I'm pretty glad Ash VS Evil Dead only got 3 seasons. Every season was fantastic, but by the third season they were starting to recycle ideas with having yet another evil Ash. I'm glad it ended on such a high note instead of falling apart over time with the well running dry.
Funny thing. I met Sticky Fingers on the set of my friends movie. This was probably his first film and he basically played himself. It’s so funny watching him now in Blade series cause I can’t even see him play a serious character without bursting into laughter. lol.
The Chucky series is really good, & I’m pretty sure it’s why we are getting the Halloween & Crystal Lake shows, however, I doubt they will be anywhere as good
There was one in the UK in 1980 called Hammer House of Horror which ran for one series but was a spin off of the Hammer Horror films but was also an anthology series as each episode was a different story but still worth a watch if you like Hammer Horror style of stories
I remember a show from the 90s called She Wolf of London. I don't know if it had any connection to American Werewolf but always assumed it did. I was like five years old when this aired and all I remember about it was that there's a lady who was bitten by a werewolf, obviously, and she helped a detective solve supernatural crimes, I think.

@@greenkoopa What gave it away? The fact that it was labeled as being created with AI? Feel free to spend an hour and a half to write something better.
Fun fact: may consider the Friday the 13th tv series to be one of the source ideas when SyFy created their Warehouse 13 series which in turn then allowed The Librarians to come back once more
I've got the complete series of Poltergeist The Legacy on DVD. Having grown up on Charmed, a Supernatural show set in San Francisco is right up my alley. I haven't watched the entire series but what I did watch, I enjoyed.
This was a great post! I had forgotten about many of these shows (even the newer ones- LOL!) until you discussed them. Of the ones I did watch, BATES MOTEL was one of my favorites. I probably would have loved it even more had I never seen the original PSYCHO. HANNIBAL was also a lot of fun, and surprisingly very gory and violent for prime-time TV (My, how TV permissions have changed from the late 70s/early 80s!) INTERVIEW W/ THE VAMPIRE Rocks!
Just thinking about Tales from the Crypt, and one episode in particular, guest starring Wayne Newton, where two martial artists were forced to fight each other in a "Malaysian Rules Death Match" for the starring role in an upcoming Hollywood movie, and while the episode aired around the same time as the popularity of the original Ultimate Fighting Championship, a part of me felt like it was an original story. But then again, I also have to be reminded that boxing and pro wrestling were very popular in the 1950s (you know, early days of television, and such, very easy programming to broadcast). Maybe one of these days I will try to search the Web for the original source comic, and see where the TV and comic stories differ.
There was also supposed to be a second SyFy series in the Tremors franchise with Kevin Bacon coming back as Val McKee. I think a pilot was filmed, but because of either COVID, social issues, or other reasons, the show, just called Tremors, was prematurely canceled.
yeah. a pilot was shot and footage of it was screened at a panel, but it has never been released. from what i can gather, syfy wasn't that impressed with the pilot ep, and the cost of taking it to series was too great, so they didn't move forward with it.
Anyone remember the mtv show dead at 21. I think it came out early 2000s and only ran 1 season leaving off with a cliff hanger. Totally unrelated was also NBC's Siberia that lasted 1 season as well and was like a cross between big brother and survivor.
Would you count Kolchak the Night Stalker (ABC, 1974-75, 20 episodes spun off of the TV movies 1972's Night Stalker and 1973's Night Strangler), and Swamp Thing (USA Network: 1990-93, 3 seasons, and the single season DC Universe show from 2019)?
Scream Queen 👑 Okay 👍 I grew up on these 🤣 Fun! I've even got my favorites (obviously Tales From The Crypt) I actually did like Friday The 13th. I loved Tales From The Darkside (I've got those on Blu-ray 📀) And I Did like Freddy's Nightmares (in fact I made it into a movie) Now this isn't Freddy, but I took my favorite episode about the Sorority House 🏡 And made it into a movie called Sorority Party Massacre (which, now bare with me, long explanation) That's a spinoff of Stage Fright (which has Happy Birthday to You Anne Thompson, I just used the character 4 mine. STAGE FRIGHT is the murder spree she's going on while us stage kids are trying to put on a play (led by R Drama Teacher Jessica Lange) Anne's killed in STAGE FRIGHT but in SORORITY PARTY MASSACRE 🥳 We brought her back, only in This movie we find out why she's crazy in the 1st place (In a female Michael Myers fashion) She killed her mother's boyfriend when she was 9 and was sent to an Asylum when she was 16. Jessica Lange is The Headmistress 2 The Sorority House. And while STAGE FRIGHT (stems from Happy Birthday to Me) This is my version of a Remake set in The Sorority House Omega Kappa Pi (Which is The Sorority House from The Freddy's Nightmares Ep (Following Rebel without a Car, if you can watch it 😊It's a good Ep.) Well that's all 4 me 😊 Remember my movies R STAGE FRIGHT and SORORITY PARTY MASSACRE 🥳
I actually was watching the Blade tv show when it was airing and was extremely disappointed when it was canceled. It was a good mix of action and political and espionage intrigue (for those that don’t know the premise was that Blade got to a newly turned vampire and got her on the same serum that he was on and she was acting as his spy.) Worth checking out despite ending on a cliffhanger
Funny thing is, most of the '80s anthology horror shows, into the '90s, shared a LOT of the same crew. Many of them started on Tales From The Darkside, then moved on to Freddy's Nightmares or Monsters in 1988, and then went on to Tales From The Crypt in the early '90s.
