Try explaining Dracula to someone living in the Middle Ages. Not the film, not the fanfiction, not the coat. The concept. A foreign nobleman with supernatural powers who crosses th...
I honestly believe there are two types of people in this world: The people who think haunted attractions stop being scary once the customers leave and the people who have actually...
Every so often, a horror film arrives that reshapes expectations of the genre. Just as Scream revitalised slashers in the 1990s and Paranormal Activity breathed new life into found...
Not every horror movie needs a cinematic universe. Some horror movies should feel like they crawled out from under someone’s porch at 3 a.m., hissed at the moon, and somehow got di...

I can’t remember the first scary movie I saw but I read my first horror novels and ghost stories probably far too young: enjoying Stephen King, James Herbert, and M.R. James from t...

The past few years have brought some great films to theaters. But it’s funny how sometimes a movie can stand out, compared to a lot of highly anticipated and heavily marketed relea...
Why are rollercoasters fun? It’s the thrill, of course. Adrenaline, dopamine, endorphins. They allow one to experience danger in a safe environment. Fiction can serve a similar pur...
Stories of ghosts, demons, and all kinds of supernatural horrors have their own sense of dread. When used well, they are incredibly effective, although we can always take comfort i...
