The noise that 200 Stab Wounds have been making is far from subtle. The Cleveland, Ohio death metal outfit are relatively new to the scene – having formed in 2020 – but have been rattling the underground. Their impressive EP Piles of Festering Decomposition bursts with ferocious sounding riffs and pummeling presentation. Compared to other

If you’ve seen The Hateful Eight, you’ve probably gathered that Quentin Tarantino is a big fan of John Carpenter‘s The Thing, even going so far as to utilize unused cues from Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack for The Thing in his own snowy suspense tale. As it turns out, Reservoir Dogs was also inspired by The Thing,

Scream was the first horror film I can remember there really being a buzz about in school. Granted, I was in the sixth grade when it was released, but it was the first time I’d heard someone in the hallways say “You have to see this” about a horror movie. It was probably an eighth

Filmmakers employ a variety of tactics to frighten audiences. The jump scare is the most obvious, thanks to its jarring abruptness and accompanying loud music sting.

For many cinephiles, November becomes Noirvember, a month dedicated to noir.
