I'm Gilbert Cruz, and this is the Sunday Special.
I could not be more excited about today's episode.
Producers, cue the spooky music.
I love Halloween.
I love the spooky vibes.
I love candy.
I specifically love, like, mini Heath bars.
But maybe more than all of that, I am obsessed with scary movies, and that is what we are talking about today.
Here with me is Eric Piepenberg.
He is the horror movie columnist at The Times.
Hi, Eric.
Hello, Gilbert.
And our first returning guest, what an honor, Jason Zinnemann, a critic at large and the author of the book Shock Value, How a Few Eccentric Outsiders Gave Us Nightmares, Conquered Hollywood, and Invented Modern Horror.
Why is this subtitle so long?
Welcome, Jason.
Good to be here.
Okay, I brought the two of you on here for a very particular reason.
Today we're going to come up with the definitive list of the greatest horror franchises in cinema history.
According to us three.
We're going to make this list.