I really enjoy this format of list. I seriously hope that you do an action version of this. My suggestions for entries for that list include; Alien Nation, RoboCop and F/X The Serieses (jk). Btw, I love the Tremors series. Other favorite shows from this list are Friday The 13th, Freddy's Nightmares, Hannibal and Tales From The Crypt. Also, where's Tales From The Darkside? (Lol. Just bustin' your chops.) El Rey has a streaming channel called El Rey Rebel.
I wasn't aware of the existence of a good majority of the 2010s/2020s series discussed here. Only Bates Motel, From Dusk Till Dawn, Teen Wolf, & Chucky. Speaking of Chucky, they told us that the second part of season 3 was supposed to start airing this month! Now, all of a sudden, it's "in the near future"! 🙄🙄🙄🙄. Also, El Rey Network was Da bomb!! I miss that channel just as much as i miss Chiller.
Actually, fun fact the friday the 13th series TV show had it a set of novels that took place well after the final episode and did actually crossover with Jason
I watched Scream 2015 the last show that Wes Craven was involved with and I love it.I was 4 years old when Freddy's Nightmares was playing on Fox 55 WFFT channel,not knowing who Freddy was as I was born the year of original A Nightmare On Elm Street all I remember is why is there a disfigured man on my screen I had no idea that it was makeup as I thought it was real disfigured man,my brothers told me every night that he would visit me in my sleep and I had nightmares.I did not become a fan of horror films until I was 10 years old yes every film in horror scared the crap,I used to sleep with lights on and was complete terrified what might be lurking in the darkness now I can watch horror without a problem and can now sleep with lights off,Tales From The Crypt also appeared on Fox 55 WFFT network the show was heavily trimmed why because network censor said you can't show that sort violence would run episode from each season,Fox 55 Married With Children from 1987 pushed the boundaries one religious TV/feminist male critic hated the show and try to get that show cancelled for pushing the envelop Married With Children lasted 11 seasons and at the time was the longest running sitcom on network until The Simpson debut in 1989 and is the longest running sitcom of all time.
I've heard of most of these except like four or five. My favorite word Friday the 13th the series and Ash versus evil dead I have that now on DVD all three seasons.
Great video. I loved the MTV Teen Wolf series. Though i admit, i never saw the original Michael J Fox movie till years later. Bates Motel is another great series.
they said in interviews after it got cancelled that the scream tv show from 3 on were originally gonna end up meta and do a "final nightmare" where the actors from the movies meet the actors from the show playing themselves
The makers of Resident Evil completely shot themselves in the foot with the TV show, they insisted the show was cannon to all the games but then cast Lance Reddick, probably one of the darkest black actors around at the time, as Albert Wesker, a Scandinavian looking, pale skinned, blonde haired, white guy. It's no wonder so many fans had a meltdown over it, most of what I saw, people loved Lance Reddick as an actor (As do I, he was awesome) but could not get past how they expected one of the main cast to just change colour for absolutely no reason. It was as hairbrained as it gets, if they'd have explained it somehow, maybe he'd taken a syrum or strain of the virus that altered his appearance somehow, that would at least of been something but nope, he was just a black dude now but it's still canon. I think someone needs to explain to the showrunners that human beings don't change colour for no reason lol In all honesty, even taking that away from the show, it was pretty pants anyway, it was far too melodramatic and just boring. I wasn't aware there was an IT TV show coming, my other half will be over the moon, she loves Pennywise.
that part doesn't bother me at all as it's not the character changing color. it's a different take on the character. and Reddick is so good that he could've played anyone he wanted and i was cool with it. the part that bothered was that the writing sucked.
