TV THIS WEEK: The Terror; Fear the Walking Dead; Killjoys and more

By Trent Moore
Fear the Walking Dead

It's a relatively light week in terms of new genre shows on the small screen, but there are still a few highlights to check out — including a few good scares to help ring in the fact that summer is almost over.

AMC has a new episode of The Terror this week, along with fresh installments of Fear the Walking Dead and Preacher. The CW has most of its summer slate new, led by the buzzy anthology horror series Two Sentence Horror Stories. SYFY has a new episode of the space actioner Killjoys, along with the original miniseries of Stephen King's It ... you know, in case you'd like a refresher on the OG adaptation before the modern day sequel opens up.

Digging a bit deeper, there's plenty of reality-style genre fare on the dial, including a new Ghost Hunters, The UnXplained, and Unearthed. Check out our full rundown below and let us know what you'll be watching this week.
