S3.E1 ∙ Halloween
It took a young team's blood, sweat and tears - and a triple-threat visionary - to make this bloodless yet scarily influential horror masterpiece.
S3.E2 ∙ Friday the 13th
What began as a bald rip-off made a bloody splash as a splatter classic. Now the unlikely crew spills its guts about the highs, lows and gory effects.
S3.E3 ∙ A Nightmare On Elm Street
With a studio on the line, an imaginative director in the pocket and an actorly demon in tow, this supernatural slasher hit raked in a surreal profit.
S3.E4 ∙ Robocop
A painfully tight suit and budget, a passionate European auteur and on-set tensions fueled this blockbuster take down of cutthroat corporate America.
S3.E5 ∙ Aliens
A hard-driving director, stressed crew, great expectations - and a tiny budget - made for a difficult birth in the case of this mother of all sequels.

The happily ever after? It's on screen. Behind the scenes, this litigious, loveless foray involved fisticuffs, Nostradamus - and iconic Black talent.

The unlikely holiday classic, and stop-motion first, comes to ghoulish life with persistent vision - and nimble work by a ragtag bunch of misfits.
S3.E8 ∙ Elf
Despite its gifted cast and wonderland of effects, this endearing Christmas comedy is sold short by the studio - till it scores big with moviegoers.