I hate this as a person of colour myself I find it insulting when I see black people put into white peoples roles just to tick a diversity box, its like being given somebody else sloppy seconds why cant they just make new characters for us instead of lazily shoehorning us into a white persons skin its insulting.
I was surprised about some of these entries. Not sure if this would count, since it's a tv movie that spun off into a series, but Kolchack: Night Stalker could be debated to be on this list; even if the tv movie seems more like a pilot than anything.
There is the one connection between Friday the 13th The Series and the Friday the 13th Movies.. John D. LeMay! Who played Ryan in the series, and Steven Freeman in Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday
I’m shocked that Josh didn’t use this video as an excuse to use the handcuffs clip from Jason Goes to Hell; since John D. Lemay was in the Friday the 13th series.
I remember El Rey. Not for From Dusk til Dawn, the Series, because I never watched it. I remember it because once a week they would show old kung fu movies.
Missing the Hitchhiker TV Series , like Friday the 13th ...it was not really based of and was more an Anthology Series like Tales of the Crypt or The Hunger
You forgot War of The Worlds (there's like 2 tv shows, and a mini series), and you forgot to mention that there's a Event Horizon series stuck in development hell.
Creepshow is basically an unofficial reboot of Tales from The Crypt. Imo the first season has the best stories. I've always felt that the anthology format is perfect for horror (tension is often diluted when stories go on for too long). I vaguely remember the Friday the 13th show.
@@Rogers1000 I know that Creepshow and Tales From the Crypt are two different things. I meant that Creepshow is an obvious homage to Tales from the Crypt, to the extent that it feels like a kind of reboot. Creepshow is basically TFTC with a different title and host.
@@wimvanderstraeten6521 oh on those notes yes I totally agree, although don't quote me on this, the film version of the creeper/creep whatever he's called might predate looks wise the version of the TV crypt keeper which looks like him a lot, we got, haven't double checked that, but yes they are very similar and all homage to the OG EC horror stuff
Ash Vs. Evil Dead is f'ing fantastic. The writing, acting, special effects, etc. was really well done. I just finished watching it for the 3rd time a few days ago.
I'm pretty good at keeping track of what gets produced, what gets made, what gets released...and I genuinely do not think I had any knowledge of the Damien show.
I thought I was going to see the Stand and the Dark Tower Josh!? but I released that would be a mess to do, even with throwing in Castle Rock as well. Great Timeline Josh.
i was torn on the Stand, because i guess technically they call it a miniseries and not an actual show, but i probably should have put it in there anyway. Castle Rock i chose not to include since it's not really spun out of a particular film? i don't know. that one's hard to classify.
It's very messy, the Dark Towers is the only true movie I guess that leads to the Stand,. Castle Rock is a living breathing Easter egg and more. It takes from The Green Mile, The Dead Zone, Cujo and more films.@@movietimelines
Bates Motel was a damn good show. Also, i could be wrong but i think El Rey was mostly Spanish language. I never knew there was a Wolf Creek series. I'd definitely like to see that, i appreciate that each season is just Mick hunting a different group of people. Anyone know where it's streaming? Clarice was.... very, very not good, and i personally think the Day of the Dead series was atrocious. I enjoyed Let the Right One in.
Before Damien there was an unreleased pilot called the Omen that didn't get picked up. And one of the biggest disappointments was Carrie on USA Network. When I first saw it i LOVED it right up until the end. I realized they were trying to do to Carrie what they did to the Dead Zone and so the pilot movie joins the ranks of the HORRIBLE Pet Cemetery remake as another horrible Stephen King property. Great video.
Just curious, the narrator said that the final "two episodes" of BVTS was on UPN. Did you mean final two seasons? I remember watching BVTS weekly on UPN during the final season where Buffy was facing off against The First Evil. I think it could have been a mistake that the narrator said final "two episodes" were on UPN.
I love the constantine and the from dusk til dawn tv show and from duskbtil dawn is so cool as a tv show. Evil dead show i my favorite of all and the exorcist show is pretty fantastic as well and i like the mist show as well i watched it on netflix
Basically in the Buffy series, similar events as the movie happened at her old school, resulting in her getting kicked out and having to transfer to Sunnydale. So kind of sequel, kind of a reboot
You forgot to mention one of the main actors of friday 13th the series was also in jason goes to hell as a main character. But playing a different person.
