67 days until Halloween. On August 21st, 1967, Serj Tankian was born. Serj has a song called Lie Lie Lie, which is the theme song to one of my favorite (yet short-lived) horror TV shows, Fear Itself.

Fear Itself was a great show. It was a continuation of the Masters of Horrors which was on Showtime, so the violence and such had be toned down a bit, but the shows were still great. Each episode has a different director and feel, each like their own short movie. Perfect for people like me who don’t have the time or attention spam to watch horror movies on a more regular basis.

I wish this format would catch on more. All the great horror series (Tales from the Crypt, Fear Itself, Twilight Zone) eventually die out, and it seems like we’re waiting forever for a new show to come along. At least, one that’s easily accessible on mainstream TV. Luckily, we have a lot of great internet TV these days, but a lot of times people don’t know where to start looking.

You can watch some episodes free from NBC here.
