Many of TV's worst horror series prove that taking a feature film and lengthening or re-imagining it into an episodic structure just doesn't work. The bottom of the barrel for horror TV also includes series that would have survived a single-season run had they been developed today, and backed by bigger-budget streaming giants.
Despite its big-name cast that included James Marsden, Whoopi Goldberg, and Alexander Skarsgård, this is yet another horror adaptation that provided a disservice to its source material. The time-jumping pacing and lack of real character development left audiences turning to other series during their binge-watching.9 'Van Helsing' Created by Neil LaBute A series with so much potential ended up becoming a disappointment over its five-season run.
7 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Created by Sara Goodman One of the most quintessential slasher movies of all time got a streaming debut from Prime but failed to live up to its cinematic predecessor. I Know What You Did Last Summer follows a group of teens as they are stalked by an all-knowing yet mysterious killer one year after a fatal graduation night accident. In an attempt to bring the formulaic premise to a technology-driven new generation, the series missed the mark.
The single 10-episode season succeeded in the special effects department but floundered in every other aspect. Viewers lost interest with each passing episode that lacked solid horror storytelling and compelling performances. The Mist is just another example of if a horror movie isn't broke don't fix it with a TV series.
