Everyone loves to watch a little horror during spooky season, but are you sick of your horror being crammed into an hour-and-a-half or two- hour block? Are you looking for a weekend's worth of horror to binge? Look no further, here are some excellent horror television series available from the Hedberg Public Library.
The Haunting of Bly Manor
Mike Flanagan's follow up to the very popular The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor is just a haunted house story with a lovely LGBTQ love story woven in. Strange things begin to happen when Dani arrives at Bly Manor to care for two young children.
Penny Dreadful
Set in Victorian London, Penny Dreadful brings classic literary horror characters to life. Seductive, horrifying, and dark, it follows Sir Malcom and his team, including a clairvoyant and an American cowboy, as they hunt down the city's monsters.
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin
It may surprise you to see Pretty Little Liars on a horror list, but this spin off is actually a classic slasher and a really good one at that. Five high school girls are brought together as a masked killer and an anonymous texter begin to torment them over their mothers' pasts.
