H'ween Horrorthon: 'SAW' (2004)
"Live or die. Make your choice." Tobin Bell as Jigsaw. "Hello reader. I want to play a game". Right now, this blogger is forcing himself to relive the nightmare of watching a movie which, though praised by many for its originality and its raw verve, this blogger dismissed vehemently on account that while it had plenty of sick, shocking moments, it was not his cup of tea, even though he had subjected himself to every gross-out picture known to man. The film in question, was the first of its kind, where a serial killer decided to teach his victims the value of human life. It would be the first time a horror movie would give you front row seats to a carnival freak-show where victims would be tortured to death for sport—or rather, in this case, to see the bigger picture.

10 Obscure Old School Thrash Bands to Check Out
In my previous article, I provided coverage for modern-day thrash bands that are worthy of your attention and respect. These results were based on bands that moved thrash forward in the current times as opposed to bands that keep thrash stuck in the 80s. While this does thrash no favors today, the 80s and early 90s remain the golden age of not only thrash, but metal as a whole. Other articles do provide earnest coverage on notable albums throughout the genre's history, but the top spots are usually clogged up by The Big Four, often resulting in a coin flip for Reign In Blood and Master of Puppets over the #1 spot. While 80s metal is vast and complex, there are several bands I always felt deserved a second look. While a few bands may be recognizable to die-hard thrashers, many of these bands survived by word of mouth during their time coupled with increased availability in the digital media age. Submitted for your approval, 10 Obscure Old School Thrash Bands.