We really need a Robocop: Tales of Delta City TV show. It would be an anthology show, hosted by Robocop. It would delve into the true crime stories in an unrecognizable Delta City. It's very important that the stories have little to no references to the movies, and 90% of the stories in the second season would be about ghosts, aliens and sexy vampires. It would then be abruptly canceled.
I found it very telling that you got through 25 years in about a third of the video, revealing the glut of new horror shows nobody asked for or watched.
I was surprised to see Friday the 13th but not see the War of the Worlds tv show (1988). I remember that show scaring the crap out of a far to young me, especially the second season.
Fair enough, I have always considered sci-fi more of a setting than a genre (I might be alone in that though). For example Alien is a horror movie in a sci-fi setting and Aliens is an action movie. I can't think of a movie or show I would consider strictly a sci-fi movie.
right, because it didn't air and i wanted to discuss series that actually ran. later on, i would like to do an episode about shows that almost were, and it would likely be on there instead.
I loved Friday the 13th when it was out and I was really shocked that they canceled that last season because the final episodes were really really good! Everyone at school was talking about it the next day And when the X files started part of me thought it was a sort of continuation of that show.🧐
Didn't the actor who played the male lead in Friday the 13th the series star in Jason goes to hell, and I remember watching the pilot of poltergeist the legacy as a kid when I rented it from blockbuster and I thought it was a fourth sequel to the original movie franchise it didn't help that the original VHS claimed it to be a sequel 😂 and I think Zelda Rubenstein did guest star in an episode so minor connection there but a stretch tbh
Well, the Friday the 13th series was a little connected because the actor John D LeMay played on the series and then also played in the movie. Jason goes to Hell.
I'm pretty glad Ash VS Evil Dead only got 3 seasons. Every season was fantastic, but by the third season they were starting to recycle ideas with having yet another evil Ash. I'm glad it ended on such a high note instead of falling apart over time with the well running dry.
It was such a great show. Sad it didn’t continue but ending on a cliffhanger is fitting considering the franchise.
No, it needed 1 more season
I remember the El Rey network because they used to air old school kung fu films plus the amazing Lucha Underground pro wrestling.
I really loved Wellington Paranormal. That was a fun What We do in the shadows spin off.
Funny thing. I met Sticky Fingers on the set of my friends movie. This was probably his first film and he basically played himself. It’s so funny watching him now in Blade series cause I can’t even see him play a serious character without bursting into laughter. lol.
The Chucky series is really good, & I’m pretty sure it’s why we are getting the Halloween & Crystal Lake shows, however, I doubt they will be anywhere as good
The one where Grandpa sneezes his nose off is my favorite! (Tales from theDarkside)
That sounds fun ha ha
Constantine was awesome lol. He even took on Pazuzu from the Exorcist in one episode.
There was one in the UK in 1980 called Hammer House of Horror which ran for one series but was a spin off of the Hammer Horror films but was also an anthology series as each episode was a different story but still worth a watch if you like Hammer Horror style of stories
Just treated myself to the Hammer horror tv series and box set of the films on dvds, am looking forward to to watching them.
WWDITS is amazing! The movie is great but the show is on another level. BAT!🦇
You have given me some shows to look for, plus facts I didn't know about some shows .
Thank you for the Weird Science reference! On the TELEPHONE??
("What's this boy talkin' bout 'On the telephone'?")
SHE DID WHAT!?
@@richarddiaz1241 In the family jewels!?
I remember a show from the 90s called She Wolf of London. I don't know if it had any connection to American Werewolf but always assumed it did. I was like five years old when this aired and all I remember about it was that there's a lady who was bitten by a werewolf, obviously, and she helped a detective solve supernatural crimes, I think.
I have that show. Great show but no connection to any movie or anything else.

Made with HARPA AI
It clearly was made with ai.
Gross.
@@greenkoopa What gave it away? The fact that it was labeled as being created with AI?
Feel free to spend an hour and a half to write something better.
Fun fact: may consider the Friday the 13th tv series to be one of the source ideas when SyFy created their Warehouse 13 series which in turn then allowed The Librarians to come back once more
I've got the complete series of Poltergeist The Legacy on DVD. Having grown up on Charmed, a Supernatural show set in San Francisco is right up my alley. I haven't watched the entire series but what I did watch, I enjoyed.
Bates Motel took a few seasons to really get the ball going, but the last two seaons were pretty stellar.
I loved that one!!!
