I’m trying to find some cool stuff to watch in the Halloween spirit. I’m looking for shows, series or documentaries instead of the longer investment of a full movie. I’d love suggestions for non-fiction as well as fiction. Stuff like The Twilight Zone, Over the Garden Wall, Face Off (the syfy make up competition) American Horror Story (which I don’t particularly enjoy) Reality stuff like: Paranormal Caught on Camera Unsolved Mysteries Also and good Documentaries that fit the vibe would be great as well. ---

Movies, but an anthology pair of movies that play like mini-tv-episodes. \*\*Trick r’ Treat \*\*- really excellent **Tales of Halloween** - not as good, but streams on Amazon Prime ---

> [@Shoeless](#): > > College student, actually. > > But why are you watching the first two stories? Skip right to the third one. 😉 Alright so we made it through the first two and gave up. Because of this post we watched the final part. I have to say, it’s the best thing I’ve ever seen in the history of ever. I’m so completely thrilled with how that went out. I can just imagine saying “but officer, the suitcase was cut FROM THE INSIDE OUT.” ---

**Friday the 13th The Series** , aka **Friday’s Curse** , is a fun and often scary TV series from the 1980s which has nothing to do with the Jason Voorhees movies. ---

> [@Sicks\_Ate](#): > > Is “In the Tall Grass” on Netflix good? Is it on to hijack to ask for good scary streaming movies? I thought it was pretty good. I read the novella upon which it’s based and had all but forgotten about it. Patrick Wilson gives a great, creepy performance and there are some trippy, disturbing visuals. Not outstanding but definitely worth watching in celebration of Halloween. As to the OP, I watched several eps of _Haunted_on Netflix (there’s a thread about here)and it is more than a little creepy. Speeking of Netflix, as I was scrolling through I saw tons of horror titles that looked promising, presumably due to the season. I bet if you check out the titles pages you can find hours of the programming you’re looking for. ---

> [@Dr.Colossus](#): > > I certainly don’t mind. So tell us–IS it good? Not sure yet, I only watched the first 15 minutes or so…wanted to get some input before I commited! I’m currently watching “Requiem” on Netflix. I’m liking that, kind of a creepy mystery. ---

So much of this stuff suggested is hard to find streaming. I can’t find Ft13TS streaming or available for download anywhere. However, you caused me to remember Monsters (1988) and all three seasons are available on Prime. So that’ll be fun 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/spooky-halloween-tv-show-suggestions/841729.md?page=2)
