Got Scared? Best Horror/Mystery TV Shows to watch

We are BIG fans of horror, mystery, sci-fi and supernatural genre shows. It’s the mysteriousness of the plots that twists our minds into this never-ending web of happiness. It’s food for our minds, I guess, if I had to simply explain it. So I put together my top 10 shows to watch, if you want to feed your mind with our kind of fuel. From number 10, to my number one, they are all worth your time.

10. LUCIFER (Fox)

This show just aired its first season over the winter/spring 2016 on Fox. I wasn’t so sure about it, as it seemed kind of dumb. The devil himself decides to take a vacation from his devil-ing duties in Hell and moves to L.A. only to meet a beautiful lady detective, and help her solve crimes. I watched the first episode, and then the second, and the third, and next thing I knew, I was into it. It has the perfect combination of crime, drama, comedy, and mystery. The plot of the series got better as it went on (I was a little afraid it was not going anywhere), as more characters are introduced and a more substantial storyline is revealed. Plus, Lucifer is British, and, well, he’s quite charming.

9. ARROW (CW)

Arrow first aired in 2012 and since it's debut, it has stolen a piece of my heart. Stephen Amell, who plays millionaire (spoiled-brat-womanizer) Oliver Queen, is a fantastic actor. After a boating “accident” Oliver gets stranded, alone, on a remote island, where he must learn to find his real-self in order to survive. Throughout the show, flashbacks of Oliver’s life on the island explain why he does the things he does, as he returns home. Oliver adopts the alter-ego/vigilante identity that everyone knows as “The Green Arrow”. This storyline is so rich, dark, and full of surprises that you will not be disappointed.

RELATED: NETFLIX NIGHT

8. SHERLOCK (BBC One)

I love everything to do with Sherlock Holmes. From the many movies and books to the random stories incorporated into other shows; so when I learned about the series Sherlock (starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman) I squealed. The episodes in this series are broken into only three, one and ½ hour, episodes. Each episode is like a mini movie in itself. The ingenuity, and the level of acting, along with the cleverness of the plot is just marvelous. The only thing I dislike is the fact that the seasons are so far apart. You must wait over a year (or two) for a new season to be released. Season 3 ended in 2014, and season 4 is set to be released sometime this year, hopefully.

7. HUMANS (AMC)

The first season came out in 2015 and it was only 8 episodes. This show explores a world where artificial intelligence takes a step forward, and humans are trying to deal with it, both morally and technologically. In this story, “synths” (as they call AI-robots) are here as helpers and each household has one to assist with chores. But a few synths are not who they seem to be. They are more than intelligent; they feel, they reason, they remember. And there is, Leo. A human who also has part synth in his body (must watch to know why). He will do anything to find his synth family and be reunited them, before they are destroyed.

6. SLEEPY HOLLOW (Fox)

A spin off on the original movie. Yes, it has a headless horseman, and the iconic Ichabod Crane. It is filled with witches, demons, and even angels. I was very skeptic at first because a whole TV show dealing with a headless horseman can get old after a while; but they found a way to make it interesting and, now going on season 4, they’ve introduced other folk characters and villains to keep things fresh. Can’t wait to see what season 4 brings!

5. AMERICAN HORROR STORY (FX)

What’s really neat (if you can call horror and gore neat) about this series is that while all 4 seasons consists of (roughly) the same cast of actors, the story lines change from season to season. A haunted house, an insane asylum in the 40's, a coven of witches in New Orleans, and a traveling circus/freak show in the 50's. Season five which hasn't been released yet on Netlix was my favorite so far alternating time periods in a haunted hotel. (Lady Gaga nailed it in her TV debut!). It should be available in October 2016 at the same time that Season 6 will debut on TV.

4. DAMIEN (A&E)

What I like about this series is the fact that it reminds me of the Omen; which was a big part of my childhood mystery/thriller-watching upbringing. The Omen was one of my favorite horror movies, and the whole idea of Damien Thorn fascinates me. In this series, Damien starts off not knowing he is the Antichrist. Now 30 years old, he’s lived his life as a news photographer, photographing the world's most dangerous zones, without a scratch. But, when mysterious deaths start to occur all around him, he realizes something is wrong. Little by little he learns his fate. The question is, will he allow the monster in him to be woken?

