Tricks and Treats: TV’s Scariest Episodes
Thursday, October 30, 2025
4:00 pm
The Paley Museum, 25 West 52 Street, NYC
Curator: Jason Lynch
Spooky season is the time for horror films galore, but many of October’s most terrifying frights can be found not on the big screen, but the small one. Just in time for Halloween, curator Jason Lynch will revisit some of TV’s all-time scariest episodes, including classic shows like The Twilight Zone, The X-Files, Twin Peaks, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Tales from the Crypt, and Stranger Things. The conversation will also look at Hollywood’s mixed efforts in creating series around movie horror icons like Norman Bates, Freddy Krueger, Damien Thorn, and Hannibal Lecter. It will be a real scream!
