Funny yet bloody tales of revenge. Supernatural and emotional explorations of family trauma. Cerebral vignettes about technology-derived misadventures. The possibilities are endless when it comes to anthology horror series, popularized by Rod Serling and Alfred Hitchcock in the 1960s with their respective works. And in the era of streaming wars, the sky's the limit when it comes to choosing an anthology horror series to binge next.
Good thing the zodiac is here to provide assistance. Whether it includes standalone episodes or more sustained stories that span an entire season, there's a series to suit any sign of the zodiac, from the action-oriented Aries to the emotional, creative Pisces.
Aries: Amazing Stories (1985 - 1987)
Based on the sci-fi magazine of the same name, this adventurous, scary, and humorous series aired for two seasons on NBC. Created by Steven Spielberg, Amazing Stories showcases episodes about the supernatural, unexplained, and bizarre without taking itself too seriously.
Outgoing and courageous Aries prefers horror with a dose of positivity, making this the series for them.
Taurus: Inside No 9 (2014 - )
Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton are responsible for this British black comedy series that weaves together gothic psychological tales of terror without veering too far into otherworldly territory. Grounded and earthy Taurus will love Inside No. 9's focus on the human psyche and all of its darkest recesses.
While Taurus are reliable and loyal at their best, they can be stubborn and jealous at their worst — acting out in ways demonstrated by some of the characters in this series.
Gemini: Tales From The Darkside (1984 - 1988)
George Romero's eclectic anthology series lasted four seasons. Ranging from straightforward horror to dark sci-fi to black comedy, each episode of Tales from the Darkside is guaranteed to keep the easily bored, intellectual Gemini interested.
Geminis, who love mind puzzles and communications, will enjoy seeking out higher meanings, social commentary, and subtle themes found in this entertaining show.
Cancer: The Haunting (2018 - )
Cancers are emotional and reserved types whose lives revolve around their closest family and friends. There's no doubt director Mike Flanagan's intimate, character-driven series The Haunting will suck this sign right in.
The first season of this Netflix series, The Haunting of Hill House, tells the story of a family's traumatic experience living in a haunted mansion. The same actors will return in October for a new tale: The Haunting of Bly Manor.
Leo: American Horror Story (2011 - )
Much like dramatic Leos, American Horror Story often goes over the top. This long-running FX series explores the taboos, ghosts, and history that haunts the American experience — from racism to homophobia to divisive political elections.
While Leos are generous and warm-hearted, they also love the kind of theatrics on full display in AHS.
Virgo: Room 104 (2017 - )
Careful and practical Virgos favor television that engages their intellectual capacities, and Room 104 is an accessible but creative HBO anthology series created by the Duplass brothers. Each episode unfolds in the same American hotel room, where characters face strange circumstances — both real and imagined.
Virgos live to analyze, and there's plenty for them to process in Room 104's four seasons.
Libra: The Terror (2018 - )
Libras want everything in life to be balanced, and this sign responds to beauty and symmetry in art. AMC's The Terror, which contains two disconnected seasons, is a well-crafted, visually stunning series that will leave Libras both creatively fulfilled and terrified.
The first season adds a supernatural twist to Captain Sir John Franklin's lost expedition to the Arctic in the 1840s, while the second does the same to the story of a group of Japanese Americans forced into internment camps during World War II.
Scorpio: Masters Of Horror (2005 - 2007)
This Showtime series involves the world's most renowned horror directors producing one-hour movies that range in style, tone, and approach. They are all terrifying and intense, making Masters of Horror the ideal series for Scorpios.
Passionate Scorpios prefer to live at full throttle, and they will be all in for these unrelenting films directed by the likes of Ti West, David Cronenberg, and Takashi Miike.
Sagittarius: Tales From The Crypt (1989 - 1996)
When people think about Sagittarius, what comes to mind is this sign's top-notch sense of humor. Few horror anthology series are as humorous as Tales from the Crypt, hosted by a snarky animatronic Cryptkeeper who connects the show's scary stories inspired by the classic comic book of the same name.
Quirky and independent Sagittarius will also dig the HBO series' lack of censorship or pretense.
Capricorn: The Twilight Zone (1959 - 1964)
From the mind of Rod Serling, this classic sci-fi and horror hybrid show is the perfect horror anthology series for Capricorn. This disciplined and pragmatic sign will respond to the first version of The Twilight Zone, as each episode usually brings its creepy tale to a close with a moral or lesson.
Capricorns like to dwell on the mysteries of the world explored in The Twilight Zone, but only to make tangible sense of it all.
Aquarius: Black Mirror (2011 - )
Aquarius is the resident innovator of the zodiac, always striving to make the world a more equitable and advanced place. Black Mirror, which explores the horrific consequences of humanity's reliance on technology, will keep this sign glued to the screen.
Each episode presents a dystopian cautionary tale whose advice Aquarius will be compelled to heed.
Pisces: Channel Zero (2016 - 2018)
Channel Zero is an anthology series that aired on Syfy for four seasons. Each optically insane and well-acted season dives into the dreams and delusions of its characters as it develops stories related to bizarre haunted houses, imaginary childhood friends come to life, and stairways that magically appear in parks.
The imaginative and emotional Pisces will savor each episode, which takes horror into creative and arthouse territory.
