This week, the Horror Movie Syllabus examines True Crime horror movies! These excellent selections are all the more chilling when you realize that they are based on absolutely true stories! We’ve also got a few “extra credit” selections that you should see!

The Horror Movie Syllabus gets meta as this week’s video is a Horror Movie Syllabus video about movies about horror movies (try saying that five times fast!). Professor Victor takes a look at three fascinating explorations into horror films, focusing on the making, the cultural impact and influence of horror movies on society. We’ve also got some great “extra credit” recommendations for you as well!

From Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds to This is Spinal Tap, the mockumentary has managed to entertain—whether it be by making us laugh or by scaring us into thinking that the events are real.
