The Twilight Zone

The Twilight Zone is a timeless classic. It is full of inventive storylines and gets more creative and daring with every episode. The show was also the inspiration behind Ariana Grande’s Halloween costume. So there’s a little extra incentive.

Inside No. 9

Inside No. 9 is a BBC series that tells a series of standalone stories about mysterious events that take place in different houses. The one thing all the houses have in common is that they are all number nines.

Electric Dreams

Electric Dreams is loosely based on concepts from Phillip K. Dick’s sci-fi novels. Like Black Mirror, each episode tells a unique story about a strange futuristic world.
