  • S01E02 Vampires: The Rise of Dracula

    • October 6, 2015

    The popularity of Dracula cemented the vampire into fiction and popular culture, and was supplemented by the invention of cinema. Between Dracula and its not-so-subtle clone Nosferatu, vampires became a horror movie staple.

  • S01E03 The Undead

    • October 6, 2015

    The idea of the dead coming back to life haunted stories for centuries. Differing takes on the myth led to different monsters - resurrection through science created Frankenstein's monster, Egyptian mythology and mummified pharaohs led to reanimated mummies, and external forces of evil or radiation brought forth zombies.

  • S01E04 The Spirit World

    • October 6, 2015

    The idea of a parallel world of the spirits has persisted since the beginning of civilization. Ghosts returning to earth, or remaining as echoes of the past, are explored in this episode.

  • S01E05 Demons

    • October 6, 2015

    Humans have always sought justification for the presence of evil in the world. Demons, in their various incarnations through religious descriptions, folklore, and literature, are often cited as the source.

  • S01E06 Witchcraft

    • October 6, 2015

    Witches in popular culture have a particularly insidious origin - religious persecution. In later years, the image of a witch has evolved - both through pop culture, and greater religious freedom.

  • S01E07 Werewolves and Shapeshifters

    • October 6, 2015

    In this final episode, the role shapeshifters have played in stories and legends is explored. The evolution of the concept eventually brought us Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Wolf Man.
