Like any good horror villain the Season of the Witch comes back for one final episode. It’s día de los muertos so let’s celebrate by talking about Mexican horror!

Happy Halloween! Let’s celebrate by talking about the most influential voice in modern horror (in my opinion) and definitely the most influential person in my personal love for all things horror.

Horror continues to soar and escalate through a tough decade in America.

Anything can kill us even our beloved children & what does that say about us?

One of the most prolific subgenres of horror with hundreds of entries. So let’s focus on the late-70s to the mid-80s.

America collectively loses its shit after the 2000 election, 9/11 and the Iraq War leading to a resurgence of horror.

Argento is one of the most unique voices in horror.

It’s not just the Ring and the Grudge when it comes to horror from Japan.

Horror wore out it’s welcome by the first half of the decade before climbing back; but this led to some interesting movies.
