10. Salem vampires
Foreign series about horror began to be filmed a long time ago, and "Vampires" is one of the pioneers of the genre. A multi-part story about vampires from the town of Salems-Lot was released on television in 1979. Despite the fact that the main villain resembles the Soviet Koshchei, and the special effects, to put it mildly, are primitive, this series is watched with pleasure by many fans of horror films.
9. Are you afraid of the dark?
In the story, a group of teenagers tease bikes around the campfire weekly. And each new story is worse than the previous one. The fascinating series has seven seasons that aired from 1991 to 1996. Despite the fact that the series was released on the "cartoon" channel Nickelodeon, many stories make even adults squint in fear.
