Show notes
This Week in Horror History (Mar 16–22) is your weekly horror release-date rundown—with where to watch (U.S.), a deep-cut spotlight, and a weekly recommendation built for nights when you want your horror full of bad omens, fast panic, doubles in the driveway, and death working from a checklist. This week we’ve got franchise-launching paranoia, turbo-charged zombie apocalypse energy, polished Biblical doom, modern prestige nightmare fuel, and a deep-cut supernatural oddity where a black hearse keeps gliding back into frame like something unfinished is still following you.
