Description:
In the 1950s and 1960s, it was outer space and alien monsters: in the 1970s and 1980s, it was bloodsucking vampires and serial killers. Popular shows of the 1990s like "The X-Files" and "Profiler" employ these same devices, but with modern cinematic devices and in elegant and moody settings.
