Editing Slasher film (section)

===Television works===
In the early 2010s, the success of [[FX (TV channel)|FX]]'s ''[[American Horror Story]]'' and [[AMC (TV channel)|AMC]]'s ''[[The Walking Dead (TV series)|The Walking Dead]]'' encouraged network television to develop horror franchises as series. Several networks structured or based their developing TV series on slasher films. [[A&E Networks|A&E]] produced ''[[Bates Motel (TV series)|Bates Motel]]'' as a contemporary prequel to [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s 1960s classic ''[[Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]'', which depicted the lives of [[Norman Bates]] ([[Freddie Highmore]]) and his deranged mother [[Norma Bates (Psycho)|Norma]] ([[Vera Farmiga]]). The series remains A&E's longest-running scripted drama program, and particular praise was given to Highmore and Farmiga, with the latter receiving a Primetime Emmy nomination.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Goldberg |first=Lesley |date=2015-06-15 |title='Bates Motel' Renewed for Two More Seasons at A&E; 'Returned' Canceled |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/bates-motel-renewed-returned-canceled-801653/ |access-date=2024-03-08 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Neumyer |first=Scott |date=2014-03-03 |title=Vera Farmiga Talks Bates Motel, Family & What She'd Be Doing If She Weren't Acting |url=https://parade.com/267807/scottneumyer/vera-farmiga-talks-bates-motel-family-what-shed-be-doing-if-she-werent-acting/ |access-date=2024-03-08 |website=Parade |language=en}}</ref>

[[MTV]] tried to ride off the success of ''Bates Motel'' by producing ''[[Scream (TV series)|Scream: The TV Series]]''. Being a completely different story from the film series and not featuring the iconic [[Ghostface (identity)|Ghostface]] villain, ''Scream: The TV Series'' ran for two seasons between 2015 and 2016. After the conclusion of its second season, a two-hour Halloween special aired in October 2016.