3. BATES MOTEL (A&E)

Another spin-off of a classic. Roughly based on the storyline of the movie Psycho, Bates Motel integrates the good-ole Norman Bates, and his crazy, but not-so-crazy mother, Norma. The depth and the way the characters are written, combined with outstanding acting, makes this series one of my favorite. Its mysterious, terrifying, twisted, sad, real, and surreal all at the same time. It’s one of those things that makes you say “well, this could happen in real life” or “I wonder how many people think like that”. Yeah, it’s spooky because it’s very realistic. By the way, this show gets better and better with each season.

2. THE WALKING DEAD (A&E)

No horror/thriller list is complete without mentioning zombies. But, for those who don’t know, this show is way more than just dead walkers. It’s about people, and the aftermath of the end of the world as everyone knows it. It’s about the most inner feelings of our society, it’s about how far, we as humans, would go to survive and to defend our family. It’s not about the zombies at all (well, yeah, just a little bit about the zombies), but about the depth of the characters and their individual stories. This show is amazing as far as the complexity and the freedom it provides to explore human behavior in a end-of-of the-world setting.

1. SUPERNATURAL (CW)

And now my number one pick. Supernatural. 11 seasons of awesomeness. We have been watching this show since the beginning, that’s back in 2005. I mean, after 11 seasons (going on 12) it becomes part of your family. In fact, the Supernatural fandom considers itself a family. Dean and Sam Winchester are two brothers that were brought up in a world of demons, ghosts, ghouls, witches, and angels. A world where they grew up hunting (the family business) supernatural creatures, in an effort to keep their world secret from the rest of humanity. Throughout the course of 11 years, they have made friends with angels and demons alike, and have fought Lucifer himself when preventing Armageddon from happening (thanks boys). I love this show because it has the perfect combination of action, horror, mystery, comedy, not to mention that the Winchester boys are delicious eye-candy (insert cheesy smile here). The main actors, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins are constantly involved with the fandom, as well as their own charities and events to help society overcome many “real ghosts”, like mental illness, and depression, which are overlooked and dismissed by many.

Besides my top 10 favorite thriller tv shows, are others that I actually just started to watch. Preacher on AMC is a great one so far (only a few episodes into the first season). And of course there's the cable TV shows like Game of Thrones and Dexter - but that's another review. So many great shows to choose from! What's your favorite and why?

