_McCloud_ Season 7, Episode 6 “McCloud Meets Dracula”.

_Blood Ties_, a 1991 TV movie about the Carpathian-American community. (Don’t call them vampires. That’s an ugly racial slur. 🙂 )

I would suggest ”La Cabina”, Spanish TV movie from 1973. About 30 minutes long, with no dialogue, but simply great.

Alright, I’m finding myself needing to scratch a nostalgia itch. I’d really like to watch some 80s/90s shows, such as

Friday the 13th The Series,  
Tales from the Dark Side,  
The Outer Limits (1995)  
The Twilight Zone (1985)

And whatever else I can’t think of…anyone know where some of this stuff is streaming?

Any good 80s/90s horror TV shows or anthologies? Streaming available?

Monsters (1988) is great on Amazon Prime.

I’m one episode into [Dimension 404](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/dimension_404/s01) on Hulu and I’m impressed. It’s very Black Mirror-ish. Not bad at all.

Wow. Can’t believe I’ve never heard of this one; it sounds good.
