Buffy 4th spookiest TV show

4. "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" (1997-2003)
It's got a tongue-in-cheek title and a premise that reads like a comic book, but Joss Whedon's inspired mix of horror movie revisionism, pop culture vamping and human tragedy is funny, clever, thrilling and -- surprisingly -- emotionally resonant. The snappy fantasy about a high-school cutie (Sarah Michelle Gellar) born to dispatch vampires, demons and other hell spawn, uses the fantastic to explore the hard choices and journeys made by humans. It makes for both an inspired metaphor for mortal life and a whip-smart mythology for youth in the modern media age. It depicted the collision of hormonal turmoil, supernatural soap opera, apocalyptic adventure and tongue-in-cheek humor, and the most human exploration of death, grief, sacrifice and self-actualization. Spin-off series "Angel" went a different way -- a shadowy, noir-esque detective show with a vampire private eye saving the human world from inhuman evil -- but it works with the same social currency.
