A History of Horror with Mark Gatiss (TV Miniseries)

TV miniseries. 3 episodes. Actor and writer Mark Gatiss ("Doctor Who", "Sherlock") examines the history of the horror film in three stages: the Universal success through the myths of Lugosi, Chaney or Karloff; the Hammer revival with Cushing or Lee; and the 70's american new wave with filmmakers like Carpenter, Hooper or Romero. It's a mythomaniac, accesible tribute to others ways of understanding the horror films, with interviews to living genre icons and a review of their major films.