ANNOUNCING GAMMA ZETA LIE SORORITY'S 4th ANNUAL PRE-PLL 7B RECRUITMENT DRIVE!!! WANNA BE A MEMBER OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS GROUP IN THE FANDOM? Here's how we do & all of the official rulesies & stuff, cuz twitter doesn't gimme enough creative license to explain it all over there where we do most our recruiting. If you're reading this, it's likely because I needed a place to explain to potential new recruits who we are and what we do, since twitter character counts suck for this kind of thang. If you were sent a link to here, it is because we might think you have what to takes to be one of us, & don't have enough room on twitter to explain to you why you are being tapped for our lil secret society. At GZL We Are: The Best of the Best Theorists in the Fandom! It's a huge honor to get asked... in fact it's the only way one can join a secret society, so that's how we do. THIS YEAR WE DOING THINGS A BIT DIFFERENTLY & 💌 WHAT AN INVITE MEANS IF YOU SEE ONE IN YOUR INBOX ON ANY SOCIAL MEDIA!!! 💌 In years past, we did a strict "Invite Only" recruitment drive based on seeing amazing theories and skill sets we needed for our detective work Solving -A as a team in GZL, and publishing our findings before the finale airs. To date: we have a perfect solve record! So we began to take on new shows during the booooring hiatus season, to keep our skills sharp and all. During PLL season we all come together and buckle down to kick some ass in the fandom theories. And we are very good at what we do! We know a lot of you fans out there are too! So this year we are sending out our #GZL tapping scouts to tap whomever we come across in fandom posts and theories and blogs whom we think are good potential recruits based on a not-as-strict method, which means YOU just might get in this year! Might as well go out with a bang and share the amazing GZL experience with as many worthy fans as we can find. But our actual application process will be a bit easier just to give more fans the chance to join in PLL's last season. Why not open the doors?! Ok, we will do it "Secret Society Light" style. Meaning, we still wanna see your excellent posts with theories and ideas and good questions to mar and all that good stuff. But maybe your question to Mar will get you and invite! We still wanna see those good thoughts and theories on #Twitter, #Tumblr, #FB, #Youtube, etc. In the past we recruited strictly from Twitter. This year you just may see us... EVERYWHERE!!! 👀💋 IF YOU WANT US TO SEE YOUR THEORY OR POST: Tag me at @SoliSacrdotibus + #GZL on twitter or here on tumblr with #GZL, so we can find your posts, and we will be sending out our cryptic lil invite links in people's inboxes on whatever social media we find you on! 😜✊🏽 So make sure to also follow me here and on Twitter so I can dm/pm invites! We want fresh blood this season. It's our last as a strictly PLL theory co-op group. We will likely continue by doing other shows in the future since we have this whole thang now, & people know who we are. And Yes, the #PLLBlacklist, where theory thieves get named so the fandom knows to avoid them, & other PLL party foulers as well WILL BE RETURNING TO KEEP THINGS HONEST IN THE FANDOM! (Know someone who stole your theory? Copyright infringements on your fanfic someone else used? A bully in the fandom harassing other fans? (Cuz let's face it: GZL is the ONLY group entitled to do that! So keep your fanitude at the door lest we see it!) Dm/PM me their handle privately and we can Investigate and list them/l. Secret societies are required to do a philanthropy project (charity) Each year, so it's our little gift to the fandom which has given us so many talented creative people over the years. To date: we have recruited lawyers, detectives, graphic designers (like the one pictured here, one of our coveted award templates), TV show hosts, code experts, foreign language speakers, psychology experts, all sorts of people from all walks of life around the world, with skills that help when Solving for -A as a group (& no egos allowed!) The project was envisioned by myself and a good friend in the fandom who decided if one fan could not solve it alone completely, a group might do better. We were all very good at this by s3-4 on our own, and we all had seen amazing theories out there. So we began secretly recruiting these people. We kept this secret for a while. We all became good friends over the years. I am truly blessed to have such an amazing team. Chances are one of your PLL fandom buddies could secretly be a member and you might not even know it. Lol. We liked it that way. But times change and so do we. Hey, even the monarchy had to modernize! 👸 To date we have a few Theory & Contest Winners as well as a few other honors, and have had correct theories for the last several seasons in a perfect record. We leave our own theories at the door to work as a team and it's fun. So it's not a place to share personal blog links for self promotion (unless you are agreeing to allow #GZL to use parts of it and credit you accordingly, when GzL goes to publish the Master Theory we come up with). We work hard and we play hard. It was always hard to get in cuz we were the best of the best... if you even knew about us in the early days. 