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.

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...

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...
