If you’re reading this, there’s a 99.9999% chance you’re a horror lover, right? Then you’re not going to want to miss Horror’s Greatest, a new Shudder Original series from Marwar Junction Productions, the same producers who bought us The 101 Scariest Horror Movie Moments of All Time.
In Horror’s Greatest, premiering on August 27 on Shudder and AMC+:
Horror’s Greatest is a deep dive into everything we love about horror — from fresh looks at classics to unearthing scores of hidden gems, this series has something for every fright film enthusiast. A gallery of ghoulish pros, including actors, directors, writers, composers, and special effects artists, draw on their unique knowledge to answer the big questions: What are the must-see films in horror’s many sub-genres? What’s the appeal of horror tropes, and how do today’s filmmakers subvert our expectations? What shape does horror take in countries outside of the United States? The answers encompass the breath of the nightmares we watch for our entertainment.
The series includes interviews with a whole host of horror heroes, including David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil), Joe Hill (Locke & Key, NOS4A2), Tom Holland (Fright Night, Child’s Play), Jenn Wexler (The Sacrifice Game, The Ranger), Dewayne Perkins (The Blackening), Jonah Ray Rodrigues (Destroy All Neighbors), Gigi Saul Guerrero (Satanic Hispanics, El Gigante), Alex Winter (Destroy All Neighbors), Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Kong: Skull Island), Tananarive Due (Horror Noire), The Boulet Brothers (The Boulet Brothers Dragula), Rebekah McKendry (Glorious) and many more.
Writer, director and FANGORIA Chainsaw Award winner Kurt Sayenga (Eli Roth’s History of Horror) serves as show runner and executive producer.
Shudder’s new official trailer (seen below) gives us a tease of some of the films we can expect to be discussed, which include *deep breath*, Ari Aster’s Midsommar, Masaki Kobayashi’s Kwaidan, Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice, Karyn Kusama’s Jennifer’s Body, Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead, Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, Jordan Peele’s Nope and Takashi Miike’s Audition to name but a very select few.
