I ha...From Canada originally from the Philippines:<br /><br />I have long been a fan of horror TV anthologies stretching way back as 1977. And have recently since the late 90s have become aware of UK horror TV anthologies.<br /><br />Death Rattles intrigues me since I did not know about this until yesterday. WOW.<br /><br />Now I have probably watched most UK horror TV anthology shows and the following are my personal faves.<br /><br />The Supernatural(1977): Gothic stuff, great acting and sets on a budget. Should have gotten a second season. The Dorabella, frankenstein and werewolf eps are standouts for me. I particularly liked the Jackson guy from the Professionals in this show(another fave show of mine).<br /><br />Dead of Night(1972): one of my holy grails to my collection(the other is Quinn Martin's Tales of the unexpected). Exorcism ep. is simply genius. Hunting for the lost eps.<br /><br />M.R. James Christmas ghost story dramatizations: The BBC annual ones. WOW, I rewaatch this many times. Big fan of M.R. james, the Beeb gives them justice. Did not like the John hurt one though from 2010. As for the non M.R. james stories, liked crooked house and especially Schlaken the painter, the ending blew me away.<br /><br />Urban Gothic: What modern British horror TV should be. Low budget done effectively with great storylines, acting etc. Loved the vamp ep. <br /><br />Hammer House of Horror: Loved this much. Great acting sets and storylines. More significantly than the second season.<br /><br />Thriller: I like both the UK and USA versions. However the UK one is better acted with good storylines. <br /><br />Journey to the Unknown: Great stuff, the acting provides this show with a lot of the horror.<br /><br />Notable mention: Ghosts, Chiller, Dramarama, Beasts, Tales of Mystery and imagination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
