Scary new trailer for The Strain

If you don't already own a mammoth HD TV and a warm blanket for your couch then invest right away. The rest of the year is filled with so much great TV that you're quite likely to become an agoraphobe.

One of our most anticipated shows is The Strain, from Guillermo Del Toro, who's hoping to regain some respect after Pacific Rim stank up your local cinema last summer.

It's based on a set of novels he co-wrote with Chuck Hogan and tells he story of a viral outbreak that turns people into vampires. It stars House of Cards breakout star Corey Stoll the head of the Center for Disease Control and while we've only had teases so far, a longer trailer is now here and we're helplessly excited to see more.

The show hits FX in the states in July and the UK shortly after.
