EPIX Announces BLUMHOUSE'S COMPENDIUM OF HORROR Docu-Series

Premium network EPIX TODAY announced that horror docuseries Blumhouse's Compendium of Horror will premiere on Sunday, October 2 at 10 p.m. EDT/PDT.

Produced in partnership with Blumhouse Television (Worst Roommate Ever, A Wilderness of Error), this five-part series is the definitive retrospective on the horror genre from the company regarded as the driving force in the horror renaissance.

Blumhouse's Compendium of Horror revisits the shocks and scares from our favorite iconic cinematic horror moments from the 1930s until TODAY featuring insights from some of the best and most influential filmmakers, producers, and actors working in the genre, as well as experts and historians.

The series, narrated by Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street), reflects how quintessential horror films have REVEALED and reflected the real-life scares of the world to the audience, uniting us with shared understanding, catharsis, and entertainment.

"We're thrilled to continue our prolific creative partnership with Blumhouse Television," said Michael Wright, president of EPIX. "For more than a century, horror films have been an essential part of the American cultural vocabulary, and we couldn't think of a better partner to examine the history of the genre than Blumhouse, who have consistently raised the bar in the horror space for over 20 years."

"We hope horror fans will have as much fun and enjoy watching this series as we had making it," said Chris McCumber, president of Blumhouse Television. "We're grateful to everyone who participated in and gave support to the series, including our partners at EPIX."
