Aryanna is a homebody who enjoys spending her time watching her favorite movies and TV shows or listening to music and podcasts. However, she understands the benefits of giving her eyes and mind a break, so the rest of her time is spent journaling, spending time with loved ones and playing with her dog.

The 1980s is a decade widely associated with superb horror films and TV shows, many of which deserve to be revisited now and then. Many horror TV shows during the '80s fell into the anthology format, which allowed for the creation of more hair-raising stories to be told within each season. Horror anthology series also work well with the bingeing model. Audiences don't have to invest a great part of their attention and time to drawn out stories.

Differing from the format of most anthology series, Freddy's Nightmares includes two stories in every episode, with the second story involving a supporting character from the first part. Because there's a new group of characters in every episode, the methods of killing by Freddy and other antagonists vary and keep audiences invested in what their next moves are going to be.

Mystery and crime aspects are abundant in The Hitchhiker, which pulls audiences into every episode's unique storyline. Additionally, The Hitchhiker originally aired on HBO before moving to USA Network. Therefore, the anthology series contains a decent amount of unfiltered sexual images and gore in earlier seasons, but it was eventually toned down as the series continued.

Eric has his mission set strongly in his mind, but he never becomes blinded by his pursuit and does his best to keep innocent lives out of his mess. Werewolf does include typical supernatural tropes in its narrative, including Eric's weakness as a werewolf being silver bullets, but unique lore was added in the series as well.

4 Hammer House Of Horror 1 Season, 13 Episodes Despite Hammer House of Horror airing for a shorter amount of time compared to other horror TV shows from the decade, the anthology series still managed to pack a decent amount of content in its minimal episodes. Each episode had a runtime of nearly an hour and focused on different horror elements, including serial killers, werewolves, and devil-worshiping.
