Dark Shadows (1966)
Considered the show that ushered horror onto TV, Dark Shadows was a melodramatic serial about the Collins family, who encountered all sorts of supernatural creatures in their home of Collinsport, Maine. Vampire Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid) became the most notorious character on the show and is the model for the myriad of tragic/villainous vamps that have been created since.

Horror almost never actually scares me. Carnivàle is one of the few shows/movies that did. The final episode, “New Canaan, CA,” contains two of the most chilling scenes I’ve ever seen in either a show or a movie.
