Spooky season is the perfect time for some good dramas to check out. Dramas like Stranger Things, Masters Of Horror, Black Mirror, From, and the American Horror Story series. Are all well beloved and known amongst horror enthusiast and the general public. For each one of these series that are popular, there are several that just never caught on. With that here are 5 horror dramas you probably don't remember.
All Souls-UPN
Debuting on UPN in April of 2001, this horror drama actually was a interesting concept. It followed the staff at a teaching hospital that is haunted, beget by the spirits of the hospital dating back to the civil war. Victims of various experiments that have been conducted at the hospital over the years. The show created a mythology for the series that was to be revealed as it progressed, but the show was pulled after 2 episodes. Remaining episodes were aired later that summer, but All Souls was cancelled with only 6 episodes airing.
GvsE-USA network
G vs E was a USA network drama that aired during the days of Pacific Blue and La Femme Nikkita. Entertaining series in their own right, but not the quality of later USA network originals like Suits and Burn Notice. Debuting in the summer of 1999, the drama had a comedic tone to it as well and a very 70's aesthetic. It followed partners Chandler and Henry agents of the "Force", a agency that works under the leadership in heaven against "The Morlocks" who operate as soldiers for hell.
Even though they are technically dead, Chandler and Henry walk amongst the mortals and have strict rules about their mission and the rules they abide by to survive. The show was later retitled to Good vs Evil, moved to the Sci-Fi Channel and lasted one more season. Which is a shame because it had potential.
Midnight, Texas-NBC
A fairly recent drama that no one seems to remember, Midnight, Texas debuted on NBC in 2017. Main character Manfred Bernardo (François Arnaud) who is a psychic, guided by the spirit of his grandmother to travel to the town of Midnight. Once there he finds a community of various "types", vampires, werewolves, witches, warlocks, fallen angels etc. All who have come to the small town to get away from something, and be around common type of people. While uniting to combat outside threats.
The show managed to get 2 seasons before being cancelled, and lost in the consciousness of people's minds.
Fear Itself-NBC
This 2008 horror drama
Fear Itself was an anthology series much in the same vain as
Twilight Zone or
Masters of Horror. Actors and actresses such as Eric Roberts, Elizabeth Smart, Wendell Pierce, Anna Kendrick, and Brandon Routh all appeared in various episodes for the series. While having buzz and potential the show never caught on. Debuting in June of that year, it was never really given a chance being preempted for the Olympics that summer. With no definitive date on when it would return, the show only aired for eight episodes, with an additional four filmed and completed never to be seen.
50 States Of Fright-Quibi
50 States Of Fright caught a raw deal, it was released during the height of the pandemic on a upstart streaming platform that was shut down by the end of the year. Executive produced by Sam Raimi,
50 States of Fright was an anthology horror series, that told a horror story from each state. Since Quibi was intended to provide short form storytelling, each episode was only around 10 minutes long. Thus the show was able to produce 20 episodes spilting them into 2 seasons before the service was dissolved.
