Last week, I wrote an article recommending five ghost movies every horror fan needs to check out, but that list was incomplete. I only looked at classic films from the 1940s to the 1980s, and as I’m sure you know, the subgenre has given us some absolute bangers in the 40 years since then. In…

Ghost movies are a staple of horror cinema. They’ve been around for decades, and from the looks of it, they’re not going away anytime soon.

These movies are as popular as ever, and while your mileage may vary, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Sure, I don’t love every…

Dreams are fascinating. They’re like other worlds we get to visit for a few hours every night, so it’s no surprise that filmmakers have been capitalizing on the storytelling potential of these nocturnal fantasies for decades. Some of the best horror movies of all time revolve around these mysterious phenomena, and when I first heard…

I’m not going to sit here and tell you that the Venom movies are great. They’re not. They have all sorts of storytelling problems, but despite that, I still think they’re a ton of fun. I’ll always be a fan of this franchise, so when I heard Sony was making a third Venom film, I…
