Eli Roth's History of Horror - Season 3

Fans of horror films, like "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3," "Psycho II," "The First Purge," "Bride of Chucky," "Scream 2" and "Gremlins 2: The New Batch," say sometimes sequels are as good or even better than the originals.

Horror has warned about pandemics for years, in films that mirror reality ("Outbreak," "Contagion," "12 Monkeys"), surreal plagues ("Shivers," "Rabid"), zombie outbreaks ("REC," "Pontypool") and pathogens from space ("The Andromeda Strain").

In films like "The Dead Zone," "Scanners," "Doctor Sleep" and "Beetlejuice," horror superstars Stephen King, David Cronenberg, Mike Flanagan, Brian DePalma, Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson and Tim Burton bring psychic powers to the screen in thrilling ways.

The apocalyptic visions of "World War Z," "Train to Busan," "Zombieland," "War of the Worlds," "I Am Legend," "The Omega Man," "10 Cloverfield Lane," "Night of the Comet" and "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers."
