AMC’s seven-episode docu-series about, well, the history of horror hits just about all the right notes. Divided into six categories over seven episodes, the show

Overlord (2018)
“Overlord” feels like a missed opportunity from beginning to end. Its story of Nazi zombie experiments is fairly interesting, but the actual horrors of the
Jaws: The Revenge (1987)
If the “Jaws” franchise demonstrates the risk of diminishing returns with each successive sequel, then “Jaws: The Revenge” is its low-budget nadir. Nothing works here,
The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs: “C.H.U.D.” (2019)
Shudder’s new iteration of the cult luminary’s specific brand of motor-mouthed horror appreciation displays everything that has made the Joe Bob Briggs experience such a

Scream 4 (2011)
“Scream 4” is nothing short of a minor miracle. Released 11 years after the underwhelming “Scream 3,” it manages to reunite the surviving cast while
Scream 3 (2000)
Even before the opening 10-minute segment is over, it’s obvious that “Scream 3” is the type of movie that the first two lampooned. The screenplay
Incident in a Ghostland (2018)
