Links to my livetweet threads:
Season 1
Slashers Pt 1
#HistoryofHorror episode two, the first of their two slasher episodes, is going to be a mess.

Know how I know?
From the episode introduction, there's this rejection of slasher films as generally misogynistic. Because 85% of the audience are women. Supposedly.
Slashers Pt 2
Starting #HistoryofHorror Ep3 Slashers Part 2!

This is going to be interesting and stressful but I said I was gonna tweet through the ep so I will…
(Also, I wish there was a companion book for this docu-series. @AMC_TV please get on that asap!)
Demons Inside
Starting #HistoryofHorror ep 4 "The Demons Inside"
— stitch (@stitchmediamix) November 20, 2018
I love demons in media (and I'll link to my Urban Fantasy 101 post on demons later) and this is the first history of horror ep I don't think I'll be super annoyed at.
Season 2
Season 3
Sequels That Don’t Suck
Every year since 2019, I do a livetweet of @AMC_TV's #HistoryofHorror hosted by Eli Roth for birthmonth. We're on year/season three

Please remember to either mute that hashtag OR mute me until like 11PM EST when I'll be done tweeting for the episode!
Infections
My livetweet of #HistoryOfHorror starts now!
— stitch (@stitchmediamix) October 9, 2021
Season 3, episode 2 is all about "infections" and how horror predicted (a form of) the current hell we're in with this pandemic and people's really wild responses to… the very real threat of infection and death??
Psychics
This #HistoryOfHorror episode is all about psychics/psychic horror and I'm honestly excited!! It's a bunch of people talking about how they believe in psychics and the movies they were in made them believe even harder lol

Apocalyptic Horror
#HistoryOfHorror opens with Eli Roth pointing out that, "I think everybody's fascinated with society falling apart".

Holiday Horror
"We love the holidays but we dread the holidays" Eli Roth says with the backdrop of Krampus going along with the narrative#HistoryOfHorror

Mad Scientists
There are really SO many "mad scientist" movies and this reminds me of how when Meems was really small and before the Florida edu system destroyed her will to learn, she wanted to… be one? Cute, but concerning. #HistoryOfHorror
