Movies Sign in to your CBR account It's not an easy job to deliver a fantastic sequel to an overwhelmingly successful movie. A sequel's reception has a lot to do with anticipation, how good the original is, and if it offers something new while not doing too much to alienate the established fan base. Film sequels have to juggle many aspects. Being a horror sequel, like Saw III or The Exorcist III, just makes things even harder. One thing horror fans can agree on is that critics don't always...

Movies Published 4 minutes ago Sign in to your CBR account It’s one thing to create a memorable and classic horror movie. It’s a whole different thing to be able to keep up the same quality twice.

Slashers — that gloriously grubby, stabby subsection of horror — were first unsheathed in the early 1970s, when Mario Bava stalked his cavorting, frequently disrobed victims around in A Bay of Blood. You can even look to Texas Chain Saw Massacre from the same time period, or even go back and pay Alfred Hitchcock a visit as he’s filling up the bathtub in Psycho.

“I met this... six-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and... the blackest eyes - the Devil's eyes.”- Dr. LoomisIt almost feels cliché to include this movie on the list. It is the quintessential slasher flick. It established so many rules of horror that are still abided by to this day. It provided not just one of the most iconic horror characters to ever exist, but the theme song to match. Personally it is the first movie to ever give me nightmares.

“There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment.” - Hunter S. ThompsonEvery horror movie has its point of focus. If it’s a slasher, it’s about the violence. If it’s paranormal it’s about the unknown. Of course these movies naturally cross pollinate using elements from every sub genre. The Thing is sci-fi horror focusing on violations of science, like body horror.

Scream Published 2 minutes ago Sign in to your CBR account Horror movies have covered a wide range of sub-genres since the earliest days of Hollywood, from supernatural haunting stories to creature feature monster movies. One of the greatest corners of the genre is the slasher, which has given horror some of its greatest icons, from Leatherface and Michael Myers to Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger.
