    IMDb Rating: 7.9 From haunted houses to murder houses, Roth invites fellow filmmakers Scott Derrickson and Rob Zombie, among others, to discuss what makes the setting of a house creepily effective in a horror film. The commentary on this episode illuminates how homes can go from a place of safety and sanctuary to a character with its own sadistic m...

    IMDb Rating: 8.0 Believe it or not, possession films are a more recent subgenre of horror, as films were heavily censored by the Motion Picture Production Code from the 1930s to the 1960s. However, with the introduction of William Friedkin's cult horror classic, The Exorcist, and Linda Blair's head-turning performance as Regan MacNeil, possession m...

    IMDb Rating: 8.0 While 'Slashers Part 1' focuses on the early days and origins of the slasher genre, the second part focuses on the films that revitalized slashers. Wes Craven's Scream and Jonathan Demme's Silence of the Lambsare two prime examples of slashers that not only carved up the box office but also subverted the genre as well as audiences ...

    IMDb Rating: 8.0 Some horror films are in a class of their own and are too socially conscious for their own good. Contributions from director Jordan Peele in his second film, Us, frighten viewers with the suggestion of the blind eye that society turns to systemic repression. Often times, these nightmares are extremely humanized, as depicted in Mary...

    IMDb Rating: 8.0 Roth begins this episode with Andrew Fleming's The Craft, which gave unfettered power to another underrated and underused subgenre in horror, the witch. Roth provides insight that equates Fleming's film to the harsh, brutal reality of teenage female adolescence and the fragility associated with the dynamics of these friendships. Wh...

    IMDb Rating: 8.0 One of the most graphic episodes by far, 'Body Horror' introduces viewers to the films of David Cronenberg and even Eli Roth's own contribution to body horror, as seen in his film Cabin Fever. Roth and guests decipher how body horror not only offers grotesque imagery but also tackles metaphors of addiction, the delicacy of the huma...

    IMDb Rating: 8.0 Frequently regarded as a classic subgenre, films that are considered "monster movies" are at once broad and noncomprehensive. They can appear to be a film about an extraterrestrial lifeform, like Ridley Scott's Alien, or underneath the hard exterior, it can be a film about the creation of life and humanity's need to regulate and co...

    IMDb Rating: 8.1 Roth's seventh episode of the first season provides intriguing perspectives and excellent examples of ghost stories in horror films. More importantly, special guests like Leigh Whannell and Lin Shayediscuss exactly what question those films pose to audiences: are ghosts real, and if they are, what does their presence mean for our e...

    IMDb Rating: 8.1 From conversations spanning from George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead to The Walking Dead, horror makeup legends Tom Savini and Greg Nicotero join Roth and recall how their technical achievements have influenced special effects in horror films, specifically those regarding the living dead. Zombies may look terrifying externally, but...

    IMDb Rating: 8.2 An archived interview from legendary horror director Tobe Hooper and Master's of Horror creator Mick Garris helps viewers understand why films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre were a reflection of political turmoil. Film scholar Jason Middletonprovides a brilliant perspective, explaining how this film is a rejection of the automati...