This was a great post! I had forgotten about many of these shows (even the newer ones- LOL!) until you discussed them. Of the ones I did watch, BATES MOTEL was one of my favorites. I probably would have loved it even more had I never seen the original PSYCHO. HANNIBAL was also a lot of fun, and surprisingly very gory and violent for prime-time TV (My, how TV permissions have changed from the late 70s/early 80s!) INTERVIEW W/ THE VAMPIRE Rocks!
Just thinking about Tales from the Crypt, and one episode in particular, guest starring Wayne Newton, where two martial artists were forced to fight each other in a "Malaysian Rules Death Match" for the starring role in an upcoming Hollywood movie, and while the episode aired around the same time as the popularity of the original Ultimate Fighting Championship, a part of me felt like it was an original story. But then again, I also have to be reminded that boxing and pro wrestling were very popular in the 1950s (you know, early days of television, and such, very easy programming to broadcast). Maybe one of these days I will try to search the Web for the original source comic, and see where the TV and comic stories differ.
There was also supposed to be a second SyFy series in the Tremors franchise with Kevin Bacon coming back as Val McKee. I think a pilot was filmed, but because of either COVID, social issues, or other reasons, the show, just called Tremors, was prematurely canceled.
Pretty sure it was just a concept trailer, not a pilot
it was long before covid
@@jesusramirezromo2037 then kevin bacon lied, he said they did a whole season 1
yeah. a pilot was shot and footage of it was screened at a panel, but it has never been released. from what i can gather, syfy wasn't that impressed with the pilot ep, and the cost of taking it to series was too great, so they didn't move forward with it.
Anyone remember the mtv show dead at 21. I think it came out early 2000s and only ran 1 season leaving off with a cliff hanger. Totally unrelated was also NBC's Siberia that lasted 1 season as well and was like a cross between big brother and survivor.
Brooo I love you Last Dragon Shirt it's Dope just had to let you know the shirt is great 😂
"...ON THE TELEPHONE!"
Haha!
Would you count Kolchak the Night Stalker (ABC, 1974-75, 20 episodes spun off of the TV movies 1972's Night Stalker and 1973's Night Strangler), and Swamp Thing (USA Network: 1990-93, 3 seasons, and the single season DC Universe show from 2019)?
those certainly could have been on here, but since the series spun out of tv movies, i didn't think it totally fit.
Awesome video, thanks for doing all the "legwork".
Scream Queen 👑 Okay 👍 I grew up on these 🤣 Fun! I've even got my favorites (obviously Tales From The Crypt) I actually did like Friday The 13th. I loved Tales From The Darkside (I've got those on Blu-ray 📀) And I Did like Freddy's Nightmares (in fact I made it into a movie) Now this isn't Freddy, but I took my favorite episode about the Sorority House 🏡 And made it into a movie called Sorority Party Massacre (which, now bare with me, long explanation) That's a spinoff of Stage Fright (which has Happy Birthday to You Anne Thompson, I just used the character 4 mine. STAGE FRIGHT is the murder spree she's going on while us stage kids are trying to put on a play (led by R Drama Teacher Jessica Lange) Anne's killed in STAGE FRIGHT but in SORORITY PARTY MASSACRE 🥳 We brought her back, only in This movie we find out why she's crazy in the 1st place (In a female Michael Myers fashion) She killed her mother's boyfriend when she was 9 and was sent to an Asylum when she was 16. Jessica Lange is The Headmistress 2 The Sorority House. And while STAGE FRIGHT (stems from Happy Birthday to Me) This is my version of a Remake set in The Sorority House Omega Kappa Pi (Which is The Sorority House from The Freddy's Nightmares Ep (Following Rebel without a Car, if you can watch it 😊It's a good Ep.) Well that's all 4 me 😊 Remember my movies R STAGE FRIGHT and SORORITY PARTY MASSACRE 🥳
I actually was watching the Blade tv show when it was airing and was extremely disappointed when it was canceled. It was a good mix of action and political and espionage intrigue (for those that don’t know the premise was that Blade got to a newly turned vampire and got her on the same serum that he was on and she was acting as his spy.) Worth checking out despite ending on a cliffhanger
I was going to ask about some shows you seemed to have missed, but I'm thinking you may have a sci-fi tv episode in the works. Good stuff all around.
Funny thing is, most of the '80s anthology horror shows, into the '90s, shared a LOT of the same crew. Many of them started on Tales From The Darkside, then moved on to Freddy's Nightmares or Monsters in 1988, and then went on to Tales From The Crypt in the early '90s.
I really enjoy this format of list. I seriously hope that you do an action version of this. My suggestions for entries for that list include; Alien Nation, RoboCop and F/X The Serieses (jk).
