I am a horror movie junkie. Life is super hectic, and I barely have time to consume any film or television, but when I DO get the opportunity, it's always horror.

What is your favourite horror movie, or franchise??

Are there any horror flicks that have come out in the past couple years that really stood out to you??

In the fall I watched a movie on shudder called The Dark and The Wicked (2020), and it was by far the creepiest new film I'd seen in the past handful of years. Totally unexpected, and ultra dark. Pleeeease tell me if you've seen this, because I need to talk about it!!

Here are a selection of my all time fave horror movies, in no particular order:

Rosemary's Baby

Haute Tension (French)

Lord's of Salem

The Shining

Martyrs (French)

Dusk til Dawn

Halloween 1&2 (Rob Zombie remakes)

Scream franchise

House of 1,000 Corpses franchise

Here Comes the Devil (Spanish)

Creepshow (series)

Bates Motel (series)

Tell me some of yours!!

We can agree to disagree on the Rob Zombie Halloween movies. But I have to agree that Dream Warriors is definitely the best of the Elm St. movies.

Tagging in late. Original Halloween movies always clutch to me. The Rob Zombie remakes are a bit too much brutality show than imply. Things like The Shining and Psycho are just blah blah standards as far as I am concerned. Do I love them? Yeah! But they are so staple that I've sutured my horror fixation on them too much to count. Now. Videodrome is .. chef's kiss. That is a movie that will sicken me to no ends and I'll always knee jerk back to it. Granted, these are oldies but goodies. For new stuff that cracks the molds and does some fun stuff? I'll go with Peele's movies. Get Out and Us were simply fantastic twists on the tropes. The shift away from the slasher and body-horror commonality and more into the psychological mess of horror. That said, don't get me wrong, the staples are called that for a reason! Halloween, Halloween 2, Friday the 13th, and lord forbid a great mention doesn't go to Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the original. Remakes have their place, I won't deny that. But they tend to bend straight into the body-horror and go after showing us exactly the things that the originals implied. Just because you can do it now doesn't mean you should. After all, greatest aspect of Leather-Face was the fact that in the original the only person we saw him chain-saw into was himself while climbing over a fence. What we create in our imagination in horror tends to beat what can be shown, which is where I find body-horror interesting on a theoretical level but less interesting on an execution? Sorry, rant over. I just love horror!
