In this episode, we dive deep into the ancient myths of Rome, Greece, and Norse mythology to uncover how they’ve influenced the horror genre as we know it today. From vengeful gods to terrifying creatures, these ancient cultures have left a dark legacy that continues to haunt modern horror films, stories, and games.
We’ll explore the eerie tales of Greek monsters like the Minotaur and Medusa, the terrifying Roman underworld gods, and the Norse legends of vengeful spirits and monstrous beings such as Fenrir and Hel. These myths have inspired countless horror tropes, from haunted realms to grotesque creatures that stalk the living.
