Here's what the Horror Hall of Fame series is all about: 

What does it take to become a Horror icon? Whether it be the Filmmakers orchestrating the frights, the Artists crafting the gore, or the Actors engineering the scares, this series takes an in-depth look at the men and women who paved the way for an entire generation of horror fans, and made the genre what it is today.

This episode was Written by Benjamin Skinner, Narrated/Edited by Lance Vlcek, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
