When it comes to successful and high quality sequels, the early days of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise are hard to beat. The original is a terrifying and dark classic that seems to just get better with age. Freddy’s Revenge tried something a little different but thanks to strong casting and surprisingly layered characters …
I’ve always believed there is a quite unique and special story running through the Saw movies that was constantly fighting to get out. The first two or three films got close to making that story happen (especially the original), but the longer the series continued the more it got twisted and replaced by a large …
You know the drill … These are the articles that allow passionate horror fans from all across the land to reveal their favorite horror movies and most importantly explain WHY they love them. It’s a thrill putting these lists together and I’m always grateful that the readers and individuals wanting to be involved have felt …
Ah, VHS. Three letters that instill warm, fuzzy and utterly nostalgic feelings in so many horror fans – myself included. A dead format, long ago replaced by things like DVDs and Blu-rays?

They is an excellent, very scary movie. And despite having pretty decent production value, great effects, and being very claustrophobic, creepy, suspenseful, having FreakyLinks favorite Ethan Embry, being presented by Wes Craven, and playing in theaters, either no one saw it (or heard of it) or of those that did, they absolutely hated it.

I’m often asked by fellow fans to list off my favorite horror movie kill scenes, which is a gargantuan list that’s quite frankly impossible to limit to the usual 5, 10 or even 20 that website lists are typically limited to. There are just too many awesome ones that come to mind whenever I’m asked …
