'Historical horror' is not a term that's been especially popularized, but it's most effective when describing the delicious combination of historical events and fictional horror. This subgenre has been quietly enjoying a great run during the last decade or so: not only have there been several movies that brilliantly mix detail-heavy period settings with creepy goings-on but there have been a number of TV shows delving into historical horror with much success, such as Showtime's "Penny Dreadful."
Latest on the scene is AMC's "The Terror," a series that so far has been able to vary its period setting, themes, and even tone thanks to being anthologized season to season. After the first season, which was based on author Dan Simmons' novel "The Terror" (hence the series' name), the second season went on to tell an original tale set in and around the Japanese internment camps in America during WWII.

It’s been five years since the last installment of The Terror, but season 3 is finally on the way.
AMC has ordered The Terror: Devil in Silver, a six-part series based on the novel written by Victor Lavalle. The story follows Pepper, “a working-class moving man who, through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets and perhaps even the very devil himself. As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems, he finds that the only path to freedom is to face down the entity that thrives on the suffering within New Hyde’s walls. But doing so might prove that the worst demons of all live inside him.“

AMC has ordered two new drama pilots with sky-high concepts and historical settings from producers of well-known shows.
The first is Halt & Catch Fire, which depicts the personal computing boom in the 1980s. But instead of being set in all-too-familiar Silicon Valley, the setting is Texas’ “Silicon Prairie” (which generally refers to tech community in the Dallas and Fort Worth suburbs). Characters will include a fictional visionary, an engineer and a prodigy whose “innovations directly confront the corporate behemoths of the time.” The drama is created by Chris Cantwell and Chris Rogers, with Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein (Breaking Bad) as executive producers.

It’s hard to imagine that just a few years ago, not very many people knew who Chris Hemsworth was. Now, thanks to his roles in Thor and Star Trek, the Australian actor has starred in a film with the highest grossing opening weekends in history and has projects made specifically with him in mind. Deadline reports that Sony Pictures has hired the scribe team, consisting of Chris Cantwell and Chris Rogers, to write Shadow Runners for Hemsworth.
The studio acquired the pitch last June, with Tripp Vinson, Beau Flynn and Will Ward producing. The project has since become a huge priority, with Hemsworth being attached to another Thor film, as well as the expected Avengers sequel.