😉 Next thing we knew, despite stating our group was "Invite Only & Merit Based," #PLL fans were banging our door down. We also pride ourselves on being able to "Keep A Secret" 💋 and our rules state once you are allowed in, you cannot share posts from within the group, outside elsewhere. You basically take a vow of secrecy on what we do within the group. Any theories we are working on, we've put a lot of effort in all season as a team and cannot risk that being ruined cuz of a few blabbermouths. So we look for maturity, good detective skills, good memories, and being able to get along, cuz we are all fellow sisters/brothers in this society. So we don't share member's private business outside the group either or tip the fandom off if we happen to have any leads. Make sense? This is NOT a group for basic #fangirling about your cast crush... although we do have some specialized awards for hard workers, including our much beloved: Naked Toby, Nekkid Jason, & Hot Ezra awards to reward members. We need people who speak foreign languages, are good with timelines, good with techy skills (understands the technology -A uses on the show, like how to hack, & stuff like Mona does). We also need people good with numbers for our code breakers team, people good with literary references, getting all the right screenshots, compiling and posting mar's clues, keeping tabs on the many evergrowing "-A" clue handles, people who write articles or recaps on the show and have good minds for remembering the tiniest details, etc. Everyone has a skill that can be of use to our group project Solving Uber -A for 7b BEFORE the finale airs! Are YOU up for the challenge? Of course we don't allow any swearing, bullying, personal attacks, blabbermouths, and people just out to join groups to promote their own blog... trust me if you're an asset to our group project, the members will know your private blogs you have for your own stuff as well, cuz we all become pretty good friends. We don't allow off-topic posts during PLL season about other shows and stuff. We have an amazing team of Admins, & myself: The Housemother... yes I can be as strict as The Grunwald, but don't let that scare you. I reward hard work as well! I've even helped get dream jobs for members, cuz in a secret society people tend to help each other out. As we begin our #PLL 7b GZL Recruitment for 2017, we will be keeping an eye out for fans out there with potential to invite to join. And whereas in past seasons we've maybe only let a few new members in, this season I want to add as many awesome fans as we find worthy!... And so many of you are! We see your amazing theories and edits. We see your questions to Mar. Like a good secret society: WE ARE ALWAYS WATCHING!!! 👀 If you've been lead here by a link or someone tagging your post with #GZL, or this link explaining who we are and what we do, now you know. It's a big honor to be invited and we don't usually open the doors this wide. So this is YOUR season to get into #GZL if you've always wanted, or wondered what we're about or how we always get things right and come out on top at the end of every season. This is a basic outline of our rules and expectations as well. If you can adhere to it (& the real list of rules in our group description) we'd be happy to have to your superfan brainpower on our team... then you can get credit in our Master Theories (We really should Call them "Master Solves" cuz a theory is only a theory till it's proven correct! Then it's the -Answer. 😉 If you like what you see here, cuz you found this link in your inbox cryptically like we do, the next step is the official Invite link! 😘💌 Cuz we totally plan to keep this thang going after #PLL ends... we took a vote and decided to continue on doing other new shows. And you can get in on our last season of PLL and ground floor of whatever we go on to do next! We won't likely open the doors like this again. It's just not good business for a secret society. They're supposed to have all these standards and secrets and stuff. Lol. But why not in the last season of PLL do something cool like let more people join and participate in what will be a life changing experience for fans. *And Current Members: feel free to add anything I missed here below in the comments. I did this quickly to have something up. And don't judge my typos... it's late. Lol. And stay tuned on this blog for other #GZL & #PLL related posts. This is where it will all happen... where we solve dis shiz! And check out my other cool series in my archive: Tupeck the Rapping Parrot's ThugLife Bible Study. Home Brewing Tips & Recipes Movie & TV Recaps that Will Leave You Laughing ... and much more! Note: Our own AMAZING resident Graphic Designer #GZL (Gamma Zeta Lie sorority, the best of the best theorists in the #PLL fandom, where we secretly meet to discuss ideas and such) made this awesome GZL logo, and award template for members who win this coveted status. I ❤ U & Your Amazing GraphicSkillzies Becks! 😘 Keep Up The Good Work! She gets full credit for this design. Find her on Twitter here: @becky411. Some other members on the twitter fandom to follow: @kellie_tv @kkthanks @charlesgame @SimplyMeSCC @emma_eden @thepllfanxx @moviesandtv23 @floptina @BamitzTylerr @madboss889 @notxme @thesnootyllama Sisters/brothers are forever! 😘❤ AT GZL WE GO BIG OR GO HOME! So come join us. But be prepared to pitch in however we can use you. We always have lots of stuff to do! And that's how awards are won... and careers are made. I took the liberty to tag a few of our fav PLL blogs we've had our eyes on or think hold promise. Maybe we will choose a few of you! 😉 Reblog this post to help us get the word out about our new #GZL recruitment for 7b for a second look at your blog and invites... @hollymariecombs @ellamontgomeryx-blog @marleneking-blog @marlenekingisa @imarleneking-blog @imarlene-fuckshitup-king @imarlenegatsby @imarlene008-blog @shaymitchdailyy @shaymitchellbeauty @shaymitchellteam @emisonisforever @emisonislifeok @emison-sashay-endgame @endgamezria @sashapietersedaily @sashapieterses @prettylittletheoriesandspoilers @prettylittleinvestigators @monavanderslayy @monavanderwaal @monavanderjesus @lucyhale @lucyhalefansite @lucyhaleheaders @lucyhale-daily @ashleybenson-style @ashleybenson-peru @ashleybensonfashionstyle @pretty-little-liars-hints @prettylittleliarsquestions @prettylittleliarsxxxx
