Cheryl Eddy io9.com If Horror's Greatest gets another round, there's definitely lots more turf to cover, and it'd be great to see Shudder go more obscure and get even more specific. Aug 24, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Episode 1 Aired Aug 27, 2024 Tropes & Cliches Creepy houses, murderous rednecks, final girls: horror films often rely on these tried-and-true storytelling devices, and audiences have come to expect them; here are the most common genre tropes and clichés and how modern filmmakers subvert them. Details Episode 2 Aired Sep 3, 2024 Giant Monsters Nearly a century after King Kong first ran amok, images of giant marauding monsters continue to enthrall; Godzilla is hotter than ever, and filmmakers like Bong Joon-ho, J.J. Abrams, and Jordan Peele have all added their unique spins to the genre. Details Episode 3 Aired Sep 10, 2024 Japanese Horror Veering between slow dread and shocking violence, the wild world of Japanese horror has something for everyone; from Ugetsu to Ring, Onibaba to Audition, Tetsuo to Battle Royale: the greatest J-Horror films are essential viewing for horror fans. Details Episode 4 Airs Tue Sep 17 Horror Comedies Horror comedies make people laugh at things they might recoil from in real life; they come in many flavors, including splatstick (Evil Dead II), high camp (M3GAN), subversive family entertainment (Gremlins) and classics (Shaun of the Dead). Details Episode 5 Airs Tue Sep 24 Stephen King Adaptations Stephen King's stories attract the world's greatest filmmakers, and have been the basis of over a dozen horror classics - and at least as many failures; many elements need to come together to successfully adapt King on the page to King on the screen.
