The popular horror podcast Lore from creator Aaron Mahnke proved so popular among listeners that Amazon Video stepped in to adapt it as a six-episode live-action series.
The podcast itself harkens back to classic radio dramas, combining history and horror, without relying on any additional bells and whistles or extravagant effects.
Between torture porn (the Saw series, Hostel), gothic horror (The Others, The Haunting), and Neo-Monsters (Tremors, Pumpkinhead), the genre has evolved and devolved generation after generation.
Lore premieres on Amazon Video as an Amazon Prime Exclusive on October 13, 2017.
