Some years ago, I made a bit of a stir with a series of posts gathering together a veritable cornucopia of illustrious horror bloggers and other online critics from far and wide to help me determine the best of the best in the horror genre. With tongue-in-cheek flair, I called our little group "The Cyber Horror Elite". Here are the lists we collaborated on back then:
The Top 50 Greatest Horror Films of All Time
The Top 25 Greatest Horror Films of the Modern Era
The Top 20 Foreign Horror Films
The Greatest Fright Fiction of All Time
The "Horror Canon"
One category I left out in those days was television series. In my naivete, I just wasn't sure there were enough quality choices to make for a captivating list. But these days, there is just so much quality stuff on TV, horror and otherwise, that I was led to reconsider my position. And so I reassambled the once vaunted Cyber Horror Elite for one more ride.
As we speak, I'm tabulating lists submitted to me by some of the coolest online horror scribes around, trusted friends and colleagues all. They have until Monday to get me their personal lists. From there, I'm putting together our definitive list of the Greatest Horror TV Series of All Time, which I'll be posting next week. So keep your eye on this space in the days to come, Vault dwellers. This one's going to get you talking...
Sounds great! I hope Friday the 13th: The Series is on the list, at the top! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's actually been getting a surprising number of votes! It remains to be seen, however, if it will make the final cut...
ReplyDeleteI'd be surprised if it were to make the list, but I would certainly nominate the Danish series Riget by Lars von Trier. It puts all others in the shade.
ReplyDeleteYou zombie pimp you...
ReplyDeleteless than 3 weeks until Walking Dead! Woot!
Keir, I'm not giving anything away, but that name has indeed come up in the voting!
ReplyDeleteAnd Kate, you know how I do ;-)
