Behind the Monsters

Examines iconic horror characters that transcended their origins in films, becoming enduring legends.

No horror icon emerged fully formed from a filmmaker's first draft. Early drafts often led to wrong turns, experimentation. Once fleshed out (or made in latex),there's presentation, impact, audience response, and legacy. Shudder's BEHIND THE MONSTERS will explore each step that nudges a horror creation toward legend. Each episode examines a horror icon who has broken free from the confines of its film origins and become legendary.
