5 Couple-Centered Horror Movies That Will Make You Glad to Be Single This Valentine's Day
Warning: This article contains mild spoilers for our ghoulish Valentine's Day horror movie picks. Read on — if you dare! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner — y'know, that time of the year where stores sell overpriced goods like flowers and chocolates. If you’re a singleton, Valentine’s Day is also the time when your singledom is emphasized. For example, you can’t take advantage of couples' discounts (sigh). I especially shudder to think what’s going on inside movie theaters at this time of year, with couples sneaking kisses rather than paying attention to the movie. What better way to avoid the Valentine's madness than cosying up with a movie at home? You definitely won't feel so lonely — or dare to switch the lights off — after taking your pick from these horror flicks.

The Top 10 Best Horror Remakes
I've seen a lot of remakes in my 24 years on this planet, and one theme seems to reign true with every film; it's either a hit or a miss. There's no in between. The remake either leaves you feeling satisfied, or makes you ask "WTF DID THEY DO TO MY CHILDHOOD?" I'm all about positivity at the moment, so I'll be counting down the 10 best horror remakes in my opinion (film numero uno being the very best).

Planning on Having Some Fun This Easter Weekend? Watch out for Ferocious Demon Babies!
When I was a kid, we were always advised not to go out during Holy Week (as a form of penance). So when we stayed at home, aside from Biblical movies on television, there are also horror movies that depict exactly why you wouldn't want to go out on Holy Week.

Philippine Horror Movies and the Spine-Chilling Legends Behind Them
I'm not a horror fan. In fact, I'm almost as skeptical as the next person when it comes to believing things that we can't see with our own eyes, or perhaps can't feel at a distance. However, we cannot ridicule people who do see or feel these spine-chilling phenomenons.

Movie Review: 'Insidious: The Last Key'
I’ve finally figured out why I love the 'Insidious' franchise so much. It’s not that the franchise is all that better than most modern horror films, it still has the clumsiness and exposition laden dialogue and awkward humor that mark most low budget horror of the era. But, what 'Insidious' has over other modern horror movies is great characters. Genuinely likable, funny, and strong characters that we can really root for, especially Lyn Shaye’s brilliant Elise Rainier.

4 Reasons Why Victor Frankenstein Could Be One of the Best Frankenstein-Inspired Adaptations Yet
Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley can be considered a pioneer for many things. Classic horror, exploring how obsession, technological leaps and a brilliant mind could also lead to insanity and fear. At least that's how I interpret it.

'Black Christmas' (1974)
1974's Black Christmas is a dark, gory and intense view into the frighting reality of the human mind, enforced by an exaggerated and un-stereotypical approach towards horror allowing for a truly terrifying viewing that will most probably make your skin crawl! Unless it is too tight obviously...

The Worst Horror Movies of 2017
Horror movies already don't have a particularly good reputation in the film critic world—and it's easy to see why. These movies are often poorly written, overly campy, and at times, will rely on cheap jump scares or splatter to get their "scary" point across.

Best Horror Movies of 2017
Horror movies will always be popular because nothing is more exciting to see in the theatre then a creepy film that has you on the edge of your seat. A well-executed horror film is not easy to pull off, it takes a subtle hand who really knows when to go for it and when to hang back and build tension, and for this reason there is no shortage of terrible ones.

My In-depth Review/Retrospective of Phantasm
The Review: Hello and welcome to my first review. Phantasm is a film that is very close to my heart. This is due to the fact that it is one of the few movies that consistently frighten me with each consecutive viewing. Which for me, is rare within the American slasher genre. As I really don't scare so easily.
