Collider ranks television series that combine police or detective investigations with supernatural, science-fiction or horror elements, describing them as “spooky cop” shows. The article argues that these programmes refresh the familiar procedural format by making unexplained events central to their cases.

– ‘Twin Peaks’ is placed tenth for its surreal FBI murder investigation, led by Agent Dale Cooper.
– ‘Sleepy Hollow’ ranks ninth, pairing Ichabod Crane with Lieutenant Abbie Mills against supernatural threats.
– ‘Warehouse 13’ is eighth, following agents who investigate and secure mysterious artefacts.
– The article notes ‘Kolchak: The Night Stalker’ as an important influence, though its protagonist was a reporter rather than police.
