Honestly, in my opinion, no show like The Exorcist is going to be quite as terrifying. There’s a reason that story has held up through numerous sequels and reboots over the years! Still, some of these are pretty darn scary! Bates Motel completely freaks me out!

My mother in law loves the show Lucifer. She often talks about it and is always eager to watch new episodes!
Nope! I hate scary, horror, thriller type shows. My mom was a huge fan. When I was a kid we would have to watch them all weekend when Elvira was the host.
OMG! I’m the worst with these scary shows, esp when it comes to zombies and Exorcist stuff… my goodness! I can’t watch scary shows until I live with a man again because I’m a chicken! lol
I hate watching any of these types of shows! I’m sure this is a great list though!
I don’t like watching too many creep tv shows. I do like watching the crime shows.
I love creepy and scary movies, but I haven’t seen the Exorcist TV show! The only one on the list that I have seen is Bates Motel!
I am such a scaredy cat so I never watch this kind of shows. My husband loves them though so he watches horror films himself. 🙂
Ooh. I don’t watch those kind of shows anymore since highschool. LOL! Especially now that we have kids. The ‘Lucifer’ title scares the hell out of me already! I do watch horror films sometimes but with friends so I won’t focus too much on the scary scenes. LOL!
I never watch scary shows, I just have big of an imagination. But my husband loves them. I’ll have to pass this list on to him!
Oh no, I do not like watching horror stories. When I was a kid, I did watch but no longer at the present. My imagination runs wild when watching scary movies. I sleep alone and I cannot sleep well having those creepy creatures inside my mind.
I love watching creepy shows! Totally adding these to the list.
Eeeek I am such a scary cat… I could never watch these! I wont be able to sleep for days. lol.
South of Hell reminds me of an old Slayer song (South of Heaven)- wonder if it’s as good.
The South of Hell sounds good to watch. I love watching this kind of shows. I watched the exorcist few times.
