Episode guide

Michael Myers
A cheap film shot in 21 days changed the landscape of horror, made several careers, and gave one actress an iconic role that she's tweaking 42 years later.
s01e02 Candyman 2021-11-02 16:00
Candyman
The genre's first black slasher showed up in 1992, rich with subtext about racial tensions in American history. In 2021, he's coming back - and is perhaps the most relevant horror icon imaginable.
s01e03 Chucky 2021-11-09 17:00
Chucky
What started as a nasty spin on 80s consumerism flourished over three decades into an unlikely progressive horror property that refuses to get back on the shelf.
s01e04 Freddy Krueger 2021-11-16 17:00
Freddy Krueger
In 1984 Wes Craven saw the slasher boom filling screens and took it to the next level by leaving reality behind. Other slashers carved through teen bodies; Freddy invaded their minds.
s01e05 Jason Voorhees 2021-11-23 17:00
Jason Voorhees
The producers just wanted to rip off HALLOWEEN. What happened instead was the accidental creation of a machete-wielding avatar of conservative 1980s morality.
s01e06 Pinhead 2021-11-30 17:00
Pinhead
Emerging from a low budget independent film, this character who was simply called "Lead Cenobite" would become the undeniable symbol of pleasure and pain and the icon of the Hellraiser franchise.
