John Anderson Wall Street Journal 10/28/2021
The wonkiness of the people contributing to this clip-happy, fanboy-friendly series is as entertaining as what they reveal, even if their fellow devotees probably know it all already. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 10/25/2021
While the eclectic mix of talking heads and cultural commentators don't all convince, what's refreshing about Monsters is its willingness to air and embrace the various film franchises' obvious mis-steps. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Episodes

Episode 1 Aired Oct 27, 2021 Michael Myers A cheap film shot in 21 days changed the landscape of horror, made several careers, and gave one actress an iconic role that she's tweaking 42 years later. Details Episode 2 Aired Nov 3, 2021 Candyman The genre's first black slasher showed up in 1992, rich with subtext about racial tensions in American history; in 2021, he's coming back - and is perhaps the most relevant horror icon imaginable. Details Episode 3 Aired Nov 10, 2021 Chucky What started as a nasty spin on 80s consumerism, flourished over three decades into an unlikely progressive horror property that refuses to get back on the shelf. Details Episode 4 Aired Nov 17, 2021 Freddy Krueger Perhaps the most recognizable horror icon, Freddy Krueger's one-liners and merchandise has proven to be enjoyed by horror and non-horror fans alike. Details Episode 5 Aired Nov 24, 2021 Jason Voorhees A look at the accidental creation of a machete-wielding avatar of conservative 1980s morality - one that, absent a new entry, a fiercely loyal fan base has taken to resurrecting on their own. Details Episode 6 Aired Dec 1, 2021 Pinhead Emerging from a low budget independent film, this character who was simply called "Lead Cenobite" would become the undeniable symbol of pleasure and pain and the icon of the "Hellraiser" franchise.
