However, their plan quickly goes wrong when they become the targets of a local witch hunt.

Evil season 4

Evil returned with its fourth and final season on Paramount+ in May, and what a great way to wrap up the horror series. Throughout four seasons, we watched a team consisting of a forensic psychologist, a priest-in-training, and a tech expert as they worked together to investigate supposed supernatural events and demonic occurrences.

Interview with the Vampire season 2

Interview with the Vampire is another horror series loved by many that made its return this year. It's based on The Vampire Chronicles book series by Anne Rice and revolves around the complicated supernatural love story between two immortal vampires, Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt. A third season is currently in the works at AMC and will cover the second book in Rice's Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat.

Dead Boy Detectives

Another unfortunate cancellation this year was Dead Boy Detectives. It's a supernatural horror series following two teenage ghosts who operate a detective agency specializing in supernatural mysteries. They team up with a clairvoyant to investigate paranormal cases. However, their plans are disrupted when a powerful and malevolent witch enters the picture, threatening to interfere with their work and complicating their efforts.

Agatha All Along

Agatha All Along is hands down one of Disney+'s best miniseries ever. Taking place after the events of WandaVision, we follow the infamous witch Agatha Harkness, who regains her freedom with the help of a mysterious goth teen. Together with several other powerless witches, they embark on a dangerous journey down the Witches Road, a series of trials that promise to award its survivors with what they've been missing if they reach its end.

Here are four more must-see horror shows to be on the lookout for in December 2024:
