Discover The Terror

Welcome… to Discover the Terror! Your ghoulish host, Maximilian Schmidt and Zombaby co-host, Herbert, will lead you hand-in-hand through the dark corridors of hell, exploring some of horror’s most intriguing voices, both rising talents and established icons. But horror isn’t just fiction. It’s real. In addition to artists and filmmakers, Maximilian speaks with individuals immersed in the worlds of the supernatural, the paranormal, and the uncanny. Psychics, explorers, survivors… anyone with a story soaked in terror is welcome in Maximilian’s chair. This show exists to unpack and digest the subjects we’re too afraid to face. To ask: Why is humankind so obsessed with horror, and yet so repelled by it? Horror is the most universal genre. And fear is the most universal feeling. These are two abstract, unending forces that Maximilian and his guests dive into, headfirst, in every episode. With Discover the Terror, the unknown becomes known… or at least, a little less unknowable. Maximilian Schmidt is a devoted student of horror, a writer and director unafraid to confront the most complex, unsettling aspects of human nature and the physical body. His mission: to tell and uncover honest stories that focus on outsiders, “freaks,” and the beautifully dark corners of humanity.
