Since the dawn of storytelling, horror has been othered and compared to more refined genres. Luckily, in the last 20 years, the spooky stories have finally earned a little love at the Emmys, even if it’s in fits and spurts. Sometimes, it will become the darling of the season, which leads to “The Last of Us” receiving a wave of hype and scores of nominations. Other times, showrunner extraordinaires like Ryan Murphy will hit a nerve with projects like “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” or certain buzzy, diva-rich seasons of “American Horror Story.”
