Thursday Movie Picks: Halloween + Television Edition: Horror


Wow, I can't believe it's already the last Thursday of October. Time really flies away. Anyway, since it's the last Thursday of the month and it's October, the TMP, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves (if you still don't know what it is, shame on you!) has a double theme, Halloween and Television, and this time we have to pick three horror series. Not my favourite genre, but I watch so many, it was easy to pick three more or less great shows. 

The Walking Dead (2010- )
Sheriff Rick Grimes wakes from a coma only to find that the dead are coming back to life and eventually leads several groups of survivors. Walkers (zombies) aren't the only problem though since it's plenty of evil people around. I really used to like this show. I started watching it only a couple of years ago and I saw 5-6 seasons in something like a month. It's not as good as it used to be now, but I still watch it because I don't quit.

Fear the Walking Dead (2015- )
It's a spin-off of the previous one set on the West coast during the same time frame Atlanta was under attack and Rick was in a coma, and it shows the beginning of the outbreak that caused people to turn into zombies. This one has been a rollercoaster. Season 1 was good, I almost gave up at season 2, but season 3 was quite good. 

Hannibal (2013-2015)
This one explores the early stages of the relationship between Doctor Hannibal Lecter and his patient Will Graham, an FBI criminal profiler. This is easily the best of my picks. And it's also one of the best phycological thrillers I've ever seen. I loved every single episode of this (it's such a shame it's over) and Mads Mikkelsen is fantastic as Hannibal.
