What's the best slasher film of all time? What better way to find out by doing a bracket fight! 64 of the most notable horror films face off in a tournament-style bracket. The all-time classics you know face off against the underground fringe exploitation fare... who comes out on top? You pick!
We are celebrating the influence of the slasher movie to the horror genre by ranking them in tiers! The sheer volume of knife-wielding psycho movies is almost overwhelming, but The Scariest Things has taken the time to accumulate as many mad slasher films as we could and compared them to each other. The cool thing? If you disagree, you can shuffle the deck and make your own choices!

A psychic has to save an unlucky trio after they run over the wrong old lady in this mid-length chiller!

Grindhouse meets the French New Wave in this oddball dark horror comedy about a sociopathic automobile tire that kills people with psychokinetic powers. Didn't see that coming, did you?
Already hailed as the scariest movie of 2024, the much anticipated Longlegs will be released theatrically on July 12. The Neon marketing push is going all-out in preparation for the film, including four startling posters and a banger of a trailer. The trailer spoils nothing but sets an ominous tone for what will come.
As we've already opined aplenty, 2024 was something of a bell curve year. Lots of horror films fell right in the middle. Not too hot and not too cold. Just moderate chills with a hint of terror. Turns out the graphic designers and the studios were largely on the same trajectory with with their fav' hype tool -- the HORROR MOVIE POSTER! Some good, some bad, but a whole lot of them parked smack-dab in the middle of the spooky bell curve.
If you're a regular listener to our little ol' podcast you've probably heard us wax poetically about the (sadly) uneven implementation of one of the greatest horror plot lines of all time -- the Amityville Horror. If you're of a certain age Amityville and the Lutz family was all the talk. On the newsstands, in the classroom, at the water cooler. People were...um...obsessed...with this sad family and their demonic plight.
One of our favorite annual happenings! Picking the BEST horror movie posters of the year. It’s fair to say that graphic design in 2023 came in like a little sheep, but left as a full-blown lion. From the outrageous and grotesque to the sublime and beautiful, designers really offered some interesting stuff in 2023.
