Zombies are the monsters of the 21st century, and America’s major contribution to horror. What set off zombie fever? All roads lead to George Romero, who made zombies a metaphor for social ills.
Disc 2 of 4
SEASON 1, EPISODE 2 Slashers, Part 1
Slasher films killed in the ’80s, but their violence, perceived misogyny, and endless sequels almost ended the genre. Jamie Lee Curtis, Bruce Campbell and Rob Zombie on how supernatural killers like Chucky and Freddy saved them from extinction.
SEASON 1, EPISODE 3 Slashers, Part 2
Slashers got sophisticated in the ’90s, evolving from Freddy Kreuger to Candyman to the terrifying Hannibal Lecter. The 2000s brought “torture porn” – a response to post-9/11 panic.
Disc 3 of 4
SEASON 1, EPISODE 4 The Demons Inside
The fear that demons will enter our bodies and make us do terrible things has inspired some of the most frightening films ever made. Jordan Peele, Linda Blair and Diablo Cody discuss masterpieces such as Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist.
SEASON 1, EPISODE 5 Killer Creatures
Monsters hold a special place in the history of horror. Stephen King, Tippi Hedren and Joe Dante weigh in on the killer predators in nature, the nightmare creatures of the fantastic, and the monsters inside us, waiting to escape.
Disc 4 of 4
SEASON 1, EPISODE 6 Vampires
Modern vampires come in many guises, but they all address our fascination with sex and death. From the ghastly Count Orlok to the glam vampires of True Blood, John Landis, Josh Hartnett, Mick Garris and others take a look at why thirsty fiends are endlessly appealing.
SEASON 1, EPISODE 7 Ghost Stories
Ghost movies have been with us since the dawn of cinema. Some ghosts are benevolent, some ghosts are malicious, but they all represent the mystery of what happens to us after we die. Stephen King, Haley Joel Osment and others break down the appeal of spooky spirits.

A good overview on the genre. Glad I didn’t see this on TV, if I had I would have had to put up with all those commercials for SEVEN whole episodes, which MVR has professionally edited out. ALL OF THEM. Sound and video are both outstanding like everything MVR produces.
