Once upon a time, there was just AMC’s Fear Fest. These days, horror is “in” – Jordan Peele is making horror movies and winning Oscars, horror is taking over tv as well.

TV execs are taking the hint, and it seems like every channel is getting into the Halloween spirit this year. Here are a few of them. I’ll update this post as more programming is announced.

When a young college professor Adam and his pregnant wife Lisa suffer a traumatic event, they find themselves along with Lisa’s sister Becky haunted — and connected — to a malicious entity. It is only when Adam calls upon Dr. Clark, a professor of parapsychology at the university, that the true horror of what they have encountered becomes clear.

from 1981 & 1983