Btw, I love the Tremors series. Other favorite shows from this list are Friday The 13th, Freddy's Nightmares, Hannibal and Tales From The Crypt. Also, where's Tales From The Darkside? (Lol. Just bustin' your chops.)
El Rey has a streaming channel called El Rey Rebel.
I wasn't aware of the existence of a good majority of the 2010s/2020s series discussed here. Only Bates Motel, From Dusk Till Dawn, Teen Wolf, & Chucky. Speaking of Chucky, they told us that the second part of season 3 was supposed to start airing this month! Now, all of a sudden, it's "in the near future"! 🙄🙄🙄🙄. Also, El Rey Network was Da bomb!! I miss that channel just as much as i miss Chiller.
Actually, fun fact the friday the 13th series TV show had it a set of novels that took place well after the final episode and did actually crossover with Jason
Would love it if you did the same kind of video for UK Horror based TV shows (I don't think we have many TV Shows based on horror movies).
I didnt even know there was a tremors tv show, must watch
If anyone is tired of unscripted television, try looking at non-US TV. Lots and lots of good scripted series out there, some of it horror.
Loved poltergeist the legacy as a kid.
nah theres like 800 episodes
@@Chaingun No, there's only 88 episodes. It only ran for 4 seasons.
@@ivaneames4354 that is still collosal
I watched Scream 2015 the last show that Wes Craven was involved with and I love it.I was 4 years old when Freddy's Nightmares was playing on Fox 55 WFFT channel,not knowing who Freddy was as I was born the year of original A Nightmare On Elm Street all I remember is why is there a disfigured man on my screen I had no idea that it was makeup as I thought it was real disfigured man,my brothers told me every night that he would visit me in my sleep and I had nightmares.I did not become a fan of horror films until I was 10 years old yes every film in horror scared the crap,I used to sleep with lights on and was complete terrified what might be lurking in the darkness now I can watch horror without a problem and can now sleep with lights off,Tales From The Crypt also appeared on Fox 55 WFFT network the show was heavily trimmed why because network censor said you can't show that sort violence would run episode from each season,Fox 55 Married With Children from 1987 pushed the boundaries one religious TV/feminist male critic hated the show and try to get that show cancelled for pushing the envelop Married With Children lasted 11 seasons and at the time was the longest running sitcom on network until The Simpson debut in 1989 and is the longest running sitcom of all time.
Tales From The Darkside was definitely the tv spinoff show from Creepshow the movie (1982).
I miss Freddy's Nightmares. Such a fun anthology series.
Thank you J, this was a gooood one! 💓
I've heard of most of these except like four or five. My favorite word Friday the 13th the series and Ash versus evil dead I have that now on DVD all three seasons.
Hammer House of Horror TV Show would have been a good addition
Great video. I loved the MTV Teen Wolf series. Though i admit, i never saw the original Michael J Fox movie till years later.
Bates Motel is another great series.
The Nashville Network became the National Network.
The National Network became Spike TV.
Spike TV became Paramount Network.
they said in interviews after it got cancelled that the scream tv show from 3 on were originally gonna end up meta and do a "final nightmare" where the actors from the movies meet the actors from the show playing themselves
This was a very fun list! I didn't know about half of these shows. Enjoyed the video as usual.
The makers of Resident Evil completely shot themselves in the foot with the TV show, they insisted the show was cannon to all the games but then cast Lance Reddick, probably one of the darkest black actors around at the time, as Albert Wesker, a Scandinavian looking, pale skinned, blonde haired, white guy.
It's no wonder so many fans had a meltdown over it, most of what I saw, people loved Lance Reddick as an actor (As do I, he was awesome) but could not get past how they expected one of the main cast to just change colour for absolutely no reason. It was as hairbrained as it gets, if they'd have explained it somehow, maybe he'd taken a syrum or strain of the virus that altered his appearance somehow, that would at least of been something but nope, he was just a black dude now but it's still canon. I think someone needs to explain to the showrunners that human beings don't change colour for no reason lol
In all honesty, even taking that away from the show, it was pretty pants anyway, it was far too melodramatic and just boring.
I wasn't aware there was an IT TV show coming, my other half will be over the moon, she loves Pennywise.
that part doesn't bother me at all as it's not the character changing color. it's a different take on the character. and Reddick is so good that he could've played anyone he wanted and i was cool with it.
the part that bothered was that the writing sucked.
