As Dread Central’s resident awards show junkie, I’m happy to report that while horror didn’t make a super strong showing in this year’s Emmy Awards nominations, it did make a respectable one. Read on for the full list of genre nominees, including a few that, while not pure horror, are definitely DC fan favorites.

For the full rundown of all the talented nominees, visit the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, and be sure to watch the live broadcast of the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards on FOX on Sunday, September 18th at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT.
