This is a talk at a museum of television and media in Midtown Manhattan, held just before Halloween. Curator Jason Lynch revisits some of television's all-time scariest episodes, from shows like The Twilight Zone, The X-Files, Twin Peaks, Stephen King's It, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, American Horror Story, and The Haunting of Hill House, plus this year's horror-comedy hit Widow's Bay. Admission is free for Paley Members and included in General Admission.
