Sequels That Don't Suck
S3 E1
Fans of horror films, like "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3," "Psycho II," "The First Purge," "Bride of Chucky," "Scream 2" and "Gremlins 2: The New Batch," say sometimes sequels are as good or even better than the originals.
Infections
S3 E2
Horror has warned about pandemics for years, in films that mirror reality, such as "Outbreak," "Contagion," "12 Monkeys," surreal plagues "Shivers," "Rabid," zombie outbreaks "REC," "Pontypool" and pathogens from space "The Andromeda Strain."
Apocalyptic Horror
S3 E4
The apocalyptic visions of "World War Z," "Train to Busan," "Zombieland," "War of the Worlds," "I Am Legend," "The Omega Man," "10 Cloverfield Lane," "Night of the Comet" and "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers."
Holiday Horror

Holiday mayhem, including "Black Christmas," "Krampus," "Silent Night Deadly Night," "Terror Train," "My Bloody Valentine," "Mother's Day," "April Fool's Day," "Happy Death Day" and the 2018 "Halloween," featuring returning guest Jamie Lee Curtis.

Houses of Hell
S2 E1
Home is where the heart is, unless one lives in a house of hell; whether they're filled with specters or psychos, every house of hell pokes at illusions of comfort and safety.
Monsters
S2 E2
The history of monster movies is also the history of the evolution of special effects technology; whatever their size or shape and whatever they represent, for many horror fans monsters are the best part of the genre.
Body Horror
S2 E3
Sometimes disgusting, body horror films make audience members question their prejudices against physical difference, their attitudes about sex and gender, their fear of disease and contamination, and how much appearance determines destiny.
Chilling Children
S2 E5
Parents are supposed to love their children, no matter how awful their kids may be; the films highlighted in this episode may not solve the mystery of where evil comes from, but they have a terrifically terrifying time raising the question.
Nine Nightmares
S2 E6
A deep dive into nine films that defy categorization and push the boundaries of horror; great films that entertain and provoke audiences; films that put society under a microscope, making people question not just what they fear, but why they fear it.
