Agreed!Who could forget Frank Black and his daughter Jordan. Each season changed within the show, and agree with MsMod- the first was the best. But weird was good too, just a tad too supernatural and darker.

I was completely enthralled with this show from the first episode..lol. Was not a happy camper when they cancelled it. I really liked Frank Black's character and the story lines were really good. The Halloween episode, "The Curse of Frank Black" from season 2 is probably my favorite episode. I always watch that episode around Halloween every year. I should have known you'd know about this show, Ms. Mod!I think I liked it better when it first came on. It got a little weird for me toward the end of the series, sort of the same way The X-Files did, which might have been the Chris Carter influence for both.

There was a show that ran from 1996-1999 called "Millennium", starring Lance Henriksen. I'm not sure it would qualify as straight up horror, but it had several elements of horror embedded in the whole undertow of the show. It was created and produced by Chris Carter, the same guy who did X-Files but this show was much darker. Before Justified came along, this was my favorite television series of all time and it's still very good. I have the three season DVD set and every once in a while I'll watch a couple of episodes and they're still very good.
Dana Jean Have you ever watched this show? I think you'd love it.

They're all connected. The show spans three seasons and there's some very cool plot lines.Was that a show where the episodes were connected with the same characters and the story line keeps going. Or was it more like a Twilight Zone and Tales from the Crypt in each episode did not have the same characters
I absolutely don't remember this! Now I must see an episode.They're all connected. The show spans three seasons and there's some very cool plot lines.

Last weekend I watched 'Long Distance Call' again.What about Dark Shadows and Twin Peaks? From the list given I would have to say The Twilight Zone. Some of those episodes were unforgettable!
Ayuh! I wonder who the writer was? Beaumont? Bloch? Matheson?Last weekend I watched 'Long Distance Call' again.
I was surprised how dark but sweet it is. The kid getting hit by a car, on life support, and the grandmother calling on the toy phone in the kid's empty room. Chilling but poignant.
He’s one of my favorite actors. A friend of mine met him at some comic con or sci-fi con recently and said he was one of the nicest people he’s ever met.I was a faithful watcher of Millenium but it sure did get dark towards the end. I am a big fan of Lance Henrickson.
Yeah, Matheson is a personal favorite. Wikipedia says the writer of this episode is Maxwell Sanford.Ayuh! I wonder who the writer was? Beaumont? Bloch? Matheson?
Sounds like a non-de-plume to me!!Yeah, Matheson is a personal favorite. Wikipedia says the writer of this episode is Maxwell Sanford.
My favorite is one not on the list' Friday The 13th. It's badly named because it hasn't a thing to do with the film of the same name. Instead, it focuses on cursed/haunted items from an antique shop. A nearly endless supply of stories. It was well-written and the lead actors sold it. An under-appreciated gem of the horror genre on TV.
