This Week in Horror History | Freaks, House on Haunted Hill and Army of Darkness (Feb 16–22)

from Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween · host Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert

Vincent Price invites strangers into House on Haunted Hill, Ash battles deadites in Army of Darkness, and Lestat takes the stage in Queen of the Damned. This Week in Horror History explores February 16–22 with Tod Browning's Freaks and the toy-factory horror of Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5. Haunted-house showmanship meets medieval splatter and vampire rock-star excess. Birthdays include Ricou Browning, Christopher Eccleston, Thomas Jane, and Drew Barrymore. The Hitcher closes the watchlist with a reminder that an open road can become a trap long before the driver sees what is following.
