Eli Roth's History of Horror (Seasons 1–3)

Watch Eli Roth's History of Horror online on iFILM — a 2018 AMC documentary series on the horror genre from its earliest roots. Director of Hostel, Eli Roth hosts, and the guest list is serious: Stephen King, Quentin Tarantino, Edgar Wright, Jack Black, Rob Zombie, John Landis, Bill Hader.

Each episode maps a subgenre or a cultural moment — slashers, zombies, supernatural horror, killer kids. Director Kurt Sayenga builds around film clips, archival footage, and extended interviews that go well past surface-level praise. The guests argue about what works, trace how each wave of horror reflected something happening in the wider culture, and occasionally talk about how these films shaped their own careers. Stephen King and Tarantino in the same conversation about fear is exactly what it sounds like.
