Lore
Created by Aaron Mahnke
On Prime Video
A scholarly horror anthology that excavates the historical and medical roots of folklore, blending reenactment with narration to transform legend into documented dread.
This anthology series brings to life Aaron Mahnke's titular podcast and uncovers the real-life events that spawn our darkest nightmares. Blending reenactments, animation, archive and narration, Lore reveals how our horror legends – such as vampires, werewolves and body snatchers – are rooted in truth.
