"The formula is easy enough to follow, but I have noticed over the years slasher fans always seem to talk about the same movies. The movies that set the tone. The Friday the 13ths and the Halloweens. But what about the hundreds of other slasher movies through the ages? How come they get no love? Well, my sick friends. They are about to."

"If you didn’t know there was a Spanish version of Dracula from 1931 don’t be too hard on yourself. I didn’t know about it either until I bought the DVD and it was included as a special feature."

Here are 10 of our favorite horror movie songs, all of which would’ve been given Best Original Song awards at the Oscars, if we were in charge!

"Unambitious, derivative works litter the independent film landscape. That's what makes “The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh” so special... The Last Will tackles big ideas while allowing its author to lay his own demons out for all to see. The horror community needs more films like this one."

In the last couple of decades, supernatural horror has earned its place in the constellation of major genres represented in series television.

Fancy a scare of the unfamiliar variety? Then check out some of the finest horror movies you've never seen...

“Jason Voorhees is synonymous with the genre and we plan to build on this legacy with a provocative and compelling take that expands upon the storylines that have already thrilled millions worldwide,” explained Cunningham.

How a Sci-Fi thriller pitched as "Hellraiser in Space" passed from director to director, until it wound up in the hands of Francis Ford Coppola. Starring James Spader, Angela Bassett, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Twilight's Peter Facinelli.

"When you think of Dracula, who do you imagine? Probably Bela Lugosi, the actor who made vampires synonymous with slick black hair and a widow's peak. Norman Bates will forever be Anthony Perkins in my head; Jack Torrance is Jack Nicholson and Annie Wilkes is Kathy Bates. But that is not exactly how Bram Stoker, Robert Bloch, and Stephen King imagined their characters."
