And what goes bump in the night isn't just a nightmare, but your actual nightmare. In this show, everything is always wet, it's always the middle of the night, and all routes lead through dark corridors and into murky alleyways. But, in Monsters, special effects and practical horror makeup combine with lighting techniques and a powerful sense of place to make Cracow itself a puzzle box of horror. The Polish series pits a band of university students against a host of paranormal threats - ancient evils, mysterious wraiths, demons with deadly vendettas - and doesn't cut away from the action whenever Alexsandra (Barbara Liberek) has to suddenly strike down whatever beast from beyond has shown up with an axe to grind. If you're looking for a healthy dose of atmosphere with your horror, Cracow Monsters has you covered.

The sixth season premiered in June, with EW's critic observing how the show is "defying genre expectations" this go-round. Some of the more horrifying episodes include "Playtest," about an augmented reality game that targets the user's fears "Fifteen Million Merits," in which Daniel Kaluuya plays a man who must cycle on an exercise bike to generate electricity and earn a living and "Metalhead," about a woman on the run from killer robotic dogs in a postapocalyptic world. Each self-contained episode features some form of innovative technology gone too far, moral implications be damned. While technically classified as a science fiction series, Black Mirror deals enough in our existential fear of the future that we would rate this as one of the scariest shows on television.
