Vote up the best horror TV shows in which the main characters and target audience are teens and young people.

From shows about serial killers stalking cheerleaders to plots about young witches harnessing their power, the best teen horror series will leave you screaming... for more episodes. Some terrifying teen shows feature werewolves howling at the moon while other scary series are haunting in completely original ways. A few great teen scream shows are even based on classic horror films.

A murder mystery set at a sorority is at the center of Ryan Murphy's Scream Queens which finds horror legend Jamie Lee Curtis leading an all-star cast. Of course, Murphy's now-iconic series American Horror Story – which features several teen-heavy seasons – is also on this list of the scariest teen horror series. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a great option for younger teens and tweens. In Twin Peaks, the entire town is stricken with fear after the popular teenager, Laura Palmer, is found murdered in the pilot episode. Riverdale, another spooky series for teens, pays homage to Twin Peaks with its title sequence.

Don't let your favorite teen horror show end up at the bottom of this list – what a nightmare that would be! Vote up the best teen scream series and please add great shows we may have missed.
