Top Horror TV Series From the Last 25 Years as Ranked by IMDb Users9 of 20
12. "Bates Motel" – Rating 8.1
A&E's modern-day prequel to Alfred Hitchcock's classic film Psycho is thriving. Freddie Highmore and Vera Farmiga anchor the psychological thriller as Norman Bates and his mother Norma. "Bates Motel" was renewed for a fifth season, making it A&E's longest-running original scripted drama series.
The IMDb user reviews are filled with fans giving variations on the same critique — that they loved the Hitchcock film and weren't sure what to expect but found themselves pleasantly surprised. However, this is a show with a smaller overall fan base than some of the big hitters on here.
