Scary Good: The Best Supernatural TV Shows

By Eric Schneider

Okay, some of these TV shows overlap into sci-fi, but they all have a solid paranormal presence, ranging from undeniably otherworldly (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) to the subtly surreal (Twin Peaks). Often featuring unsettled apparitions or brooding bloodsuckers, these macabre television programs provide haunted havens from the unfortunate realities of typical prime-time fare.
