| Watch The ‘Damien’ “Beast” Official Trailer!
Horror on TV is en vogue. Sure, for years cable and network television have been flooded with vampires, werewolves, and zombies, but in the past few years some our favorite movies have gone from the big screen to the small screen. MTV padded its summer schedule with a series based on Wes Craven’s Scream. The folks behind American Horror Story and Glee created a 80s horror homage with Scream Queens in the fall and Starz brought back the cult classic Evil Dead with Bruce Campbell for a 10-episode run last winter in Ash vs. Evil Dead. Rumors of a Friday the 13th series as well as Exorcist one are circulating. A&E, the network that brought Alfred Hitchcock’s classic Psycho to the world of episodic television with Bates Motel in 2013, is now making a show based on the scariest movie I ever saw, Richard Donner’s The Omen, called simply Damien. Check out the trailer below.

| Olympus Athens’ Top 10 Favorite Television Episodes Of 2015
I watch a lot of television – A LOT. And in 2015, there were a bunch of shows I watched, yet didn’t review (The Goldbergs, The Vampire Diaries, General Hospital, House of Cards to name a few), and there were many, many shows that were in my brain queue, of which I hope to get to eventually (I’m talking about you, Six Feet Under!). So this is a mix for me. I picked 10 of the plethora of holy s*** TV moments I’ve experienced in 2015, whether sad, shocking, awesome, funny, lovely – ones where when the moment was over, I turned and said, “I can’t believe that… did you see that?” Or, “That was the _________ moment on television ever.” Spoilers if you haven’t watched much TV this year… seriously. So whether you agree or disagree (and I might agree with your disagreement), check out the list below of my Top 10 Favorite Television Episodes of 2015.
