10 Scariest Shows on Television: 'American Horror Story,' 'Twilight Zone,' 'The Walking Dead' & More [PHOTOS]
While not the most popular TV genre, horror/thriller shows have been scaring and exciting audiences since the beginning of television.
Starting with shows like The Twilight Zone, the TV viewing audience has craved horror and darkness out of their entertainment. The genre has seemingly never been as popular as it is in the current television landscape, with shows like The Walking Dead and American Horror Story drawing in some of the highest ratings on television.
