Latest aired season
Season 1
Dracula And His Disciples
There's more to Dracula than just Bela Lugosi, as the cinema's various incarnations of the carnal count are examined.
Blood-Drinking Beings
Dracula wasn't the only blood-sucker immortalized on film. Here is some of his "competition."
Frankenstein And His Friends
Karloff's career was defined by his sympathetic portrayal of "the monster," but others took on this challenging role over the years. This fascinating installment tells the story behind Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's timeless tale.
Baron Frankenstein
Hammer Films "reanimated" the Frankenstein franchise in the 1950s with its terrifying teaming of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee as doctor and "patient." Take a look at how this classic story changed in the '50s, '60s - and beyond.
Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde
Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of good and evil has been a film favorite since early silent days. Various portrayals of the dual doctor are examined.
Werewolves
Of course there's Lon Chaney Jr. as The Wolf Man, but other films have featured werewolves in surprising ways over the years.
Bela Lugosi
Lugosi was much more than Count Dracula, as you'll see in this fascinating salute to this complex Hungarian actor.
Boris Karloff
Perhaps horror's greatest star, Karloff, of course, played the Frankenstein monster. But there's so much more to tell. Here's an affectionate look at this cultured Englishman.
The Evil Unseeable
Nothing like a good ghost story - except a century's worth of films filled with more ghost stories!
Phantoms
Lon Chaney Sr. was the original Phantom of the Opera, but there have been other notable portrayals - and other notable phantoms!
Witches
Witches have been a favorite of fairy tales - and fright films - for centuries. Here's a wicked look at a coven's worth of portrayals.
Demons
More than just the Devil (although The Prince of Darkness has certainly figured into quite a few motion pictures), demons have been a mainstay of horror films since the silent days.
Mutants
Abominable snowmen, mole people, creatures from black lagoons. All these half-human/half-beast "hybrids" are here - and more!
Freaks
Horror films have been peppered with people who didn't need makeup and were actually born disfigured, most notably in the film Freaks. Take a look at those who managed to turn their misfortune into something of a career.
Scream Queens
King Kong's Fay Wray is probably the most famous scream queen of the horror genre, but you'll be surprised to see who else made the list!
Girl Ghouls
Men didn't have a lock on the horror movie. There were plenty of frightful females to go around, as you'll see in this salute to demonic dames.
Maniacs
Ax-murderers, chainsaw-wielding madmen, serial killers, cannibals - they're all here - and more!
Gory Gimmicks
An affectionate salute to the great showmen of yesteryear who figured out all sorts of gory gimmicks to keep audiences glued to their seats - and away from their TV sets!
Sorcerers
A holdover from ancient tales, sorcerers have long fascinated movie audiences with their powerful use of black magic to achieve their evil goals.
Aliens
Creatures from "out there" have captured the imagination of everyone from H.G. Wells to Steven Spielberg. Here's a look at some out-of-this-world intergalactic beings.
