Do you remember these scary TV movies?
Just because it's made-for-TV doesn't mean it's not scary!
Some of the most effective, underrated pieces of horror history were made for TV. Throughout the seventies, eighties, and nineties, networks provided decent-sized budgets for made-for-TV terrors.
There's something subversive in taking the glow of the small screen and using it to scare viewers. We're lulled into a false sense of security, in our places of safety, with the familiar rhythms of commercial breaks. And then: HORROR!
Let's take a look back at some of the scariest TV movies of the past. Let us know which ones you remember, which ones you don't, and which ones were your absolute favorites. We'll definitely miss a few, so please let us know which omissions you love in the comments section below! Happy hauntings!
