Happy Halloween! This time of year, horror fans often indulge in marathon viewings of their favorite scary movies. For our holiday Roundtable, we thought it would be fun to list off our favorite horror movie franchises.
This Halloween weekend conjures up a lot more freaky movies than most years, but don’t most people have other plans on Halloween that don’t involve going to a movie theater?
‘Force Majeure’ can feel almost unbearably tense to watch. This is not because it’s suspenseful or frightening in any genre movie sense, more the result of writer/director Ruben Ostlund capturing the impossibly a...
‘Nightcrawler’ takes a satirical stab at the sensationalism of contemporary media so sharp that it cuts to the bone. The film embodies the reckless hunger for fresh footage in a frightening sociopath who wouldn’t...

Honestly, I’m surprised that ‘Grimm’ has lasted four seasons already. I still watch and kind of enjoy the show, but it fell into a rut a while back and it’s very possible that I may not have even noticed if...
‘American Horror Story’ often goes all-out for its Halloween episodes. This year brings a two-parter that started last week and will conclude this Wednesday. Unfortunately, Part 1 may be my least favorite episode of th...
