I’ve deliberately avoided movies concerning ‘spree killers’, ‘obsessed fans’, and movies that contain supernatural elements. It is not intended to be a complete list nor terribly insightful, but a simple rundown of the best, worst and most interesting serial killer titles to be found, …

One of the great powers of horror movies is atmosphere; setting the right mood can be a crucial part of selling the scare. Because of that, much of these movies take place at night or in darkness. I am a firm believer that something is one million times scarier if you can see it in full, hard light. So: the …

Ghost stories were my first introduction to all things spooky and scary – M R James stories (and their television adaptations) used to keep me awake at night, straining my eyes to see spooky patterns in the curtains or wallpaper that were almost definitely ghosts. Ghosts are terrifying for so many reasons: They are often intangible so cannot be physically …

In fact this might present an opportunity for filmmakers to create a “New Year’s” horror film seeing that they get mentioned “every” year at this time (on lists like this)…just saying.

Horror franchises; everyone has a favourite. Even those who don’t particularly watch horror films has a favourite franchise and everyone also has a not-so-favoured franchise for various reasons. The franchise could be boring, it could be so overwhelmingly stupid that it’s unwatchable (here’s to you, Sharknado and Birdemic) or it could be a simple matter of said franchise going on …
