The new television industry has been trending for years, and considering that horror is more fashionable than ever, there are still many genre and/or fantasy productions for which streaming platforms are committed. This year we have seen the return of some old favorites, such as the new batches of episodes of “Stranger Things” or “Love, Death & Robots” on Netflixor “What We Do in the Shadows” on HBO Max.
To them are added names such as those of Mike Flanagan or Ryan Murphy. The first continues to bet on melancholy ghosts, stylized jumpscares and the perfect dose of drama and horror. The second, despite his name being involved in several projects, not only premiered the 10th season of ‘American Horror Story’, titled ‘NYC’, but also featured in the small audio-visual screen thanks to the second season of the spin -off of this, ‘American Horror Stories’ and got serious with ‘DAHMER – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’ also released on Netflix and almost simultaneously with true crime about said killer. Then they go top ten horror series of 2022:

9 “The Midnight Club”
Mike Flanagan’s penultimate idyll with Netflix (in the absence of the premiere of ‘The Fall of House of Usher’ and before signing a new contract with Prime) evoked ‘The Midnight Club’, the 90s horror series on which a group of young people used to meet to tell horror stories by the light of a bonfire.
Based on Christopher Pike’s novel of the same namehere the space to develop the stories was none other than the Brightcliffe Home, a place of palliative care for young people with terminal illnesses, where Ilonka arrives (Imman Benson) to join those nightly gatherings sneaking out of fear.

7 ‘dam’
Already it was time for Ryan Murphy to get serious and set aside the mamarrachismo that audiences have become accustomed to over the past decade.
Evan Peters plays Jeffrey Dahmer, the cannibal (and necrophilic) sex offender and murderer who killed seventeen young people between 1978 and 1991. And he does it by immersing himself in the daily life of a psychopath, making us accomplices in the horror that revolves around his apartment and the victims he killed.

6 “Chucky”
Don Mancini knows how to make the most of the saga of Chucky, El muñeco diabólico, and unlike many other propositions, he has done so while remaining true to himself, to the story he presented to us in 1988 and to the universe he created with each of his films.
In this second season, and after the terrible ending of the previous one, Chucky returns (always with the voice of Brad Dourif) to transform the lives of the young protagonists (ended up in a rigorous juvenile facility) into an unimaginable nightmare. . . Of course, it’s time to think about it Jennifer Tilly is so gorgeous that humanity doesn’t deserve it.

4 “Love, Death and Robots”
Despite the fact that its premise is more sci-fi friendly, ‘Love, Death & Robots’ is back to having some episodes that could very well be part of a horror anthology. And the bar for this third volume was very high.
stands out ‘Bad Travelling’, directed by David Fincher and that takes us to a ship besieged by a giant crustacean that eats humans. OR “Swarm” by Tim Miller, on a mission to a remote planet that will discover a race of hive-minded parasites. OR “In the Vaulted Halls Buried”about a group of marines who are attacked by spider creatures and discover a horror of cosmic shades with echoes of “Final Horizon”. But, above all (and despite being the least terrifying), Alberto Mielgo’s incredible ‘Jíbaro’ shinesabout an alternate reality in which gold-digging conquerors encounter a lethal mermaid.

1 “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities”
Seventeen years after ‘Masters of Horror’, the much needed relief has finally arrived. With Guillermo del Toro as master of ceremonies, emulating the same Alfred Hitchcock from “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” or Rod Serling from “The Twilight Zone”.
Names like Jennifer Kent (‘Babadook’), Panos Cosmatos (‘Mandy’), Catherine Hardwicke (‘Twilight’), Vincenzo Natali (‘Cube’), Guillermo Navarro (‘Hannibal’), David Prior (‘The Empty Man’ ), Keith Thomas (‘The Vigil’) and Ana Lily Amirpour (‘A girl goes home alone at night’), are the ones who have directed their most personal proposals, ranging from the most classic horror to the most bizarre, passing for Lovecraftian adaptations and series B with monsters. A delight for horror lovers of all genres.

terror wins
It was quite an achievement to see how Guillermo del Toro could have been given the green light for such a risky and personal project such as “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities” (hopefully this helps Netflix give him carte blanche for his long-awaited adaptation of Lovecraft’s “At the Mountains of Madness”). Or have fun with the return of ‘Chucky’, one of the best series of the year and what better favor they do to the legacy it bears on its shoulders. Undoubtedly, another successful example was the (unexpected) fervor provoked by Jenna Ortega, dazzling the younger generation (and TikTok) as the new Wednesday Addams.