@@movietimelines No argument there Josh lol
I hate this as a person of colour myself I find it insulting when I see black people put into white peoples roles just to tick a diversity box, its like being given somebody else sloppy seconds why cant they just make new characters for us instead of lazily shoehorning us into a white persons skin its insulting.
I was surprised about some of these entries.
Not sure if this would count, since it's a tv movie that spun off into a series, but Kolchack: Night Stalker could be debated to be on this list; even if the tv movie seems more like a pilot than anything.
I adore Ash Vs Evil Dead. Such a fantastic melding of the various tones of the original trilogy.
There is the one connection between Friday the 13th The Series and the Friday the 13th Movies..
John D. LeMay!
Who played Ryan in the series, and Steven Freeman in Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday
I’m shocked that Josh didn’t use this video as an excuse to use the handcuffs clip from Jason Goes to Hell; since John D. Lemay was in the Friday the 13th series.
well now i regret not doing it.
I'm surprised you left out the 2019 "Swamp Thing" 1 season. Well received but canceled. I enjoyed that one
I knew about El Rey because of this puppet horror movie film essay type show that I stumbled upon while channel surfing one night.
great video per usual 🤙🏻
That was a classy Weird Science reference, good sir!
I remember El Rey. Not for From Dusk til Dawn, the Series, because I never watched it. I remember it because once a week they would show old kung fu movies.
Missing the Hitchhiker TV Series , like Friday the 13th ...it was not really based of and was more an Anthology Series like Tales of the Crypt or The Hunger
Syndication, does anybody remember what that was?
You forgot War of The Worlds (there's like 2 tv shows, and a mini series), and you forgot to mention that there's a Event Horizon series stuck in development hell.
Creepshow is basically an unofficial reboot of Tales from The Crypt. Imo the first season has the best stories. I've always felt that the anthology format is perfect for horror (tension is often diluted when stories go on for too long). I vaguely remember the Friday the 13th show.
Creepshow is a TV show of creepshow the film's which are almost like tales From the crypt but are their own things
@@Rogers1000 I know that Creepshow and Tales From the Crypt are two different things. I meant that Creepshow is an obvious homage to Tales from the Crypt, to the extent that it feels like a kind of reboot. Creepshow is basically TFTC with a different title and host.
@@wimvanderstraeten6521 oh on those notes yes I totally agree, although don't quote me on this, the film version of the creeper/creep whatever he's called might predate looks wise the version of the TV crypt keeper which looks like him a lot, we got, haven't double checked that, but yes they are very similar and all homage to the OG EC horror stuff
The creepshow show is fantastic, I love it
I wish there was a Hellraiser tv series
Ash Vs. Evil Dead is f'ing fantastic. The writing, acting, special effects, etc. was really well done. I just finished watching it for the 3rd time a few days ago.
I'm pretty good at keeping track of what gets produced, what gets made, what gets released...and I genuinely do not think I had any knowledge of the Damien show.
Freaking weird that the lead of the Friday show ended up staring in Goes to Hell
I love love love Friday the 13th the series. It has such charm and a spooky vibe.
I would love to see an animated horror tv show video
Ever get a chance to watch the second season of The Exorcist series? This video came at the perfect time, I’ve been on a horror movie TV show kick
I thought I was going to see the Stand and the Dark Tower Josh!? but I released that would be a mess to do, even with throwing in Castle Rock as well. Great Timeline Josh.
i was torn on the Stand, because i guess technically they call it a miniseries and not an actual show, but i probably should have put it in there anyway. Castle Rock i chose not to include since it's not really spun out of a particular film? i don't know. that one's hard to classify.
It's very messy, the Dark Towers is the only true movie I guess that leads to the Stand,. Castle Rock is a living breathing Easter egg and more. It takes from The Green Mile, The Dead Zone, Cujo and more films.@@movietimelines
Maybe in the future Castle Rock as a TimeLine to other Stephen King Movies? Sounds fun. Thanks Josh for this video!@@movietimelines
37:23 there's another Hannibal show
there? thought theres just 2
Bates Motel was a damn good show. Also, i could be wrong but i think El Rey was mostly Spanish language. I never knew there was a Wolf Creek series. I'd definitely like to see that, i appreciate that each season is just Mick hunting a different group of people. Anyone know where it's streaming? Clarice was.... very, very not good, and i personally think the Day of the Dead series was atrocious. I enjoyed Let the Right One in.
The Blade series was GREAT
I know it was animated, but really wished you added The Toxic Crusaders.
