But what are the horror experts, super fans, and filmmakers talking about this season of Horror’s Greatest? Check out the full episode list and air dates below!

Episode 1 – “Animal Attacks” – Premieres Tuesday, December 31 on SHUDDER and AMC+ 

A great animal attack movie pushes all of our human-against-nature buttons. From demented sharks to unhinged chimps, this episode sorts out the leaders of the cinematic pack. We also shame the worst horror pets (and give treats to the best).

Episode 2 – “Killer Dates” – Premieres Tuesday, January 7 on SHUDDER and AMC+ 

Dates in horror are worst-case scenarios that go way past awkward silences. Your lovemate is either a serial killer, a tormented psychic, or comes from a family that wants to hunt you for sport. Looking for love inevitably leads to blood and carnage.

Episode 3 – “Hidden Gems” – Premieres Tuesday, January 14 on SHUDDER and AMC+ 

What special film would you recommend to the ghoul who has “seen everything?” In this episode, genre mavens select 13 movies that have been forgotten, overlooked, unfairly maligned, or are hard to find— all bloody gems hidden beneath the floorboards.

Episode 4 – “Film Scores” – Premieres Tuesday, January 21 on SHUDDER and AMC+ 

From King Kong’s epic orchestra to the unnerving electronics of Under the Skin to the suspenseful muted strings in Psycho, composers have used every style of music to frighten audiences. Horror scores blaze trails, bringing new instruments and radical musical forms into popular consciousness.

Episode 5 – “Space Horror” – Premieres Tuesday, January 28 on SHUDDER and AMC+ 

Alien. 2001. Forbidden Planet. Many of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made are also horror films. The vastness of space, the claustrophobia of space travel, and the inconceivable horrors that might lurk in the void make for spine-tingling filmmaking.

The series comes from Marwar Junction Productions (Perfect Wife), the producers of The 101 Scariest Horror Movie Moments of All Time. Horror’s Greatest was produced by Marwar Junction Productions and showrunner/executive producer Kurt Sayenga. Joseph Freed and Allison Berkley are executive producers for Marwar Junction Productions.

The first season of Horror’s Greatest is available now on Shudder and AMC+.
