We can all immediately draw to mind horror movies we cherish that we’ve had to defend as horror. Everyone, especially those outside the genre, seems more than ready and eager to explain to horror fans that they don’t really consider some of those classics to be a part of the genre: they’re psychological thrillers, they […]

If there’s one low budget monster movie that people my age tend to remember, even if they’re not necessarily horror fans, it’s Mosquito.

While Friday the 13th: The Series was a show akin to Halloween III in that it was hated by fans for being different from the rest of the franchise but actually pretty good on its own, Freddy’s Nightmares was a show that by and large deserved its reputation. It was made in the height of […]

People are very quick to complain about the current state of horror. Nothing’s scary anymore, everything’s found footage, torture porn, or a remake. I get it. Theatrical horror drove itself into a corner where it began to thrive on oversaturation. If one thing was successful, that’s what was going to be financed and marketed over […]
