History of Horror: Houses of Hell ; Eli Roth's (2020)

Made for AMC,  airing October 10th in the US.

Season 2. Episode 1.

The story: There is no safer place than your home...

But a house can be a prison, you never can tell by looking at the outside just what's happening inside.

When your home becomes your enemy it's terrifying...

In horror movies, houses have personalities just as powerful as their residents.

What kinds of people live in a house that contains a portal to hell, which is thirsty for blood?

If you think you have problems those problems will only get worse if you move into a haunted house.

Houses can be supernatural, realistic, and also mimic comfort and safety, which is a brutal reminder that life is so very short.
