Channel Zero Season 1: Candle Cove rated TV-14 for violence and disturbing imagery

Channel Zero Season 1:  Candle Cove opens with a disturbed child psychologist Mike Painter who returns to his childhood home to recover from a nervous breakdown.  While there, he starts to recall and be affected by aspects of his childhood including mysterious child disappearances/deaths including the loss of his twin brother Eddie.  When he starts to observe events that seem to be repeating the pattern from his childhood, he struggles to figure out if he is simply crazy or if something is really going on. 

I remember seeing teaser trailers and being initially unsure because the teasers were so mysterious.  When I did watch the show I was pleasantly surprised to discover just how good this show was.  The cast was all great.  The locations that they shot at were beautiful and at times wonderfully eerie.  This show has atmospheric horror that gradually morphs into striking visual horror. The show played out well and I think had a good ending. 

It seems that each of these seasons have overall themes.  I would say that the themes of this one are Redemption/Healing.

Channel Zero Season 2: No End House rated TV-14 for violence and disturbing images

In Season 2 of the anthology series Channel Zero, a group of teenagers dares to go to a traveling "haunted house" attraction called No End House.  Rumors abound about this mysterious haunted house that shows up without warning in various small towns throughout the country.  It has six rooms inside and supposedly each room is more horrible than the last and the rooms are specifically catered to terrorize whoever enters the room.  It's something along the lines of if someone is scared of ants someone will see/encounter ants only not quite as simple and straightforward as that.  It caters more to internal fears and insecurities that the ants might represent rather than the actual insects.  After the group flees from the No End House they discover to their horror that something has followed them out of the house.  Margot sacrifices herself to save the others and the house disappears without a trace with Margot inside.  Some time later, Jules embarks on a d...
