There's no denying that American Horror Story makes great TV. It's camp, pulpy fun, often with an over-the-top villain or two to remind viewers that, yes, this is meant to be horror. But, after 15 years, what was once the apex of anthologies has started to lose its edge, and although American Horror Story remains a worthwhile binge-watch, other shows have proven that genuine horror anthology series still have a place on television. The Terror, for example,is an exceptional exploration of isolation masked as a period drama, while Goosebumps reminds '90s kids why they were scared of kitchen sponges. Shows like these give American Horror Story worthy competition. But Syfy's Channel Zerodid it first, and it did it while achieving something American Horror Story has struggled to do.
