The evenings are getting darker, the summer heatwaves are a distant memory – Halloween is almost here.

October is the spookiest time of the year, and it’s perfect for getting wrapped in a blanket on the sofa, turning off the lights and binge watching a terrifying horror TV series.

There’s nothing quite like a good scare, is there? That feeling of creeping dread, the tingle down your spine, the sweat in your palms – ok maybe not that last one – can’t be beat.

Halloween is less than four weeks away – just 27 ghoulish nights to go, which sounds like plenty of time to delve into some dark shows to get you in the… spirit.

Here are some truly horrifying TV shows that – if you’re a fan of things that go bump in the night – you need to check out.
