Things take a slightly different direction with our list with this entry, as "The Fades" definitely veers into more sci-fi territory than straight-up horror, but there are plenty of spooky scares packed into its one and only season to include it here. The series came out in 2011, a time when young adult sci-fi novels were taking over the world, with series like "The Hunger Games," "The Maze Runner," and "Divergent" at the height of their popularity. This BBC Three series utilize the post-apocalyptic setting of these stories, but it has enough similar elements to be counted amongst the rest.
If anything, you could call this a pre-apocalyptic YA story since the main character, Paul Roberts (Iain De Caestecker), is fighting a battle to prevent the end of the world as we know it. He is what this fictional world calls an Angelic, meaning he is able to see the malevolent spirits of the dead, which are referred to as the Fades. He gets recruited by other Angelics to stop the Fades from taking over the world, and there's a bunch of creepy imagery to keep you on the edge of your seat. Also, this is an early role for Daniel Kaluuya, which makes it worth checking out for that alone.
