Best 80s Horror Movies of All Time
Some of the most infamous horror movies of all time came out of the 1980s. As movie producers in the 2010s run out of ideas for scary movies, they frequently default to creating remakes of huge 80s franchises (like the ones we're about to tell you about). You might not have realized it before now, but today's pop culture (shoutout to Fabolous and Jadakiss's new single) is largely influenced by the best 80s horror movies.

Best Horror Comedy Movies of All Time
Horror is one of the most serious genres there is, but horror comedy movies are hellbent on turning the genre inside out. Writers, directors, producers, and actors pay homage to the horror films that came before them by flipping the script, and the results are fun, thrilling flicks that satisfy both our curiosity, and our need for laughs. And don't assume all of them are stupid, either; actually, many of these movies are rather clever.

'It'
After hearing about a new adaptation of the famous Stephen King novel It, I couldn’t wait to see the film. The novel was written in 1986 and has been terrifying audiences ever since. In 1990, a mini-series adaptation of the novel became a classic as well. How could it not be with Tim Curry playing the infamous Pennywise? Incredibly striking imagery including red balloons, bloody sinks, creepy clowns, and werewolves. Which did not disappoint anticipating audiences when the trailer for the movie came out. The novel takes place in '57–'58, then It returns in '84 and '85. The mini-series takes place in 1960 while the second part takes place 27 years later when Pennywise comes back to terrorize the town again.

Top 5 Horror Movies of 2017
2017 wasn’t a great year for mainstream horror. The genre suffered through a year packed with terrible sequels, prequels and remakes. It was a year that featured the return of the Chucky Doll to little to no mainstream notice. We got the backstory of Leatherface and watched another horror legend fail to make it past the On-Demand world. The Hellraiser franchise returned again and was met with almost universal ignorance. The biggest return of 2017 was Jigsaw and what a letdown that was. Jigsaw came back and underwhelmed by forgetting what made the previous entries in the Saw franchise so entertaining.

Get Out: Taking A Look At The Most Negligent Parents in Horror
If you thought "Mommie Dearest" Joan Crawford was the epitome of evil parenting, think again. With so many overbearing and over-protective parents out there, there's bound to be those that mean well most of the time - this article is not about those people. Some parents truly take the cake when it comes to overprotection and being downright cruel and evil, and I was inspired to write on this topic after seeing #GetOut, which, if you haven't seen yet includes some pretty awful parents. So, to honor the adults that both raise children and raise hell, here's a list of who I believe to be some of the most nefarious sets of parents (and single ones) in horror movies.

Reed Alexander's Review of 'Don't Blink' (2014)
This movie was... okay. I wanted a little more from it and at times, the pacing dragged a bit. But the premise was good, the atmosphere spot on, and the acting pretty solid for horror. Not saying it was stellar, but better than most horror acting, at least.

'The Moonlight Man'
Our imaginations have a way of playing the most devious of tricks on us when we are at our most vulnerable. In the quiet of night, a distance of mere feet becomes miles. Silence builds into an orchestra, and a simple shadow becomes a hellish beast. Most of us have had to make the quick-paced walk to our car after a late shift at work, scared to turn around and find someone else's footsteps matching our own.
