We are celebrating the influence of the slasher movie to the horror genre by ranking them in tiers!

The cool thing? If you disagree, you can shuffle the deck and make your own choices!

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.
I think the scale is a bit off... that's a 200 foot woman on the poster!
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.
