“From the executive producer of The Walking Dead and the executive producer of The X-Files, this anthology series brings to life Aaron Mahnke’s “Lore” podcast and uncovers the real-life events that spawned our darkest nightmares.”
Full disclosure, I had zero knowledge of the apparently extremely popular Lore podcast and when I saw the trailer for the upcoming series pop up on IMDb I immediately assumed it was a animated movie judging by the poster. After reading a few posts on Facebook I realized I couldn't have been more wrong and man am I intrigued by this new Amazon Prime exclusive series! For those of you also unfamiliar with Lore, below is a detailed description courtesy of Deadline:
“The six-episode anthology series combines documentary footage, narration, historical mixed media and cinematic scenes to explore the real-life tales behind pop culture’s most legendary horror myths, such as vampires, changelings, werewolves, séances and possessed dolls. It will feature fan-favorite episodes from the podcast, including the tale of a boy given a doll that seems to have a sinister life of its own; a family whose home appears to be inhabited by a spirit from the other side; and a German village that hunts for a murderous creature.”
