Sure, you've spent hours upon hours watching Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Candyman, Chucky, and Pinhead slice-n-dice their way across movie screens for decades. But have you really ever tried to get to know them as people? With wants, desires & aspirations for a better tomorrow? Okay, maybe that's not what Shudder's new original docu-series Behind the Monsters is all about. But what it does do is take a deep dive into those cinematic horror icons via interviews with horror experts as well as the writers, directors & actors from the original films that made each character the stuff of horror legends