Before Damien there was an unreleased pilot called the Omen that didn't get picked up. And one of the biggest disappointments was Carrie on USA Network. When I first saw it i LOVED it right up until the end. I realized they were trying to do to Carrie what they did to the Dead Zone and so the pilot movie joins the ranks of the HORRIBLE Pet Cemetery remake as another horrible Stephen King property. Great video.
How did you get IKWYDLS but miss Scream? & then Goosebumps 😂 🔥list tho.
for scream, check out 22:45. and goosebumps is the other way around. it was a movie that spun out of a show.
@@movietimelines Nice lil touch, you came prepared I fw it ⛈ pretty sneaky 2 lol.
Just curious, the narrator said that the final "two episodes" of BVTS was on UPN. Did you mean final two seasons? I remember watching BVTS weekly on UPN during the final season where Buffy was facing off against The First Evil. I think it could have been a mistake that the narrator said final "two episodes" were on UPN.
yeah, it was just a slip. it should be "seasons"
I think I was part of that Blade series rating lol
There's a Misery prequel show too, pretty good.
Really? lol What's it called? I'll have to find that one 'You're going to tell me it's simply called Misery now aren't you? lol
@@billyrattlesticks6949 Castle Rock season 2 on Hulu.
@@billyrattlesticks6949 I don't know if he means Castle Rock but it's an interesting watch.
2nd Season deals with Misery stuff.
Yeah that’s Castle Rock
I love the constantine and the from dusk til dawn tv show and from duskbtil dawn is so cool as a tv show. Evil dead show i my favorite of all and the exorcist show is pretty fantastic as well and i like the mist show as well i watched it on netflix
i remember buffy being a sequel to the movie but im probably wrong
i was gonna say soft reboot but thats probably wrong too
its probably not a stargate thing
Basically in the Buffy series, similar events as the movie happened at her old school, resulting in her getting kicked out and having to transfer to Sunnydale. So kind of sequel, kind of a reboot
Wasn't there a cancelled Tremors series, with Kevin Bacon set to return.
You forgot to mention one of the main actors of friday 13th the series was also in jason goes to hell as a main character. But playing a different person.
I actually liked THE MIST series. Was kinda bummed that it didn't get a second season.
Creepshow is such a phenomenal show! The Christmas Special is so good
Watched 90% of these I think the purge worked better as a series then a movie and the exorcist series was better then I expected
We really need a Robocop: Tales of Delta City TV show.
It would be an anthology show, hosted by Robocop. It would delve into the true crime stories in an unrecognizable Delta City. It's very important that the stories have little to no references to the movies, and 90% of the stories in the second season would be about ghosts, aliens and sexy vampires. It would then be abruptly canceled.
A video abbout animated spin off will come in the future?
I found it very telling that you got through 25 years in about a third of the video, revealing the glut of new horror shows nobody asked for or watched.
Tremors kicks ass
I was surprised to see Friday the 13th but not see the War of the Worlds tv show (1988). I remember that show scaring the crap out of a far to young me, especially the second season.
i loved that show, though i didn't include it as i didn't really peg it as a horror one, as opposed to sci-fi, but it's really not all that far off.
Fair enough, I have always considered sci-fi more of a setting than a genre (I might be alone in that though). For example Alien is a horror movie in a sci-fi setting and Aliens is an action movie. I can't think of a movie or show I would consider strictly a sci-fi movie.
You didn’t mention the 2nd Tremors TV show for which one episode was filmed but never aired.
right, because it didn't air and i wanted to discuss series that actually ran. later on, i would like to do an episode about shows that almost were, and it would likely be on there instead.
I really liked The Crow series.
Wow that’s a lot
MXC was the bomb
It was on Tubi. It still might be
right you are.
what about castle rock?
I loved Friday the 13th when it was out and I was really shocked that they canceled that last season because the final episodes were really really good! Everyone at school was talking about it the next day And when the X files started part of me thought it was a sort of continuation of that show.🧐
Matt Ryan definitely survived
could you please do a timeline of the X-Men 92 Cartoon
Didn't the actor who played the male lead in Friday the 13th the series star in Jason goes to hell, and I remember watching the pilot of poltergeist the legacy as a kid when I rented it from blockbuster and I thought it was a fourth sequel to the original movie franchise it didn't help that the original VHS claimed it to be a sequel 😂 and I think Zelda Rubenstein did guest star in an episode so minor connection there but a stretch tbh
Well, the Friday the 13th series was a little connected because the actor John D LeMay played on the series and then also played in the movie. Jason goes to Hell.
31:19 23 episodes 4 seasons!! I thought it was more
Castle Rock could kind of fit because it was based in the Kingverse
