Fear Itself
We need more horror tv. Walking Dead is awesome, and American Horror Story has proven there's an audience for dark, nasty thrills.
I'd never heard of Fear Itself back in the USA, even though I was living there when it aired. It's only as it's coming out here in Japan on DVD that I've found it. It's a horror anthology, a series of "short stories" featuring different casts and scenarios.
It's not perfect. Acting and story vary from episode to episode, and it was all censored for mainstream TV. But still, the chills and creative spark are there. Too bad it didn't last longer--I'd love to see what it could have accomplished if it really had the time to take off.

As a huge fan of dark fantasy, horror, and the like, that's most of what I'll write about here. Most horror/fantasy/sci-fi is badly made, and there's this silly idea that that means the genres themsel
As a huge fan of dark fantasy, horror, and the like, that's most of what I'll write about here. Most horror/fantasy/sci-fi is badly made, and there's this silly idea that that means the genres themselves are bad. Rubbish! By that judgment, all genres are meritless. When was the last time a romance film lived up to something of, say, Jane Austen's?
