Twilight Zone (1985)
The granddaddy of horror anthologies gets a colorful mid-1980's makeover, attracting talent like Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman in front of the camera, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury and J. Michael Straczynski behind. While the show had enormously big shoes to fill (namely, those of writer Rod Serling), it produced some highly-regarded stories of its own, including Nightcrawlers, Profile in Silverand Dead Run.
BEAUTY & THE BEAST The Series
Gorgeously produced fantasy series about a lionhearted man-beast named Vincent (Ron Perlman) and his relationship to beautiful New York district attorney Catherine Chandler (Linda Hamilton). While the show's themes attracted legions of hopeless romantics, there's plenty here for genre fans to sink their teeth into, including Perlman, who went on to star in Alien: Resurrection and the Hellboy movies; monster-maker Rick Baker's impressive make-up effects; and a jaw-dropping creepy 1980's New York, a place crawling with enough freaks, psychos and evil to fill dozens of horror movies.
MONSTERS The Series
When Tales from the Darkside went dark, one of its producers inked a deal for a similar anthology show called Monsters, making it an unofficial follow-up of sorts. Although both shows are twisted anthologies with twist endings, Monsters is heavier on the creature comforts, with many storylines centered around a beastie or two. Monsters is unavailable on DVD in the US.
Poltergeist: The Legacy (1996)
Okay, first of all, this series has nothing to do with the movie Poltergeist or its sequels. So if you're hoping for little Carol Ann to shout "they're here," it ain't happening. The series launched as a two-hour pilot, which told the story of Rachel Corrigan (Helen Shaver), a psychiatrist who's impregnated by a malevolent spirit during a trip to Ireland. Her ordeal puts her in contact with The Legacy, a group of San Francisco-based paranormal investigators trying to save the world from supernatural evil. Rachel ends up joining the group and, well, who you gonna call?
TALES FROM THE CRYPT The Series
Do you dare to listen to the Crypt Keeper's ghoulish stories? TALES FROM THE CRYPT brings you gleefully twisted tales of horror and terror, terrible villainy and poetic justice, all served up with a sardonic sense of black humor... all the better to scare you with!
Based on the notorious EC horror comics of the 1950s and featuring many big-name stars, the Emmy®-nominated TALES FROM THE CRYPT is perhaps the greatest horror anthology show in the history of television.
FREAKYLINKS The Series
Zoinks, Scoob! Derek and his friends run a Web site dedicated to the investigation of paranormal events. This leads them to clues about the mysterious death of Derek's twin brother, Adam. The show is the brainchild of David S. Goyer, who co-wrote the screenplay to "Batman Begins," and Haxan, the folks behind "The Blair Witch Project" (which explains all the handheld camera stuff).

Invasion (2005)
Don't miss the week-long Chiller Marathon!
When an unexpected hurricane strikes South Florida, a small town's inhabitants literally find their lives turned upside down. But for dedicated park ranger Russell Varon, a divorced father of two who recently married television reporter Larkin Groves, the storm proves to be merely a backdrop for something far more sinister. Always skeptical about the paranoid conspiracy theories of his shiftless brother-in-law, Dave, Russell may have to revise his thinking when a number of bizarre occurrences start taking place in his community. With William Fichtner, Eddie Cibrian and Kari Matchett
MILLENNIUM The Series
We miss Y2K. The horror stories of financial markets collapsing, power grids failing and, doggone it, how would we survive if the clock on our VCR stopped working? "Millennium" plays the doomsday bug like a concert violinist, plucking our paranoia strings with tales of supernatural serial killers and apocalyptic visions, as seen through the eyes of forensic profiler Frank Black. The show was created by Chris Carter, who produced "The X-Files." With Lance Henriksen and Terry O'Quinn.
