Season 2 episodes (6)

1 Houses of Hell
10/10/20
Home is where the heart is, unless you live in a house of hell. Whether they're filled with specters or psychos, every house of hell pokes at our illusions of comfort and safety.
2 Monsters
10/17/20
The history of monster movies is also the history of the evolution of special effects technology. But, whatever their size or shape and whatever they represent, for many horror fans monsters are the best part of the genre.
3 Body Horror
10/24/20
Sometimes disgusting, but always powerful, body horror films make us question our prejudices against physical difference, our attitudes about sex and gender, our fear of disease and contamination, and how much our appearance determines who we are.
4 Witches
10/31/20
The witch is a towering figure in the history of horror. The archetypical evil witch is everything mainstream religion tells us a woman should not be - and that unapologetic, very female power frightens men and fascinates women.
5 Chilling Children
11/7/20
Parents are supposed to love their children, no matter how awful their kids may be. The films highlighted in this episode may not solve the mystery of where evil comes from, but they have a terrifically terrifying time raising the question.
6 Nine Nightmares
11/14/20
Nine Nightmares is a deep dive into nine uncategorizable films that push the boundaries of horror. Great films that entertain us and provoke us. Films that put society under a microscope, making us question not just what we fear, but why we fear it.

Loved this series Eli Roth created with AMC. I consider it to be one of the best definitive horror film documentaries out there...as far as covering multiple films. Would LOVE to have the series on Blu-Ray! (Hint, hint...)
