Horror and comedy often go hand-in-hand as both genres rely on visceral reactions from the audience, whether they be laughs or scares. And no movie or franchise understood this concept better than Evil Dead. Most horror comedies are really just horror movies with lots of jokes or comedy movies with a few scary elements. What set Evil Dead apart was the way in which its … Continue reading Ranking Every “Evil Dead” Movie
Ghostface has always been one of the most unique slasher villains in he’s not really a single character the way that Michael Myers, Jason Vorhees, or Freddy Krueger are. Ghostface is more a mantle that people take up, and each Scream film serves as a whodunnit to figure out who it is this time donning the mask and cloak. Likewise, because Ghostface is always an … Continue reading Ranking Every Ghostface Killer from “Scream”
Every few years, Scream serves as a meta commentary on the state of horror. Scream tackled slashers, Scream 2 did sequels, Scream 3 analyzed trilogies, Scream 4 roasted remakes, Scream 5 satirized requels, and now Scream VI is here to…well it’s here to do something. With its recent release, we wanted to look back on the franchise as a whole and update our rankings of … Continue reading Ranking Every “Scream” Movie (including “Scream VI”)
Few directors have such simultaneous high highs and low lows as M. Night Shyamalan. He’s gone from being described as “The Next Spielberg” to becoming a punchline, to making something of a comeback and regaining the adoration of fans. However, he still deserves a great deal of respect given that he never compromises what he wants to do, and ever since The Visit, he’s financed … Continue reading Ranking Every M. Night Shyamalan Movie (including Knock at the Cabin)
For horror fans, Christmas isn’t complete without a killer Santa. And while there are plenty of those in horror movies, perhaps none are as iconic as 1984’s Silent Night, Deadly Night. Having to be pulled from theaters due to a massive backlash and moral panic, it also gave way to an entire franchise with very high highs and low lows. So in honor of the … Continue reading Ranking Every “Silent Night, Deadly Night” Movie
The Halloween episode is a staple of many sitcoms, at least those bound by the weekly September to May airing scheduling on network TV. And since there are few TV comedies as iconic and long lasting (thanks to streaming) as The Office, we thought it would be fun to take a look at and rank all 6 Halloween episodes of the series. For those who … Continue reading Ranking Every Halloween Episode of “The Office”
Most horror villains are either misunderstood and misguided like Jason Vorhees and Leatherface, or pure evil like Freddy Krueger or Chucky. But Clive Barker’s Hell Priest (more commonly known as “Pinhead”) stands apart in that he is truly a force of nature. Angel to some, demons to others, Pinhead is the epitome of true neutral and merely comes when you summon him, much like death … Continue reading Ranking Every “Hellraiser” Movie (Including 2022)
There are few directors out there quite as divisive as Rob Zombie. You either enjoy his films for what they are, or you despise them and refer to them as literal garbage with very few people in the middle. Between his surrealist music video approach to visuals, and characters that are incredibly trashy and hostile towards one another, he’s almost a genre to himself. So … Continue reading Ranking Every Rob Zombie Movie (including The Munsters)
When it comes to modern day masters of horror, Scott Derrickson is a name that often gets overlooked among others like James Wan, Jordan Peele, or Ari Aster. But his incredibly solid body of horror work goes back two decades, and his most recent release, The Black Phone is further evidence of the genius of his craft. So we wanted to give Derrickson his due, … Continue reading Ranking Every Scott Derrickson Movie (including The Black Phone)
With the release of Jurassic World: Dominion, we now have the conclusion of not just the Jurassic World trilogy, but of the franchise overall (assuming Universal isn’t tempted to do another one). It all started with a Michael Crichton novel, one whose movie rights were sold before the book was even published. And what it became was one of the highest grossing films of all … Continue reading Ranking The Entire “Jurassic Park” Series
