So are you thinking to binge on a TV show which will get you going for the rest of this weekend? Well, trying to find a proper TV show is kind of difficult task. So how about we find something better for you so that you can be all ready and set for this amazing weekend which lies ahead of you?
Horror TV show is a type of commitment which cannot be made by everyone. For example, you might start watching one show and then switch onto the next one just because the first show was terrifyingly gore. Has this happened to you, ever? Well, don’t be ashamed because you are not the only one. According to recent studies and reports, it has been found that people who have started watching one show have always shifted to the other due to loss of interest at the peak time or waiting too long to be amazed.
It is often recommended to never go for a show which has a huge number of seasons attached to it. What good is it? You will start watching season 1 with a great deal of enthusiasm and commitment and then just lose your mojo at the end of the last episode. What makes a show great is the ideal requirement of both a good script and better actors who can portray the characters and bring them to life. If you are watching a TV show where the actors are just down with their own actions and they are just outright boring on the screen then will you continue watching that show? No, you wouldn’t.
Directors need to make cliff-hangers at the end of seasons so that the whole audience gets hooked and waits for the next season to be out. No one wants a show where the endings are predictable and you know whatever is happening is just what meant to happen. So here are some top 10 horror TV show which you can binge watch this weekend without the feeling of being extremely bored by it.

10. Penny Dreadful
The name of this show is itself a dreadful thing, get the pun eh (poor pun, excuse me)? This show has a gothic experience to it which you will absolutely love for sure. This traces back to the old Elizabethan times when there were sensational contents and a lot of pulpy matter to keep a focus on. This show is concentrated over Penny and her adventures with monsters and witches as you will see. There are a lot of mature contents so I am giving you this warning to watch it alone, maybe?
So what are you waiting for? This is an amazing list with the top 10 horror TV shows which can keep you up all night (or maybe not if you are a strong heart). Let me advise you that watching a TV show is a gradual commitment so if you choosing to go for a one then choose something which has a small number of seasons to it or just ends with one season. Not everything is like The Office which can run anytime and every time and no one will ever get bored of it, seriously!
So have a nice weekend with a list that cannot wait to thrill you enough!
