Behind the Monsters

Behind the Monsters

No horror icon came out of a filmmaker’s first draft fully formed. There were early drafts, wrong turns, experimentation. Once made flesh (or latex), there’s presentation, impact, audience response and legacy. Each of these steps that nudge a horror creation toward the annals of legend will be explored in Shudder’s BEHIND THE MONSTERS. Each episode examines a horror icon who has broken free of the confines of the film from which it was born and become the stuff of legend.

This series is practically the adult version of the movies that made us!

Please do more of these! I'd love a deep dive into the other monsters! I grew up with Chucky and Freddy, But Ghostface was one that haunted my high school years, I'd love to see that!
