When I started this list a few weeks back, I stated that the number rankings wouldn’t really matter for awhile. These were simply the 100 horror films that had the most profound effect on me and I was going to list most of them arbitrarily. Can I really say that Dracula is the 99th greatest horror...

Everything about Horns is broad: the comedy, the horror, the acting, the suspense, the romance, and the gore. It works far too hard to please, playing to the rafters when it should be more focused on the people in the front row. All the elements are in place for a great genre bending movie but each element...

I love horror anthologies for the same reason I love horror short story collections: they provide a quick fix for a junkie. Horror fans like me have sat through so many movies, read so many novels, and sat through so many TV episodes that it’s nice to have a film that gives you five...

Are we ever going to get tired of zombies? I keep waiting for us to reach our zombie threshold but it doesn’t seem to be anywhere in sight. The Walking Dead’s ratings are higher than ever, there’s a spinoff show on the way, and it seems like there’s a new zombie video game on the...

The vampire is one of the most reliable movie creatures. What zombies, werewolves, and demons lack in personality, vampires more than make up for. They have style, charisma, and class even when giant fangs are protruding from their hideous mouths. Well, they did anyway until Twilight and True Blood came along and sanitized them. What those two pieces of...

For the benefit of the Pop Chomp reading community, I have compiled my personal...

In 1978, a low budget horror movie called Halloween snuck its way into theaters and changed the face of the genre forever. It was the most successful independent film of all time when it came out, wound up on many critic’s best ten lists of that year, and is still considered one of the scariest...

A couple weeks back I wrote a list of what I thought were some fairly obscure horror flicks to watch this Halloween as alternatives to the usual standards. However, a few people pointed out to me that they knew of or had seen many of the movies on that list. So, I’m back and...

Continuing my Halloween coverage, we are here today to examine the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. I’ve made it no secret that this has always been my favorite horror series, so much so that I sort of like all the sequels to a certain degree. Still, I have to admit some are pretty terrible...

It’s a question I ask myself every time I sit down to watch an episode of this utterly insane show. I keep waiting for Sleepy Hollow to falter, for it to go just one step too far down the road to Crazy Town, but it never does. Or at least hasn’t yet. After the...
