Eli Roth producing ‘History of Horror’ for AMC
This weekend at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, AMC and Eli Roth announced the upcoming production of “AMC Visionaries: Eli Roth’s History of Horror (working title).” The six-part documentary series will be part of the network’s upcoming “Visionaries” series, which will also include “AMC Visionaries: James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction” and “Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics.”
“I’m thrilled to be part of this incredible series. For years, I’ve wanted to create a definitive ‘History of Horror,’ a living record of the genre with interviews from all the greats, old and new,” Roth said in a statement. “Sadly, we lose more of these masters every year and with them go their stories and experiences. This show will serve as a record for future generations — fans and filmmakers alike — to enjoy. I could not be prouder to create this with AMC.”
