Born on February 4, 1940, George A. Romero is well known as a horror icon and the co-creator of the modern, man-eating zombie (along with John Russo).

It may lack the impact of the original two, but Jeff Burr’s Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III is still a surprisingly good film. Released twenty years ago on January 12, 1990, this movie demonstrates that, when it comes to horror, the story never needs to be first and foremost. …

Horror movies aren’t always solely meant to enlighten or even entertain. Sometimes, they’re depraved. They scare us, get us to tense up, or even make us nauseous. While not every film on this list qualifies as a gore extravaganza or even horror, they are definitely depraved to a significant degree. …

Even before Jack Sholder’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, Freddy’s character and powers were a bit confusing. This was, after all, an undead deviant who could attack and kill people in their dreams. By his very nature, Freddy messes with reality, threatening to overturn conventional logic. That …
